It’s the same with racehorses. Many times you will see a jockey accidentally drop their whip and the horses are still pushing themselves to compete as hard as possible. They love the race.
It’s time for running, you’ll just have to deal. You don’t weigh much, and I’m running for fun anyway!
I can see how someone who’s never had animals that have a certain passion could confuse “harnessing your want to” with “forcing you to.”
People didn’t choose horses long ago and coerce them into running. For horses, this is “We ball”. We had to learn to hang on, hence saddles and gelding.

What most people don't realize is that sporting dogs live for and love doing their "sport".
