This book presents an in-depth, qualitative exploration of the
practice of horse-riding by "disabled" and "non-disabled" riders
and their horses. Situated as part of an "affective turn" within
human geography, creative and original use is made of
poststructuralist theory to bring together animal studies and
disability studies in order to decentre the human as we think about
the social. Eighteen months of multi-sited performance ethnography
"on the hoof" were conducted with riders recruited from local
riding schools, an internet forum and three Riding for the Disabled
Association (RDA) groups. The study employed various methods,
including diary-keeping, participant observation and
video-recording of riding activities, in order to capture moments
of horse-human relating. Through these methods, the embodied
expressions of horses are taken seriously as demonstrative of their
individual thoughts and intentions.
