I know from experience - some horses actually seem to like being ridden.....
One of my friends growing up had several horses - and there was a gelding I particularly liked - as he would come to the hitching rail in front of the barn as soon as started dragging blankets, saddles and bridals out of the barn... I never had to fuss with him to take the bit.
About the only time he was a pest is after a ride - he would block you from getting out of the barn after his rubdown... He wanted more... I guess everybody loves a massage...
