Why can't we ride zebras?


Why can't we ride zebras?
The Issue
Everyday you can see someone riding a horse. But all they can do is neigh now what if we changed it to be more interesting? Imagine riding down a street with a Zebra. That may sound crazy but listen they are intelligent animals in the same equine family as horses. People tame wolves and bears all the time there can definitely be zebra tamers. All horses are domesticated but we could do the same thing with Zebras.
They are adorable, smart, and an amazingly strong breed. By not being domesticated it would make it easier to shape the breed into what we want to see. Not only can this protect them from any worries of extinction we can also feed them better diets and protect from natural predators. Horses are everywhere but how often do you see a zebra. They are not a dangerous species and with the right care we could start a change. Not only changing how we view animals but also how animals view is.
Since they are naturally prey animals it would be a good way to introduce them into a normalness. Similar to cows run in their flight zones we can mature zebras to the point they can trust and receive affection. They would not only benefit physically but also benefit mentally as they domesticate. Due to the process taking a long time it might be years down the road but with your help we could make zebras our future. Thank you so much for reading and don't forget to appreciate zebras.
