horse riders

People on horseback

People who ride horses, whether for sport, work, or recreation.

The term is somewhat redundant since *rider* alone often implies horses, but *horse riders* appears when distinguishing from motorcycle riders or other mounted activities: Horse riders must yield to hikers on this trail.

Equestrians is the more formal term.
