The [[Western riding|western]] sidesaddle class is similar to the English class but with a sidesaddle having western design features, and riders wearing [[Western wear|western style clothing]]. Riders generally wear a western-styled apron with belt, worn over some type of breeches or pants, but a modified two-leg [[chaps]] design in leather or ultrasuede is sometimes seen, though not legal in some types of competition. Period costumes are also seen in the western show ring. Western riders usually wear a short [[bolero jacket|bolero]]-style jacket that matches the apron or skirt, often with elaborate decoration, gloves, [[cowboy boot]]s and a [[cowboy hat]].

A variation to western-style sidesaddle riding is use of [[Spain|Spanish]] or [[Mexico|Mexican]] style regalia, often based on historic designs.
