I replied elsewhere, but honestly, even removing the dragon bit entirely, there are series out there with horses who ARE sapient and have language (and potentially even culture) and still are ridden like other horses, with the tack being to help their humanoid partner communicate and stay on. They consent to wearing the tack.
I have also seen other stories where creatures like centaurs also wear a tack like apparel when they work with humans, and other creatures that are sapient but wear tack.
The only thing FR doesn't have that those other stories do are humans, but FR *does* have humanoid creatures that could still benefit from the use of tacks.
