nodoárea A manger to provide hay as fodder. Verspielter Pfalz Ardenner Tiergarten Worms 2011.JPG
Map tourism=information
information=map
horse=yes
nodo A board with a map that shows features related to horse riding. Information Map Type Topo.PNG
Open stable landuse=animal_keeping
animal_keeping=horse
animal_keeping:type=open_stable
área A fenced area where horses are kept, but can move freely and food and water is provided. The horses may stay in the open stable the whole time. The fence can be tagged using barrier=fence and fence_type=*. Open stable Velm Neuhaus.jpg
Paddock landuse=animal_keeping
animal_keeping=horse
animal_keeping:type=paddock
área A paddock is a fenced area to keep horses but does not allow for grazing. The surface is either very low cut grass or a layer of sand or similar material. In order to keep the surface suitable usually a drainage is necessary. The fence can be tagged using barrier=fence and fence_type=*.
The main difference to a pasture, which is also called paddock in some regions, is that a paddock does not allow grazing and possesses a drainage.

Paddock box landuse=animal_keeping
animal_keeping=horse
animal_keeping:type=paddock

used for the open-air area

see Stable for the building
área A paddock box is a stall (box) for a horse with a very small adjacent outdoor enclosure which grants access to the open air but does not allow grazing. A paddock box is tagged just like a stable with an adjacent paddock area. Paddock Image Roewer Rueb 02.jpg
Pasture
(Paddock)
landuse=meadow

meadow=pasture
(undocumented)

and optional
landcover=grass
área Pasture - sometimes also called paddock - is a fenced area mainly used for grazing. The fence can be tagged using barrier=fence and fence_type=*.
If the area is not suitable for grazing, see Paddock.

Racecourse

leisure=track
sport=horse_racing
surface=*
for the track

leisure=sports_centre
sport=horse_racing
name=*
for the whole facility

víaárea A  racecourse for horses. Use the key surface=* to specify the surface of the track. Horse racing in Mauritius.JPG
Riding hall building=riding_hall

sport=equestrian
additional if appropriate
área A building that was built as a  riding hall or  lungeing hall, compare "Riding school / arena / pen". Ujeżdżalnia z zewnątrz.jpg
Riding school / arena / pen leisure=pitch
sport=equestrian

building=*
additional if within a building
nodoárea A  place to exercise horse riding. May also be located in a building. If the whole building is used for this purpose, add the tag building=*. Otherwise, if only part of the building is used, map this part separately and only apply the tag leisure=pitch and sport=equestrian. Buelkau Dressurplatz 01 (RaBoe).jpg
Riding stable leisure=horse_riding nodoárea An  equestrian facility where people go in their spare time and practice horse riding. Warendorf, Reitanlage Josephshof -- 2014 -- 8591 -- Ausschnitt.jpg
Stable building=stable
if the whole building is used as a stable

building:use=stable
if only a part of the building is used as a stable
nodoárea A stable is a building in which horses are kept. It most commonly means a building that is divided into separate stalls for individual animals. If the whole building is used as a stable, use the tag building=stable. Otherwise, if only part of the building is used, map this part separately and only apply the tag building:use=stable.

Trail riding station tourism=trail_riding_station
if only used as trail riding station

tourism=*
trail_riding_station=yes

Riding routes

Officially marked riding routes can be mapped using a relation with the type route and the key route=horse. The tag (horse=designated) might be used to specify recommend routes for horse riding, although there is no wide consensus on this.

horse_scale describing the difficulty of the way

horse_scale is a system describing the difficulty of ways for horse riding (similar to sac_scale for hikers or mtbscale for bikes).

The horse_scale tag can be applied to any special part of a way - especially bridges. If you tag a way you should give the whole way the value of the part with highest horse_scale along the way because the most difficult part limits the usability of the way.

The horse=no tag defines that it is legally prohibited to ride a way. Sometimes horse=no is used erroneously to indicate that the way is unsuitable or dangerous to ride. Then it should be substituted by a "horse_scale" tag.

Tag Description
horse_scale=common riding is easy, way is smooth and wide. The default, used to indicate that the way is checked regarding horse issues.
horse_scale=demanding Caution required. Some parts of the way are demanding. Uneven surface. Caution and a skillful horse are required.
horse_scale=difficult Narrow and possibly steep drops to the sides. May have barriers like trees or narrow constrictions. Difficult to pass for big horses. Can usually be passed riding.
horse_scale=critical Very narrow and demanding. Only for trained and experienced horses and riders. Usually passed walking and leading the horse. Bridges should be checked for capacity and condition.
horse_scale=dangerous Difficult, winding and dangerous. Only possible for very experienced horses and riders in good weather, usually leading the horses. Obstacles impassable for average horses.
horse_scale=impossible Completely impassable for horses, deadly peril. Obstacles like ladders or climbing spots with fixed ropes. Too narrow or low for horses. Unstable or narrow bridges, danger of collapse or drop.

The best documentation of this tag is in german language https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Reiten

Historically the values horse=critical and horse=unsuitable were sometimes used to specify a way as problematic or impossible for horsemen. They are deprecated and should not longer be used.

Other useful features

The following features are not directly related to riding but usually also useful when mapping related features:

  • surface=* can be used to specify the surface of ways.
  • smoothness=* specifies the smoothness of the surface of a way, i.e. how even the way is
  • incline=* marks the steepness/slope of a way
  • barrier=* is used to map all kinds of barriers
  • width=* specifies the width of a way
  • trail_visibility=* is used to give a rough estimation how visible a trail is on the ground
