Sean,

     While I have ZERO experience filming horseback, I do think it can be done.  I think if you have decent image stabilization, then you would probably be in about the same boat as if you had just run to the bay on foot. Either you are going to be breathing heavy, or the horse is.  I don't think you will have a problem getting close enough to the bay to film, though there are going to be plenty of times that you have to ditch the horse, to crawl through the nasty stuff to get to the bay. Even then, you likely won't be as winded as you would be if you had run the entire distance.

    I am going to say that a lot has to do with the horse. Also remember, that the horse has the same flight instincts that we do. If the hog breaks and is headed in your direction, the horse is gonna get out of the way QUICK. If you don't have a good seat, you might end up on the ground right where the hog is headed.

I am going to say that more often than not, you will use the horse to get you close to the bay, the rest will be on foot. Unless  you are in sure enough open country.

My two cents.
