But I thought that would be like "llevar a alguien a cuestas" or "a caballo".

When I was a kid (probablly a regional usage) we would ask:

¿Me llevas a camello o a caballo?

(a camello = carry on one's shoulders)

Here in the U.S.:
To carry someone piggyback. -or- To give someone a piggyback ride.

I agree with 'llevar a caballito/caballo'.

En México se dice "cargar a alguien de caballito". A los niños les encanta.
