Or, like bus stops, perhaps they could come under "highway", as they're a starting / ending point for a journey which is typically along a highway (such as a bridleway).

They are not beside bridleways, they are typically part of the front structure of buildings of an age that means they are automatically grade II listed buildings. Standalone ones are also of an age that they will be protected. They are invariably within conservation areas.

I would maintain they are historic features of interest and not a part of modern horse riding.

How about a nice historic blue plastic one from Smiths Animal health in Derbyshire? Only £88.95 ... new.

Of course it is also available in pink or red. I am surprised it is not available in historic British Racing Green.

I was almost persuaded by "leisure."   Mostly they will be used for leisure and we can live with the few cases where they are professional accessories.  And then I remembered that we have amenity=bicycle_parking and not leisure=bicycle_parking.  Both bicycle parking and mounting blocks seem to me to be accessories to the leisure activity of riding and not intrinsic to the activity (unless you get particular pleasure from parking your bike).




I would not equate horse riding with cycling. A lot of people are using bicycles as a means of transport, for horse riding it was stated above by Philip that it has lost this function a long time ago (and I agree for the european context). There is no infrastructure any more for horses in the cities. There are no stables or spots where you may lock them, you won't get food easily and hardly find spots where to let them water, etc. It simply isn't practical any more to use horses for transport. I would use amenity= for horse parkings, e.g. https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3591/3609176621_a7ef6a55e5.jpg
