Horse riding / steps

Hi, a question for equestrians. When you record an Equestrian Workout, does the Apple Watch count the horses’ steps as your own steps? I know this was the case in the past so I was wondering whether Apple had already fixed this. Thanks very much.

How do I accurately count knitting steps on Apple Watch? Yes I've tried "recalibrating" the watch. No of course that doesn't work. So probably tens of thousands of people who knit are finding that their Apple watch will not count their steps accurately – ever. It appears the only way for the watch to count your steps is to REMOVE the watch while you're knitting. This is insane! Is there really no fix? Does Apple not care? Would they do this if it was basketball players or drummers? I wish I'd bought a Fitbit. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Can I stop watch counting arm movements as steps? Is there any way of changing things in the settings? I purchased this Apple Watch thinking GPS would record my steps more accurately. My Samsung watch was more accurate than this one.
