From domination to the attempt of communication
an analysis of the initial training methods for equitation
Keywords:
“break the horse”, natural horsemanship, the knight archetype, animal welfareAbstract
The purpose of this article is to offer a broad overview of the initial horse training methods, regarding equitation practiced in western societies, emphasizing the Brazilian context. Both “traditional” and “natural” methodologies are here discussed. To try to understand their current application, it is necessary to be conscious of the history of the human/ horse relationship, from its beginnings to the establishment of modern techniques of natural horsemanship. It is also necessary to recognize the importance of the symbolic construction of the image of the rider for western societies – a model of masculinity, of power and strength, which triumphs over animality – a model that today starts to fall apart.
