Increased leisure time, education and values associated with wellbeing in post-modern society have incorporated animals into various leisure activities enabling close encounters with humans ( Franklin 1999 ). This chapter focuses on human-equine relations through leisure integration. For many, horses have become a valuable part of human daily lives ( Dashper 2017 ). The post-humanist approach towards human-equine relations enables humans to look beyond themselves, respecting ‘other’ species as individuals. Empirical findings unravel the myriad ways that human-equine lives are entwined through leisure encounters. Some humans invest considerable finances and leisure time interacting with horses, whereby relations become mutually dependent.
