Here we have an English saddle. To be more specific this is an all purpose saddle. This is placed on the horses back and it's what the rider sits on. There are other types of English saddles. Some are racing saddles, jumping, dressage, lane fox, polo, and side saddle.

This is a western saddle. It's a lot different and more complicated that an English saddle. This is used to go on long journeys and is used around farms. Most cowboys ride western.

These pictures are of bridals. Just like saddles there is an English bridal and a western bridal. The picture on the left is an English bridal and the picture on the right is a western bridal. The bridal goes over the horses' head. The metal object in the middle is the bit. The bit goes in the horses mouth. Bits connect to the reins and these two things together control the horses movement.
