<p><strong>R&eacute;sum&eacute; :</strong></p> <p>Le cheval accompagne l&rsquo;&eacute;volution des hommes depuis sa domestication. L&rsquo;animal participe aux transports, il sert &agrave; la guerre et dans les champs. Il s&rsquo;illustre dans les arts et la chevalerie. Ce contact imm&eacute;morial inscrit l&rsquo;homme et le cheval au sein d&rsquo;une exp&eacute;rience charnelle. L&rsquo;animal est ainsi reconnu comme une source de socialisation et d&rsquo;&eacute;panouissement pour les hommes. Cependant il interroge simultan&eacute;ment nos conditions d&rsquo;existence r&eacute;ciproques, r&eacute;pondant aux enjeux soulev&eacute;s par les humanit&eacute;s environnementales.&nbsp; Comment d&eacute;passer le cadre d&rsquo;une pens&eacute;e utilitaire qui enferme le vivant-cheval ? Une des propositions consiste &agrave; interroger la m&eacute;diation &eacute;quine comme &eacute;tant capable de promouvoir les relations inter-esp&egrave;ces.</p> <p><strong>Abstract :</strong></p> <p>The horse is endowed a force of resistance and a powerful imagination. It is a part of human culture. The animal offers us an experience that allows us to remain attentive to the diversity of life forms and situations.In this context the horse is recognized as a bearer of benefits, especially during socializing perspectives. Horses are the heart of considerations that affect our living conditions and respond to the issues raised by the environmental humanities. We have chosen to consider the care relationship in equine therapy. It appeals to the vulnerability of humans and animals by considering their condition and the resulting receptive capacities.</p>
