right its just fun to talk about topics like this without people taking it personal

no direct experience i grew up with a love for horses and did visit my friends horse stable but was never allowed to ride them personally bcs it was too expensive (which it still is). Growing up I always thought about picking up riding for myself but the older i got the more i thought about the ethics of riding horses. I guess the interest about these topics just came naturally to me because i just like discussing it not because i particulary stand for the cause. Im not passionate about it i was just interested in other peoples opinion so it could potentially change with good arguments but i did see a few equestrian videos on my tiktok fyp where some riders were being critized for being too forceful with their horse when it shows signs of not wanting to be ridden (thats how the question came to me) also are you talkiung as someone with a lot of horse experience or is it just based on reading
