Captors? Sorry buddy, you obviously haven't been around horses enough to realize that many LOVE their job. Without horses, modern society wouldn't have existed.

You act like the horse naturally knows these “dancing” moves when it takes many many years of training from PEOPLE to do it. As a rider, personal fitness is paramount, and we teach our mounts how to do these moves over years of communication and queues. Something apparently your little mind couldn't wrap around.

No it’s a lot more work than that actually. Have you ever ridden a horse or do you know what Dressage is? This thread is full of morons.

Horses that successfully compete anywhere from A shows to the Olympics are there because they want to be. Please try to get an unwilling horse over a 5' fence yourself and then get back to me on the results. (spoiler alert: it doesn’t happen.)

This is a dumb take. That’s like saying anything expensive and entertaining is nothing more than a status symbol, as though someone can’t enjoy horseback riding because it is enjoyable.
