They are all correct except possibly 4. I would say I like going horseback riding, or simply I like riding horses.

I think that "horseback riding" is much more common in the USA. In the UK, we would usually say: - I like going horse riding - I like to go horse riding (my preference) - I like horse riding - I like going riding - i like to go riding - I like riding |

You learn something new every day!
I have never heard "horse riding" and didn �t even know we had this BE /AE difference. In the US it �s definitely "horseback riding".
That �s why I love this site so much.
Cheers,

I always think that "horseback riding" sounds tautological. What other part of the horse would you ride? ;) |
