I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'riding' is the definition.
(pony-trekking is a kind of riding)

'pink york gent out' is the wordplay.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'pink'+'york'+'gent'='pinkyorkgent'
'pinkyorkgent' anagrammed gives 'PONY-TREKKING'.

'horse' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
