Equestrianism is my primary hobby, I used to work at a feed store too!
I have heard of that, I know horses are riddem for work purposes, like police work, so I see the point, even if I wish they were free
Yes, animals shouldn't be used as tools for humans, I feel like that is just the clunkiness of the transition, soon we will have robots that serve the functions animals did.
I hope so, machines are more practical and are programmable, they can do much more complex things it just makes so much more sense
