Horse riding and trekking are widely offered as tourist activities, and coverage generally depends on whether the ride is guided, and over what terrain.
Quick answer: guided, recreational trail riding is included in many standard and adventure-tier policies; competitive riding (jumping, racing, polo) and unguided riding on unfamiliar horses are more likely to require an add-on or be excluded.

Whether the policy distinguishes recreational trail riding from competitive equestrian activities.
Whether a helmet is required for cover to remain valid.
Whether overnight/multi-day horse trekking is treated differently from a single guided ride.
We don't estimate pricing, but factors that typically matter include whether the ride is a single short excursion or a multi-day trek, your destination, and whether the activity is recreational or competitive (jumping, racing, polo carry higher-tier classifications).
Some insurers do distinguish multi-day treks from single rides — check your policy wording specifically.
This falls under general activity medical coverage once horse riding itself is confirmed as covered — the main question is whether the specific type of riding (guided trek vs. independent/competitive) is within your policy's terms.
Some insurers do distinguish overnight/wilderness treks from short guided rides due to remoteness and reduced access to emergency assistance — check this specifically for multi-day trips.
Some policies ask about prior riding experience when adding adventure cover — inaccurate answers here can affect a claim, so answer honestly rather than assuming it doesn't matter.
