Most of the time, horses would rather be out in a pasture with their buddies. And many horses hate being ridden because the rider makes it a very unpleasant experience for them. Tack can be very uncomfortable, bits often cause them pain because people use it to make them do stuff instead of simply to lightly cuethem to. Saddles must be fitted specifically for the horse or they cause pressure points that cause a horse pain.

Saddles and bridles are both very unnatural to the horse. When not eating and on the move, the mouth is closed, the toungue is in a "down position" and salivation is greatly reduced. However, with a bit, it confuses the horse. He thinks he is supposed to be eating something because something is in his mouth. The mouth is open, salivation is up, and the toungue is in the "up" position, inhibiting breathing.

The saddle is also very unnatuaral. a heavy object on their back, wrapped snuggly around their middle (and sometimes more than snugly- downright suffocating)

I do not think horses like bridles or saddles, but being the amazing creatures they are, they will tolerate it for us, to an extent

yes and no, you see horses don't mind riding and tacking but they would rather be in a pasture with there buddies, but horses don't really care if they are working or not.

It depends. A horse could love working or just being with you, or it could just be stubborn and not want to do anything. Most horses love being ridden, but of course they woudl rather be out in the pasture.
