Why isn't one supposed to horseride when one is pregnant? Is it worse than cycling? If so, why?

I cycled until a couple of weeks before DD2 was born, and was one my bike again three weeks after. Actually, I had a break from cycling for a while because I fell off the bike when I was six months pregnant and chipped my elbow, but that aside.... that labour was only an hour and twenty-five minutes long from me realising I was having contractions a few minutes apart to her being born.

Anyway, the question, why is it NHS advice not to horseride when pregnant?
I should probably do some googling but CBA so don't mind if get figuratively swatted for being a lazybones. Going to bed shortly.

glassortwo my friend and I went to Ibiza in 1968. It was my first foreign holiday. We stayed in Santa Eulalia and loved it. We went to San Antonio one evening, it had a reputation even then, but was very restrained compared with today.
