This book explores how equestrians are highly invested in the idea
of profound connection between horse and human and focuses on the
ethical problem of knowing horses. In describing how ‘true’
connection with horses matters, Rosalie Jones McVey investigates
what sort of thing comes to count as a ‘good relationship’ and
how riders work to get there. Drawing on fieldwork in the British
horse world, she illuminates the ways in which equestrian culture
instils the idea that horse people should know their horses better.
Using horsemanship as one exemplary instance where ‘truth’
holds ethical traction, the book demonstrates the importance of
epistemology in late modern ethical life. It also raises the
question of whether, and how, the concept of truth should matter to
multispecies ethnographers in their ethnographic representations of
animals.
