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:

In recent criticism, arguments about whether domesticity in The Wide, Wide World (1850) empowered or disempowered women, and whether it was embraced or critiqued by Warner and her contemporaries, have been founded upon, or at least buttressed by, readings of horses and horsemanship. The interpretation of Ellen Montgomery's riding lessons as a metaphor for her disempowerment, and the ubiquitous denunciation of John Humphreys as "brutal horse-beater," however, have little grounding in the nineteenth-century horsemanship on which Warner drew. While for centuries horses in Western culture had been associated with human passions and horsemanship with their forcible domination, a combination of new methods for disciplining equines and new forms of recreational riding rendered the equine body, in the nineteenth century, discursively situated to communicate the internalized discipline and self-regulation that was necessary to make a human body middle class. Through horseback riding and other lessons, Ellen attains the particular mental and bodily development necessary for her to become a proper, sentimental, middle-class woman who is inserted into a network of power relations-a network in which Ellen attains power over other kinds of women who fail to meet the standards that she does. Historical contextualization also reveals that John's horsemanship accords quite well with nineteenth-century standards and would not have been seen as abusive by his contemporaries. As nearly all arguments about The Wide, Wide World's resistance to domestic ideology have been predicated upon John's propensity for horse-beating, this essay calls for a reexamination of what has become a principal claim of Warner criticism.

Abstract:

Zusammenfassung Die kulturhistorische Erforschung der Grenzregime, die in der Frühen Neuzeit die natürliche Grenze zwischen Mensch und Tier festlegten, und die Instabilität und Brüchigkeit dieser Grenze haben in letzter Zeit im Kontext der human-animal-history besondere Aufmerksamkeit erlangt. Dressur- und Manegepferde, deren Züchtung, Haltung und Vorführung im Mittelpunkt der Quellenmaterialien stehen, die für die vorliegende Studie ausgewertet wurden, passen eher schlecht zum Bild vom wilden und vernunftlosen Tier, aus dem sich traditionell ein menschlicher Herrschaftsauftrag ableiten ließ. Der vorliegende Beitrag greift diesen Gegenstand auf und beleuchtet ihn anhand der horsemanship-Traktatistik sowie des Pferdediskurses, der im England des 17. Jahrhundert geführt wurde. Mit den Fallbeispielen des Stuart-Hofes und der Cavendish-Familie wird allerdings versucht, darüber hinausgehend die wissenschaftliche Relevanz und das heuristische Potential der horsemanship für verschiedene Forschungszweige der Geschichtswissenschaften zu veranschaulichen. Die Thematik liefert u. a. neue Einblicke in die Erforschung des historischen Wandels von Naturkonzeptionen und dessen Auswirkungen auf politische Ordnungsentwürfe oder aber in die semantische und symbolische Kommunikation adeligen Selbstverständnisses, aber auch des Selbstverständnisses nichtadeliger Ständegruppen. Das Pferd eignet sich besonders gut zur semiotischen Repräsentation von Standeszugehörigkeit sowie als Legitimationsressource, die die abgehobene Stellung des adeligen Standes ebenso wie seine politische Bedeutung rechtfertigt. Über das Pferd und die horsemanship wurden im 17. Jahrhundert deshalb ständegesellschaftliche Konflikte ausgetragen, an denen sich aufzeigen lässt, dass Tiere und die Interaktion zwischen Tier und Mensch in der Frühen Neuzeit eine eminent politische Bedeutung besaßen.

Abstract:

Abstract This paper examines the ways in which two methods of horse training generally considered divergent approach the concepts of partnership and conflict in human-horse relations. It focuses on finding similarities between the methods, both of which, it is argued, demonstrate the significance of communication in improving human-horse relations. Using interview material, the paper analyzes the practices and beliefs of individuals involved in natural horsemanship. In doing so the paper shows that communication between human and horse works to promote relations between them that are free of conflict. This analysis is offered as a potential “solution” to welfare problems that exist both within competitive dressage practice and within individual human-horse relations. The paper also examines how the fundamental similarities between dressage and natural horsemanship could point to universalized theories of horse training focused on improving human-horse relations.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper examines the rise of what is popularly called "natural horsemanship" (NH), as a definitive cultural change within the horse industry. Practitioners are often evangelical about their methods, portraying NH as a radical departure from traditional methods. In doing so, they create a clear demarcation from the practices and beliefs of the conventional horse-world. Only NH, advocates argue, properly understands the horse. Dissenters, however, contest the benefits to horses as well as the reliance in NH on disputed concepts of the natural. Advocates, furthermore, sought to rename technologies associated with riding while simultaneously condemning technologies used in conventional training (such as whips). These contested differences create boundaries and enact social inclusion and exclusion, which the paper explores. For horses, the impact of NH is ambiguous: Depending on practitioners, effects could be good or bad. However, for the people involved, NH presents a radical change—which they see as offering markedly better ways of relating to horses and a more inclusive social milieu.

Abstract:

Little published information exists on the horses in equine-assisted services (EAS), particularly their selection, longevity, and retirement. The purpose of this study was to characterize horses and procedures used in EAS. A pilot survey was developed using focus group discussions and distributed to Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship, International (PATH Intl) centers in Florida (n = 45, Part I) before further modification and distribution to members of PATH Intl., American Hippotherapy Association (AHA), eagala, and Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) (n = 26,000, Part II). Response rates were 36% (Part I) and 0.7% (Part II). Centers report a median of 10 (Part I) or 9 (Part II) horses and ponies. Selection procedures included initial screening (Part I = 100%, Part II = 96%), pre-purchase or pre-donation exam (I = 64%, II = 60%), acclimation period (I = 100%, II = 84%), trial period (I = 91%, II = 90%), and other (II = 11%). Horses remained active in programs for less than a year to over 20 years with the greatest number working 7–10 (Part I) or 1–6 (Part II) yr. In Part I of the study, behavior (44%) was the leading cause of retirement followed by unsoundness (33%). In Part II, unsoundness was the highest ranked response followed by behavior. Behavior, soundness, and health emerged as key factors in horse selection and retirement. Future work should focus on investigating these issues at an individual horse level.

