description Worked horses and working horses, some thoughts on the notion of work in the equestrian world. Looking back over the history of the word ‘work’ in the French language, this paper proposes an enlarged appreciation of the working relationship between men and horses, relationships that cannot be reduced only to productive and working activities.
