It doesn’t seem very humane to ask an animal to risk its life for one’s entertainment.

That's the attitude of the busy bodies and do gooders. Are you one of those? How about a Vegan, or do you enjoy meat, milk, and eggs? I believe that your comment is as ignorant as are those people.

We tend to avoid horses as food, unlike much of the world, but we embrace them for a very wide range of sports. In exchange for this partnership with people, horses are very well cared for and most live a comfortable existence long after they are unable to participate. Without this arrangement, horses would essentially disappear except a few in some petting zoo.

No, it’s the attitude of someone who has respect for life.
