And the theses were classified by research types, topics, research and methods for calculating the frequencies via IBM SPSS Statistic 25. After conducting the frequency analysis, the results were as follows: first, about the research type, 70 theses in domestic journals, 22 theses in master&quots and 15 theses in doctoral were found. Second, as a result of analysis of the research topics, 21 articles on motivation, 11 articles on horseback riding activation, 10 articles on satisfaction, and 6 articles each on service quality and value. Last, about the research method, which included regression analysis (33 theses) and structural equation modeling (21 theses), 24 qualitative studies, 2 integrated studies, and 7 other studies were found.
