There is no point in arguing with an idiot when it comes to horses, Duchess and Crash.
Horses today are fenced in to keep them SAFE from the dangers of cars and hunters, city streets, open holes MAN made etc.
Horses are only 'twitchy and nervous' around YOU, OP because they are sensitive to things around them that are 'not right' - YOU are "not right" on so many different levels they probably think you're something evil come to harm them.
A horse that has gained your trust will indeed allow a human to ride them, I've NEVER had to 'break' a horse that I bred or owned because they trusted me that I wouldn't harm them. I also NEVER rode any of my animals with a bit in it's mouth. Many horses do need a bit, but those with kind and gentle hands don't use it to hurt and many times the horse is simply playing with it more than it is a tool.
Race horses continue to run because horses are herd animals. When theherd is running, even after the jockey is dumped, he WILL by the nature of his flight for survival mechanism, continue on with his herd.
Horses are one of the very few domesticated animals that if turned out to live in the wild can easily survive provided he's not turned out into the city but in a suitable environment.
STFU - your ignorance is overwhelming.
