Hi Linda,
it is - "Je ne fais pas du cheval" for 'I don't ride horses' i.e. 'I can't ride'.
You might say "Je ne fais pas de cheval aujourd'hui" for I won't ride today.
So a bit trickier than first thought...
Which is correct "du" or "de" in the sentence "Je ne fais pas ____ cheval.

I don't understand, aren't we suppose to use de in "Je ne fais pas de cheval" since it's negative? It is because faire is irregular?
