I wonder on how many animals’ backs did we humans have to jump until we found that horses are OK with it.

This is a really good question.

Most to many horses throughout time, have not been so OK with it all. Not until forced into submission either cruelly or with a patient gaining of trust, of course. Just sayin'...🤓

...and even they kick

i wonder how they went about trying to ride a giraffe??? 🤣

I never allow my mind to wonder that far!

Funny thing that, the people who first used horses as transportation (the Botai) also drank their milk.
