Douglas Adams on horses (or oppression)

[cimorene]

It is difficult to be sat on all day, every day, by some other creature, without forming an opinion about them.

On the other hand, it is perfectly possible to sit all day, every day, on top of another creature and not have the slightest thought about them whatsoever.

—Douglas Adams, Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency

Not to mention that horses are prey animals and humans are predators. It's wise of the prey to keep an eye on the predators at all times.
