Question
Is it permissible for a woman to ride a horse?
Answer
Greetings,
Riding a horse contradicts the ways of modesty for a woman.
Source
In the Gemara (Pesachim 3), it is said that the term 'riding' is not mentioned for a woman, as it is not a clean language.
Rashi wrote there:
Because it is not proper to mention riding and spreading of legs for a woman, even though riding and sitting are the same for both.
