Riding while pregnant is considered good exercise, however a horse should only ever carry a maximum of 20% of it's own bodyweight and that includes tack and other fittings on the horse. Most stables have a 250 pound weight limit for riders. For a woman that size to be able to ride, you would need a horse that weighed 2000 pounds or more, was in great physical shape, use lightweight tack, and the horse would have to have at the barest minimum 9 to 10 inches of cannon bone below the knee and be fairly broad in build.

Is it safe for pregnant women to ride in a semi trucks?

Yes. It is perfectly safe for pregnant women to ride in semi trucks. The biggest danger is climbing in and out of them when you're pregnant. Your balance is off during pregnancy, so falling while climbing in and out of the truck is the biggest concern. I would suggest getting in and out of the truck with help. Definitely make sure you have someone behind you to stabilize you so you don't fall.
