Is good enough actually good enough

So I'm probably a good enough horse owner but is that actually good enough?

Would my horses choose to be with me?

Do they benefit from my riding them as opposed to my looking after them? I can't think of a single positive benefit to a horse from it being ridden, the benefit is to the human, all we can do is make it as pleasurable and enriching an experience as possible.

I will continue to ride but it is for my good.
