Question:
For a girl riding a horse is it a problem that she might rip the Besulim?
Thank you very much!
Answer:
I heard of such an idea, however I don’t know anywhere that it says that it is an issue. There is an issue with a woman riding a horse, and that is bewcause of the body position that she has to be in while riding it, is not a tzniusdik position, but this would be for woman as well as girls.

rav moshe used to tell girls not to ride horses because of this. none of his family members do.
