Please, I need to ask if it �s correct to say �travelling by horse � or the correct way is �travelling on horse �.
Thanks

Seaquest, I �m afraid you are wrong.
 
Travelling/Going BY + mode of transport without article (by plane, by horse, by motorbike, by train ...)
 
Travelling ON horseback / foot
Travelling ON a bike / a motorbike / a + public transport (a plane, a train, a bus)
Traveling IN a + private vehicle (a car, a helicopter)

Hello everyone, I �ve read in a pretty good english grammar book that we should not say "going BY foot", but only "ON foot"... Further I �ve been told that we can actually say "going by foot"... Who to believe ?

If you say going by foot, I envision a vehicle that is shaped like a foot (and called foot) or riding around in a giant foot maybe in a cartoon.
