Abstract:
In August 1991, the book Chinese Nation’s Traditional Sports History was published, and it was hailed as the “masterpiece of Chinese folk sports” by academic circles. In this masterpiece, the traditional horsemanship of 23 ethnic minorities and that of 10 southern ethnic minorities represented by the Miao, Yi, Bai, Shui, Hani, Naxi, and other ethnic groups has been included. For the first time, this masterpiece integrates the traditional horsemanship of the ethnic minorities in Southern China in one volume. The disadvantage is that most of the included traditional horsemanship of ethnic minorities only made a brief introduction to the time, place, and form of its development. However, under the global trend of the transition from traditional society to modern society and post-modern society, the traditional horsemanship of ethnic minorities in Southern China is facing an increasingly serious crisis of inheritance and disconnection, resulting in a gradual extinction of related traditional cultural heritage. The characteristics are gradually lost because of it. Therefore, it is essential to return to the historical and cultural field of traditional horsemanship, conduct rescue excavation, sort out the traditional horsemanship of ethnic minorities in Southern China, rescue the records of traditional horsemanship that is disappearing or undergoing drastic changes, as well as carry out comparative studies on this basis. This is not only an important way to inherit the traditional culture of ethnic minorities, but also means to protect the diversity of ethnic cultures and promote the development of exotic villages.

Abstract:
Abstract Horsemanship as Cormac McCarthy represents it in his novels of the border Southwest is a variable craft—horsemanship contingent upon the particular needs and practices of the horsemen in each work. In Blood Meridian, the scalphunters use horses as tools to aid in killing. In All the Pretty Horses, John Grady Cole's abilities with horses strain credulity as a nearly chimerical communicative experience exists between the working cowboy and his horses. In The Crossing, Billy and Boyd Parham, who are not professional cowboys, use horses as vehicles, and Billy's horsemanship rests upon an emotional bond to the Parham horses, a bond that is based upon his psychological and emotional ties to the horses. In Cities of the Plain, horsemanship returns to the horse as tool for both constructive utility and extermination, while the working cowboys use horses to eradicate a wild dog population in a bloody excursion that mirrors Blood Meridian and All the Pretty Horses. Thus, in Blood Meridian and the Border Trilogy, horsemanship is a gradation shaped by the means and purposes of the riders as well as the historical locus in which the works are set.

Abstract:
It is widely recognized by equestrians that Natural Horsemanship has helped to create better lives for horses, but what are the effects of the discipline among humans? The narratives of the leading exponents of Natural Horsemanship, Monty Roberts and Buck Brannaman, use ethological language to argue that their background of surviving childhood abuse by their fathers allows them to understand the position of “prey animals,” which includes both horse and woman. I posit that Roberts’s and Brannaman’s narratives produce a “prey-identified masculinity” that allows them, as traditional cowboy types (white, broad and tall), to lead the primarily female followed discipline. An examination of the discourse of Natural Horsemanship illuminates the function of gender essentialism, and yet also demonstrates how gender fluidity is encouraged as masculine and feminine body language is employed by men and women in the discipline.

Abstract:
The relationships between humans and animals have been associated with various therapeutic implications. While there is no agreed upon name, the term "pet facilitated therapy" has become widely accepted. Pet facilitated therapy has been particularly adopted to describe the relationship between humans and domestic animals. In contrast to public attitudes o f twenty years ago, the field of animal-human relationships is now respected as a legitimate area of research investigation (Levinson, 1982.) Numerous studies have been conducted on the benefits of the relationships between domestic animals and humans; however, there continues to be little empirical evidence that specifically addresses the relationship between humans and horses. Therapeutic horseback riding, a term which takes into account the relationship formed with the horse both while riding and on the ground, has been widely accepted among the professionals in the field. Despite this agreement, applied research in the field is needed to validate its apparent benefits. The present study was developed to determine how a therapeutic horseback riding program can predict outcome on self-esteem, frustration, tolerance, depression and anxiety. Participants were 81 emotionally disturbed males between the ages of 6-16 who were students in a residential treatment center. Results were analyzed using zero-order correlations and a series of setwise multiple regression equations. The results indicated that children who experienced a meaningful bond to a horse were more anxious and depressed. However, the bond with a horse did not significantly influence a child's self- esteem or frustration tolerance. Children who were more involved in the horsemanship program tended to be less depressed and anxious. A child's self-esteem and frustration tolerance were not affected by their involvement in the horsemanship program. Children's conduct in the horsemanship program did not significantly influence their self-esteem, frustration tolerance, depression or anxiety. Implications of these results are for the therapeutic use of horseback riding as an adjunct or alternative therapy for emotionally handicapped individuals.

