Riding horseback during pregnancy

As long as you're having a normal uncomplicated Pregnancy, it wouldn't cause a problem.
(There might be some Pregnancy complications where you'd restrict activity, like pre-term labor or Placenta Previa, where you're at risk for bleeding from the Placenta.)

Otherwise, if you're a regular Horseback rider, and you feel confident about your skills and aren't doing things that are Treacherous, there's no reason you can't keep on Riding.

Jogging during pregnancy

It's generally safe to Jog pretty much throughout your Pregnancy. It gets harder as you get further along and are carrying more weight, but there's no danger to the Fetus. As Pregnancy progresses, even the expert runner generally needs to modify her routine.

It's not okay to Jog, however, if you have Placenta Previa, where the Placenta covers the Cervix, because too much Jolting can make you Bleed. It's also unsafe if you have Pregnancy-induced Hypertension or Preterm labor or are at high risk for a preterm delivery.

Mountain-biking during pregnancy

While biking is fine for most people, if you have Placenta Previa (which means the Placenta is covering the Cervix), you wouldn't want to do it because the Bumping up and down could cause Bleeding problems.

And as you get further along in your Pregnancy it'll be harder to bike and riskier.

In the last trimester, it's more difficult to balance and there's more risk that you could fall off the bike.

You might want to consider riding a Stationary Bike as an alternative during Pregnancy.
