Is it harder to ride english than western?

Not really, you just have a different balances in English. But once you get used to riding english it isn't really any harder then western at all. But I ride both so it's easy for me to ride english as I have adjusted and everything. But to me its not harder but you just have to get used to riding that style, cause like I said you kinda ride with a few different muscles and have different areas of balance.
