Title of the work : Motivation of the equitation Aim of the work: The goal of this work was to get to know the deep recognition of the motivation of people practising the equitation. We tried to find out not only what kind of people are interested in the equitation but also what are their reasons to take up this activity and finally an answer the question why it became their life philosophy forever. We can ask the question: " What is the real motivation of these people coming back every day to the stable to devote their entire energies to this physically and mentally demanded activity with a very uncertain result?" Methods of processing data : This work is based on the empirical methods of the scientific research as well as the content analysis of the relevant literature together with the officials Internet websites. I have chosen for my work the method of questionnaire investigation/examination/ combined with dialogues. The results were compiled in stats using Excel programme. Key words: Motivation, equitation, interests, needs, interspecies relationship Results: The results of exploration point out that the most important motivation for the horsemen being interviewed is the relationship with a horse, it means with a representative of the different animal species. Apart from this, another...

Para tanto, analisou-se as práticas de educação de famílias associadas ao clube mais seletivo, em termos econômicos, de uma grande cidade do interior de São Paulo. Foram focalizados, particularmente, os filhos envolvidos no curso de equitação e nas atividades competitivas realizadas pelo departamento de hipismo. O trabalho de campo consistiu na realização de observações tanto das aulas, quanto das provas realizadas no clube e entrevistas aprofundadas e semi-estruturadas com mães, pais e filhos e, também, alguns funcionários. O clube é visto, neste trabalho, como um dos lugares onde os associados parecem estar "entre si" e onde suas crianças podem ser expostas à aprendizagem dos valores, modos de vida, sensibilidades, habilidades, percepções próprias ao grupo social a que são destinadas a pertencer. Os resultados mostram como as experiências educativas, incluindo a passagem por esse "esporte de elite", contribuem para a constituição de uma maneira de perceber a si e aos outros que pode estar diretamente ou não relacionada às formas concretas de agir sobre o espaço social à sua volta. / Abstract: This research investigates the processes involved in the formation of social boundaries in high income families in relation to other groups and how these boundaries are maintained over the course of time. The educational practices of families associated with the most selective club, in economic terms, of a large city in the interior of the state of Sao Paulo were analysed. In particular, the research focused on the children involved in the horsemanship/equitation course and on the competitive activities carried out by the horsemanship/equitation department. The field work consisted of observations of the classes, as well as of the tests applied in the club and of extensive and semi-structured interviews with mothers, fathers, children and also with some of the staff. The club is seen in this study as one of the places where the associates seem to be among their peers, and where their children can be exposed to the learning of the values, life styles, sensibilities, skills, perceptions appropriate to the social group they are destined to be affiliated with. The results show how the educational experiences, including the passage through this "elite sport", contribute to the constitution of a way to perceive oneself and others, that may be or may not be directly related to the concrete forms of acting on the social environment. / Mestrado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

Because of the lack in the research field, the investigator undertook a comparative study of the administration and conduct of an equitation program in girls' private summer camps of northern and northeastern states and of Texas.

Le monde équin offre une palette de situations variées mettant en scène aussi bien un profane, ignorant tout du cheval lors d'une promenade à l'extérieur, qu'un driver durant une séance d'entraînement ou un enfant mordu par le poney d'un voisin. Le cheval est réutilisé au travail, comme le transport de personnes, mais aussi pour la réinsertion sociale ou en thérapie pour les personnes handicapées. Les réactions imprévisibles des équidés font que ces activités sont qualifiées d'accidentogènes. Le contact avec des équidés comporte des risques élevés de chutes, inhérents à ces pratiques. Un constat s'impose: l'indemnisation des victimes est au coeur des préoccupations de notre société. La victime touchée dans sa chair ne peut choisir librement le fondement de son action; le principe du non-cumul exige l'application des règles de la responsabilité contractuelle lorsqu'il existe un contrat. La frontière entre ces deux branches constitue parfois un frein à une meilleure indemnisation pour les victimes. Au vu de la judiciarisation constante, il est souhaitable de proposer certaines solutions pour améliorer les conditions et les effets respectifs de chacune des deux branches de la responsabilité civile; on peut renforcer l'intensité de l'obligation de sécurité, le respect de la volonté contractuelle des parties dans un contrat équin tout en cherchant à responsabiliser les acteurs du monde du cheval afin de mettre en valeur leur fonction préventive, sans exclure la théorie de l'acceptation des risques afin que la liberté de « jouer » survive en droit du sport! / The equestrian world offers a large range of activities which may sees the involvement of different persons: a profane ignoring the intrinsic nature of the animal during an outside ride from the equestrian centre under instructor control, a driver during training or a kid bitten by neighbor's pony. Horses are used for work not only for community tasks such as transportation but also for social reinsertion to help people in need or also as a therapy for persons with motor disabilities. Having contact with horses involves a high degree of risk due to the possibility of failing. Therefore, litigation in field of civil liability is constantly growing. Compensation is in the heart of society's concerns. The optimization of the compensation incurred during the sports or leisure's activities must be underlined. Victims cannot freely choose their legal recourse. Indeed, the "none option principal" implies the application of the liability rules when a contract is existing and the application of the tortious liability when no contract is existing. The separation between both liabilities is often an obstacle for improved compensation for victims. Regarding the constant increase of litigation in this field, solutions should be offered to improve the conditions and the effects of the two branches of civil liability mainly by reinforcing the security obligations in several activities and the considerations of the parties intentions involved in an equestrian agreement while searching the liabilities of the parties in order to highlight preventative measures and not to exclude the risk theory to keep the freedom of play in sports regulations area.
