      Same as with sheep, I guess. It’s not really their choice to be there with a guy on top.

      Vegans take that to it’s logical conclusion and won’t even eat honey, but I have a bone to pick with them about the nature of the life of a wild animal.

        I’ve owned horses. Trust me, if they don’t want to be rode then they’ll make it clear to you. I’ve had a horse decide that we’re done and just lay down in a stream with me still on their back before.

        All the horses I’ve have the pleasure of interacting with always seems eager to go out for a ride at any and every opporitunity. But at the same time I’m sure that less about the actual riding and more that they know they always get a thorough brushing and treats before and after.
