Use this key for mapping access permission for equestrians (people riding on horseback[1]) on highways/tracks/footpaths.
It takes several values, such as yes
, no
, private
, designated
, as part of a generalised scheme for access restrictions applying to all different transport types. See access=*
.
Even if horse riding is forbidden (horse=no
), leading horses may nevertheless be allowed (compare
horse=dismount
).
If horse riding is allowed, horse-drawn vehicles may nevertheless be forbidden and vice versa: on ways were horse-drawn vehicles are allowed riding on horseback may be forbidden. (see carriage=*
, in the OSM access-hierarchy carriage=*
is not a subcategory of horse=*
, these categories do not overlap, the former is member of vehicle=*
the latter is not).
This is a legal restriction, don't use it to tag the suitability. To tag the suitability for trail riding you can use horse_scale=*
instead.
