pleasure riding
Casual equestrian outings
Pleasure riding is horseback riding done for enjoyment rather than competition, work, or training.
The term distinguishes casual recreational riding from more demanding equestrian disciplines: She keeps two horses for pleasure riding on weekends.
The phrase applies similarly to other activities—motorcycling, boating—where the purpose is leisure rather than utility.
