Will riding English and Western confuse my cross-trained horse?

Question

We might lease a horse and he is trained for english and western. Even though he is trained for both would riding mostly english then western a little mix him up?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Many horses are cross trained in both English and Western. Riding both is fine, but if you plan to use him for competion, some horses may do better focusing on one discipline. Take your cues from him as to how easily he switches gears riding one style versus the other.
