This book examines discriminations against horses in the literature and culture of the long eighteenth century alongside changing animal welfare and anticruelty activism. In doing so, it challenges period conceptions of what horses should look and behave like alongside systemic prejudice and normalized violence towards those who did not conform. It likewise follows literary discourses that sought to improve the lives and perceptions of horses with disabilities or those considered unideal in some way during a period of exploitative early capitalism.
