Horses are smart enough to get bored, so taking a human along for a ride is hardly torture. If a horse doesn’t want you on his back, he’ll let you know in no uncertain terms.

Yep, the horse will let you know when he has a problem.
Address his basic needs, don’t stink like a wolf, and there will be mutual respect and benefits.
If horses could think about the alternative they’d surely think we are better than the state of nature.

Like a ride under a low tree branch.
