Further Information

Possible icon

Possible reason to add

As long as there is no preset for horse walkers available, users often mistakenly use the preset for riding centres (leisure=horse_riding) for them; most recent examples:

• https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/133983562
• https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/129900838

Possible reasons NOT to add

• animal key is not ideal
• 48 % of all uses are in Ireland so far

I know, but this horse doesn't walk, it stands.

I know, I made the tag page like this proposal in 2018, and they are still quite similar.; I only removed barrier=fence as a refining tag recently, compare talk page.
