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.)

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 th

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 regis

This thesis investigates the ethical work British horse riders conduct in order to know their horses well. This ethical imperative emerges out of a changing equestrian context. A broadening socio-economic demographic of equestrian participants, with an increasingly female population, moves equestrianism further away from its military and elitist heritage, and towards more 'one-horse owners' who nurture the ideal of close, companionable, 'partnerships' with their horses. At the same time, an increasing number of options for horse care and riding style instil the owner with responsibility to act
