The term "horseback riding" emphasizes the rider's position on the horse's back, which is a key aspect of the activity. "Back" indicates that the rider is on the horse's body, distinguishing it from other forms of interaction with horses, such as leading or grooming. The phrase has historical roots and has become the standard terminology in equestrian contexts. Using "horse riding" could imply a broader range of activities that don't specifically involve riding on the horse's back.
