horseback

A horseback ride means traveling on the back of a horse.

When people talk about riding horseback, they usually mean that they are sitting on a horse and moving from one place to another. This can be for fun, like going on a trail ride through the countryside, or it can be more serious, like riding long distances for work or travel. Horseback riding is often associated with rural areas, cowboy culture, and outdoor activities like hiking and camping. Some people also use horseback as an expression to describe something that happens while riding a horse, like having a great view from horseback or getting tired from horseback riding.
