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 (=no), leading horses may nevertheless be allowed (compare =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 =*, 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.
