dc.description.abstract The horse has been an integral and ubiquitous element in the development of human civilization for centuries . However , in the last 150 years , its presence in and relevance to peoples’ daily routines has waned . What previous cultures used to comprehend and appreciate , modern technology -based routines have rendered nearly obsolete . Consequently , the perception of their legacy has been diminished , their nature misunderstood , and their virtues devalued . However , their immediate presence still affects humans on a visceral level . Through a combination of three multimedia pieces and a written essay , I attempt to reveal various ways in which horses provide man with more than a means of transportation . By examining officers in Austin Police Department’s Mounted Division , an experienced horse trainer , and a licensed therapist who employs horses in her practice , I hope to dispel various misconceptions and reveal the rewards of shared company , beyond the utilitarian functions . Ideally , both parties stand to benefit from a proactive effort on behalf of the viewer to explore and better understand the connective tissue that still binds our two species .
