UK / US Terms
There are some differences between riding terms used in the US to those in the UK. To help avoid confusion and to help understand some of the terms used in messages on the message board here is our 'conversion' table.
It's an ongoing list which you can add to - if there's something we haven't yet covered add a comment to the bottom of the page and we'll incorporate them into the page.

| | | It would also be heelpful to have somewhere on here to convert UK currency in to canadian money, it gets very confusing!
| | | Two things :)
*Jumpergirl-if you can convert the UK money to US dollars, I usually just double the price to come to Canadian. It comes to a close estimate.
*Around here a canter and a lope are two very different things.. and so is a trot and a jog. I think you might be getting them mixed up with Western terms and English terms instead of US and Uk? Another thing, I always thought a Driving Whip and a Lounging Whip were two different things.
| | | In the US we also use canter, trot, crop, Lunge Whip, Girth. It's not just the UK that uses those.
| | | Just a note...
Pinto is a colour type: a Piebald has only large white and black markings while a Skewbald has white and any colour other than black.
| | | Hey WordBird,
Yeah, in the US, we use trot and canter too, but that's only for riding English. When riding Western we call it jog and lope.
| | | Paint Breed aka Paint Hourses (Paint is both the breed and the color) come in all colors (Bay, Blue Roan, Buckskin,Chestnut, Dun, Gray, Grullo, Palomino, Red Dun, Red Roan, Sorrel , however the main catagories/distinctions are Tobiano, Tovero and Overo. They are also known as Pinto in the USA(in the UK Paint Horses are known as Piebald, Skewbald and Odd-Colored) To learn more try the site www.apha.com..it is informative and gives their history from 1500
