  • Interaction Between Rider, Horse and Equestrian Trainer – a Challenging Puzzle
    Interaction Between Rider, Horse and Equestrian Trainer – a challenging puzzle Mari Zetterqvist Blokhuis SÖDERTÖRN DOCTORAL DISSERTATIONS Interaction Between Rider, Horse and Equestrian Trainer – A Challenging Puzzle Mari Zetterqvist Blokhuis Södertörns högskola Subject: Theory of Practical Knowledge Research Area: Critical and Cultural Theory School: Culture and Education Södertörns högskola (Södertörn University) The Library SE-141 89 Huddinge www.sh.se/publications © Mari Zetterqvist Blokhuis Cover image: Kajsa af Klercker ©2019 Cover layout: Jonathan Robson Graphic form: Per Lindblom & Jonathan Robson Printed by Elanders, Stockholm 2019 Södertörn Doctoral Dissertations 162 ISSN 1652–7399 ISBN 978-91-88663-63-4 (print) ISBN 978-91-88663-64-1 (digital) Abstract This thesis examines the complex and challenging relationships between rider, horse and equestrian trainer in the context of teaching horse riding. By the end of last century, people began to question the prevailing view that animals are inferior to humans, and thus a re-examination of existing relationships between humans and animals has been sought. An immediate outcome of this critical undertaking has been the raising of ethical questions regarding the involvement of animals in sports. As part of this, the discipline of sports dressage has been subject to heavy cri- ticism. Today, within both contemporary theoretical discourses and equestrian practices, greater focus is placed on the horse’s own subjectivity, along with its own field of experiences and its own perspective. Due to this, it is possible to index how it is that: traditional equestrian cultures are today in transition. At least in Europe, the development of teaching in riding has its roots in tradi- tional military discourse, which assumed the horse to be an instrument rather than a sensitive, feeling animal, and therefore considered the horse to be under the com- mand of the rider.

  • GALILEO FILLY LIGHTS up by Emma Berry BOOK 1 CLOSER It Has Been Quite the Year for Shamardal
    FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11 2019 PINATUBO: A CHAMPION IN THE MAKING GALILEO FILLY LIGHTS UP By Emma Berry BOOK 1 CLOSER It has been quite the year for Shamardal. Not only has he been represented by G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains winner Castle Lady (Ire) and the two Royal Ascot victories in five days of Blue Point (Ire) but, portentously for next year's Classics, he is the sire of three unbeaten Group 1-winning juveniles: Pinatubo (Ire), Earthlight (Ire) and Victor Ludorum (GB). The trio emanates from a crop of just 82 foals in 2017. While Earthlight has already won twice at the highest level for Andre Fabre, and his stablemate Victor Ludorum added the G1 Qatar Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere to the list on Sunday, it is the Charlie Appleby-trained Pinatubo who heads the ratings for all European juveniles and has sent correspondents scrabbling for superlatives.
