Riding, training and caring for horses are visceral experiences
that require the immersion of both body and mind. This book
provides an in-depth understanding of human-horse relationships and
interactions as embodied in equestrian sport and leisure. As a
closely focused ethnographic study of the horse world, it explores
the key themes of partnership and collaboration in human-horse
communication, the formation of individual and collective
identities performed through involvement in the horse world, and
human-horse interaction as an embodied way of being. This book
argues that encounters between humans and horses can reveal the
ways that human society has been and continues to be structured
through intersection with nonhuman others. Equestrian sport and
leisure provides an apt context for considering how such concepts
of interspecies communication and collaboration are negotiated,
managed, (mis)understood and performed, resulting in a uniquely
embodied way of knowing and being in the world. Human-Animal
Relationships in Equestrian Sport and Leisure is fascinating
reading for anyone interested in equestrianism, human-animal
studies, theories of embodiment, the sociology of sport, or sport
and social theory.
