But never felt comfortable on an enlgish thing on which you sit. saddle. 

I much prefered western saddle style. There no one cares about fancy pants moves with your horse: you just fucking grab the pommeau and ride. No need for lessons. ah ah ah...I had very little exposure to the public as a horseback rider. And my horse at 12 kept getting huge hardons every time I brushed him. It was very annoying and I did not want to brush him that much, horny dad to me at some point that he had been. Anyway, he had a hard on the whole show I presented riding him. Sigh. I wanted grace at horseback riding: no such luck for me. This is western saddle style with a piquette.
