RE: Mary and horses
Could a native speaker please comment on the following:

On Nov.12, 1875, Elizabeth T. Edwards wrote in a letter to Robert:"...She (Mary) is usually cheerful and enjoys everything, which interests us, as riding, visiting etc."

I'm not sure if "riding" in this case refers to horseriding or to riding in a carriage. (In German there are two different words - "reiten" - a horse and "ausfahren" - in a carriage.) Is it possible that Mary still rode on horseback at that age or does it most likely refer to a carriage ride?
