Resumen

La ancestralidad de los métodos, las técnicas y los equipos utilizados en la equitación és motivo de preocupación para los protegidos por el bienestar animal. Por lo general, cuando se buscam referencias antiguas en la literatura, estas están en desacuerdo con este tema. Jenofonte, criticado y venerado por muchos, fue el famoso autor de uno de los primeros tratados sobre equitación de la historia. En su obra titulada Peri Hippikes, Jenofonte abordó varios temas relacionados con el caballo, pero reveló uma perspectiva que ya enfatizaba las buenas relaciones humano-caballo, más comunes hoy en día en un período en el que estas relaciones eran bastante violentas y estandarizadas. En este trabajo, se detectaron siete pasos de su obra, enfocando el tema del entrenamiento, con la literatura científica contemporânea, discutiendo si Jenofonte estaba en lo cierto o no en sus afirmaciones basadas en conceptos de bienestar animal en las relaciones hombre-caballo.
