Use this key for mapping access permission for equestrians (people riding horses) 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 (see carriage=*).

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.
