You obviously learned about horses from a movie.
....
My dad worked the fields with them (grandpa had planned to replace the horses (Morgans) with a tractor in the spring of 1942.) This made theirs the last farm in the area worked by horses. So I learned about horses from somebody who knew horses.
Growing up - many of our neighbors had horses so I learned to saddle and ride theirs. I could have had one - but the expense and time involved just did not make it seem worth it.
See - for the most part - unless a horse is dragging a plow or other implement - you do more for the horse than the horse does for you.
You provide the horse with foo0d, water, shelter and medical care.
You think a horse feels enslaved? LOL. What anthropomoric drivel. A slave tries to run away from it's master. If you take a horse somewhere and leave it - it will show back up at your barn in short order. In fact - if your barn is burning down - and you get the horses out - they will try to run back in the barn. I have seen this with my own eyes.
We provide them with a sense of safety and belonging.. They don't seem to mind much the occasional ride.
