Try this book. I used it for the first horse I ever owned and started under saddle. It was great for step by step instructions on how to start a young horse under saddle. Over the years I moved away from it, and there are things I wouldn't do now, but from a ground up perspective it's a pretty good tool.
And keep in mind, when you're starting a horse, there's no difference between english and western except for the size of the saddle. I personally prefer to start in an english saddle (after being beaten up by a horn on a crazy ass horse that rodeoed me into a busted lip, bruised pelvis, face and almost broken foot), but if they have a good head and you took your time to start them right it shouldn't matter. Style of riding doesn't really shape your horse until you've gotten some miles on them.
