Horses? That is a very peculiar activity on which to focus, no? Kids playing any sport or painting or any of a zillion other things also aren't on phones while doing them.
depends on what they meant. If they meant owning a pony / horse, that is a BIG time commitment for a live animal and i can certainly see how that guarantees reduced screen time. If they meant taking weekly lessons, then idk what they mean lol. For that kind of activity you just show up and ride the horse, no caretaking needed. Similar to play sport in a facility.
Sport or painting is something you can easily change their mind about on a whim, especially at a young age.