Abstract:

The application of Palmer’s (1993) theory of teaching to create space applied to equestrian education in Australia provides significant insights into what creating safe spaces for horses and humans to learn together can look like. The praxis of creating space through hospitality in the Australian horsemanship classroom provides the horse and human learning duo with a space where they can navigate the path of their learning journey in a physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually safe learning environment that values creativity.

Abstract This contribution analyses the textual strategies in Danup’s literary dialogue, which is enriched in many ways with literary topoi and rhetorical devices. It is, in fact, a specialised text on the art of horsemanship, which proves to be surprisingly innovative in this regard. However, it is not only relevant to the hippological, but also to the political culture of the early modern period. For the author updates a literary genre pattern, takes up literary traditions and uses aesthetic means for successful self-promotion as an expert.

Abstract:

Using horses as a historical lens, this study examines four components of ritualistic equestrianism in Tudor coronation ceremonies: the King’s Champion, the Gilded Spurs, the Master of the Horse, and the Horse of Honor. These four components remained an essential part of coronation ceremonies during the Tudor era despite significant political, religious, and cultural changes and elevated in status, identity, and symbolism to parallel the rise of horse culture in early modern England. More importantly, these four components underlined the importance of horses and horsemanship to the Crown.

Abstract:

AbstractThis paper explores how horses are represented in the discourses of "natural horsemanship" (NH), an approach to training and handling horses that advocates see as better (kinder, more gentle) than traditional methods. In speaking about their horses, NH enthusiasts move between two registers: On one hand, they use a quasi-scientific narrative, relying on terms and ideas drawn from ethology, to explain the instinctive behavior of horses. Within this mode of narrative, the horse is "other" and must be understood through the human learning to communicate and through appropriate training. On the other hand, NH enthusiasts—like many horse owners—seek to emphasize partnership. In this type of discourse, people portray their horses as almost human. The tensions between these two ways of talking about horses reflect contradictory ideas about control versus freedom in relating to horses, especially as related to emotions expressed by caregivers (owners) about their relationships with horses.

Abstract:

Horse riding movement in Olsztyn voivodeship was initiated by soldiers of Border Protection Troops. Further development took already place in undertaking breeding bussines pedigree breeding centers. Work�place sections were initiated there which with the support of the heads of studs and stallion stations obtained cooperation at the level of sports. However, the official pioneering equestrian competitions were held only in 1951 in Braniewo. The first contest was demonstration of dressage. This competition is widely regarded as the most important in horsemanship, while jumping over obstacles enjoys much greater popularity. Dressage in Warmia and Masuria, due to the lack of tradition and training staff, was practiced by few riders. That is why successes in the national arena appeared only in 1964. Originating from LZS Liski, brothers Antoni, Tomasz and Piotr Pacyńscy and Olympian, Stefan Grodzicki were dominating in the following years.

Abstract:

A key welfare problem for horses is that people commonly fail to recognise, and consequently neglect to resolve, equine behavioural signs of distress, worsening the welfare of the horse and potentially putting the safety of the handler at risk as a result. Members of equestrian Facebook groups were asked to view six videos and assess the horse’s behaviour in each; the authors selected the videos and considered each video to demonstrate behaviour associated with negative affective states. An additional six equine behaviourists also completed the survey as an “expert comparison group” from whom we could define “correct” answers; their responses were consistent with each other and the views of the authors. Although the majority of respondents successfully recognised behaviour indicative of distress in some instances, behaviour associated with negative affective states was commonly missed; videos featuring natural horsemanship and bridle-less riding were particularly interpreted incorrectly to be positive experiences for the horses. Binary logistic regression analysis (72.1% success rate) confirmed that the different video types (ridden dressage, natural horsemanship, in-hand dressage, bridle-less riding, Western reining and behavioural rehabilitation) were strong predictors for obtaining a correct answer (p < 0.01) but that experience of equine-ownership was not. Of the equestrian activities preferred by participants, only proponents of clicker training showed an increased likelihood of obtaining the correct answer (p = 0.05). Even when behavioural signs suggestive of negative affective states were recognised, a minority of respondents stated that they would be happy for their horse to be treated similarly. In conclusion, behavioural signs of equine distress are poorly recognised; they therefore warrant an increased prominence in education and the outreach activity of welfare organisations, in order to reduce equine suffering.

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to highlight the relationship between violence against nonhuman animals and Indigenous peoples and, conversely, to reframe the conversation about horses by positioning horses as teachers and knowers for decolonization. I highlight a theoretical and material tension I name: animal colonialism. Animal colonialism is one interlocking tension that centers the interconnected nature of nonhuman animals and humans. I position horses as “knowers,” and as an entry point to understand interconnected Diné ontologies and simultaneously to interrogate multiple binaries which disconnect and erase Indigenous lifeways. To illuminate the conversation on horses, I use a horse lens to reframe the current conversation about free roaming horses on Navajo Nation. Horses and horse relationality is a form of resistance to animal colonialism because it perpetuates a Diné epistemology of connection, resistance, and healing amidst the violence experienced through animal colonialism.
