Some competitive events may use flashier equipment.
Unlike the English traditions where clothing and tack is quiet and unobtrusive, Western show equipment is intended to draw attention.
Saddles, bits and bridles are frequently ornamented with substantial amounts of silver.
The rider's shirt is often replaced with a jacket, and women's clothing in particular may feature vivid colors and even, depending on current fads, rhinestones or sequins.
Hats and chaps are often color-coordinated, spurs and belt buckles are often silver-plated, and women's scarf pins and, when worn, men's bolo ties are also ornamented with silver or even semi-precious gemstones. 
Bridles usually have a "bit" attached to "reins" and are used for riding and driving horses.
"English Bridles" have a "cavesson" style noseband and are seen in English riding.
Their reins are buckled to one another, and they have little adornment or flashy hardware.
"Western Bridles" used in Western riding usually have no noseband, are made of thin bridle leather.
They may have long, separated "Split" reins or shorter closed reins, which sometimes include an attached "Romal".
Western bridles are often adorned with silver or other decorative features.
"Double bridles" are a type of English bridle that use two bits in the mouth at once, a snaffle and a curb.
The two bits allow the rider to have very precise control of the horse.
As a rule, only very advanced horses and riders use double bridles.
Double bridles are usually seen in the top levels of dressage, but also are seen in certain types of show hack and Saddle seat competition. 
In 1900, at the peak of the industry, approximately 10,000 people were employed locally in preparing leather, and making saddles, horse bridles and related leather items.
It is estimated that there are still at least 40 manufacturers of saddles and bridles in the town, as well as a number of makers of bags and light leathergoods, including three Royal Warrant holders. 
Western riding evolved from the cattle-working and warfare traditions brought to the Americas by the Spanish Conquistadors, and both equipment and riding style evolved to meet the working needs of the cowboy on ranches in the American West.
Though the differences between English and Western riding appear dramatic, there are more similarities than most people think.
Both styles require riders to have a solid seat, with the hips and shoulders balanced over the feet, with hands independent of the seat so as to avoid disturbing the balance of the horse and interfering with its performance.
The most noticeable feature of western style riding is in the saddle, which has a substantial tree that provides greater support to horse and rider when working long hours in the saddle.
The western saddle features a prominent pommel topped by a horn (a knob used for dallying a lariat after roping an animal), a deep seat and a high cantle.
The stirrups are wider and the saddle has rings and ties that allow objects to be attached to the saddle.
Western horses are asked to perform with a loose rein, controlled by one hand.
The standard western bridle lacks a noseband and usually consists of a single set of reins attached to a curb bit that has somewhat longer and looser shanks than the curb of an English Weymouth bridle or a pelham bit.
Two styles of Western reins developed: The long split reins of the Texas tradition, which are completely separated, or the closed-end "Romal" reins of the California tradition, which have a long single attachment on the ends that can be used as a quirt.
Modern rodeo competitors in timed events sometimes use a closed rein without a "romal".
Western riders wear a long-sleeved shirt, denim jeans, boots, and a wide-brimmed cowboy hat.
Cowboy boots, which have pointed toes and higher heels than a traditional riding boot, are designed to prevent the rider's foot from slipping through the stirrup during a fall, preventing the rider from being dragged—most western saddles have no safety bars for the leathers or automatic stirrup release mechanism.
A rider may wear protective leather leggings called chaps.
Clean, well-fitting work clothing is the usual outfit seen in rodeo, cutting and reining competitions, especially for men, though sometimes both men and women wear brighter colors or finer fabrics for competition than for work.
Show events such as Western pleasure use much flashier equipment, unlike the English traditions where clothing and tack is quiet and unobtrusive.
Saddles, bits and bridles are ornamented with substantial amounts of silver.
The rider may add a jacket or vest, and women's clothing in particular features vivid colors and even, depending on current fads, rhinestones or sequins.
Western horses are asked to have a brisk, ground-covering walk, but a slow, relaxed jog trot that allows the rider to sit the saddle and not post.
The Western version of the canter is called a "lope" and while collected and balanced, is expected to be slow and relaxed.
Working western horses seldom use a sustained hand gallop, but must be able to accelerate quickly to high speed when chasing cattle or competing in rodeo speed events, must be able to stop quickly from a dead run and "turn on a dime."
Riding horses are shown in brown tack, with a coloured browband.
Double bridles or pelham bits are used.
Saddles should be straight-cut to show off the animal's shoulder.
(This style is called an "English showing saddle" in some places, to distinguish it from both the "Forward Seat" and the "Dressage" saddle).
Manes should be plaited, tails pulled and legs and faces trimmed.
Riders should wear tweed jackets and riding hats, cream or buff breeches, a cream shirt with a tie and tall black riding boots.
Show canes are generally carried.
For evening championships riders should wear a black or navy jacket with a white or cream stock, fastened with a pin, plus a top hat.
