Horses are not born with the desire to carry someone on its back, they have to be trained to accept it but they have no opt out clause written into the horse’s constitution. For that matter they don’t have a constitution. They just have man exploiting the animal and driving it beyond endurance sometimes just so that the man can win some money, a cup or prestige. What’s in it for the horse? Hopefully a good stable and good feed but also training, training, training to make it run faster and further than other horses. Some life!!!