Abstract:
The competent use of horses was essential to the seventeenth century English gentleman; however, scholarly analysis of human-horse interactions for this time period has been relatively slim. While historians of honour and masculinity have examined various aspects of gentlemanly honour, such as politics, religion, and gender division, horses and horsemanship have remained unexplored. This study, through the reading of seventeenth-century horsemanship manuals, will place horses and the art of horsemanship into the historians' perception of how gentlemen created, maintained, or lost honour for themselves, for their families, and for the English commonwealth. Horses and horsemanship, other than being pleasant pastimes or symbols of man's domination over nature, were central to gentlemanly honour. The breeding and importing of "great horses" was undertaken according to specific aesthetic and practical criteria which, if the requirements were followed, improved individual and commonwealth honour. While mounted on a "great horse" a gentleman, along with displaying perfected riding skills, needed to showcase emotional and bodily action bridling to avoid charges of ignorance, ineptness, bestiality, or effeminacy. Horses were a central means of creating gentlemanly honour both for individual advancement and for England's honourable reputation as a strong and defended kingdom.

Abstract:
Millions of horses worldwide are subjected to various training and management routines by people of various levels of ability. Such interventions can have detrimental impacts on the welfare of these horses. Therefore, improving the way horses are trained and managed is of great importance. By applying the principles of learning theory to training, and combining these with those of equine ethology, the training and management of horses can be improved. The current project examined the role of reinforcement in equitation through the following series of studies: 1. A survey of all registered equestrian coaches within Australia to determine their knowledge of learning theory. 2. The concurrent use of positive and negative reinforcement. 3. The optimal timing of reinforcement when teaching foals to lead. 4. The development of a low-cost sensor and ambulatory recording system (worn on the horse) that can be used in everyday training to measure the tensions in the reins of ridden horses. 5. The measurement of rein tensions required for horses to elicit specific equitation movements.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is part of a journey that has encompassed a lifetime love of horses. It evolved from horses being a childhood passion, and led to working with horses together with young people with various disadvantages and difficulties in a therapeutic and educational capacity. The PhD research study followed as an attempt to articulate and share some of the experiences of ‘The Yard’, the therapeutic horsemanship (TH) programme on which this thesis is based. Through a personal belief and understanding that contact with horses could be therapeutic in a number of ways I found myself in the fortunate position to be able to incorporate TH in my work as a social worker for a foster care company. Whilst initially this was limited to young people who were in foster placements with this particular company, the TH programme expanded through interest from outside agencies to include young people referred from youth offending and other organisations. The young people who attended the TH programme, named ‘The Yard’ for the purpose of this study, were generally considered to be ‘at-risk’ within the social work and allied professions due to their circumstances and histories. Substantial research within the literature concerned with risk and resilience claims there is a high likelihood of negative life outcomes as a result of experiencing adverse childhood experiences (Masten, Best, & Garmezy, 1990; Rutter, 1985). It cannot be claimed that this thesis is completely impartial or objective; on the contrary it is a deeply personal and reflexive account of my experiences alongside seven of the young people who attended The Yard and participated in the study. I can only hope that through the many hundreds of hours of the meticulous process that has made up this practitioner-researcher ethnography, that I have provided some kind of useful contribution to the knowledge base of TH. In any case, at the very least, it has certainly been a hugely worthwhile endeavour in terms of gaining invaluable insight into my own practice, together with associated personal and professional growth.

Abstract:

Syftet med studien är att undersöka vad en grupp ridsportledare vill förmedla till sina elever, samt ta reda på vilka kunskaper och värderingar som produceras och förmedlas inom ridsportkulturen. För att uppnå syftet har jag formulerat nedanstående frågeställningar.

Vilken utbildning har ledarna inom ridsporten?

Vilka är de oskrivna reglerna inom ridsporten vad gäller etik, moral och empati?

Hur förmedlas den goda ridsporten till eleverna enligt ridsportledarna?

Metod

Fem ridsportledare i Stockholmsområdet kontaktades baserat på vad som i forskningssammanhang kallas ett informerat urval. Författaren valde ridskolor med spridning inom Stockholmsområdet. Några större och några mindre avseende medlemsantal. Ledaren skulle varit aktiv under flera år och med god inblick i verksamheten. Det slutgiltiga valet föll på de klubbar som hade väl utvecklad ungdomsverksamhet. Tid och plats för intervjuerna bestämdes vid det första telefonsamtalet. Intervjuerna har varit kvalitativa för att få en djupare insikt i vilka tankar ridsportledarna har kring sin ledarroll och vilka värderingar de vill förmedla till sina elever. Samtliga intervjuer har bandats och skrivits ner ord för ord.

Resultat och slutsats

Ridsportledarna är välutbildade inom sitt område och i princip inga ”snälla föräldrar” nyttjas som ledare. Eleverna på ridskolan tillbringar mycket tid i stallet utöver sin faktiska ridtid, många gånger upp till sju dagar per vecka. Ridskolans roll som fritidsgård kan därmed diskuteras och i och med den tid eleverna tillbringar där får de äldre eleverna och ledarna även en framstående roll som förebilder.

Ridskolans viktigaste uppgift anses vara att lära ut hur eleverna ska hantera hästen. De oskrivna regler som framför allt poängteras är: horsemanship, ödmjukhet och kamratskap. Alla ryttare på en ridskola måste kunna den sociala koden för just den ridskolan. I det avseendet är ridskolan en extremt fostrande miljö eftersom så många olika människor, med avseende på ålder och attityd, ska kunna mötas på samma område och samsas om samma hästar.
