Having been around barns, I don't think I've ever seen a horse that preferred saddling up to grazing in the field. Do they like to run? I think so - sometimes they run playfully on their own. On a ride, horses move a lot faster on the way back, then on the way out, because they can't wait to get the saddle and rider off.

I don't think we could ever know for sure what a horse is thinking.
