A fascinating interspecies relationship can be seen among the horse breeding pastoralists in the Altai and Saian Mountains of Inner Asia. Victoria Soyan Peemot herself grew up in a community with close human-horse relationships and uses her knowledge of the local language and horsemanship practices. Building upon Indigenous research epistemologies, she engages with the study of how the human-horse relationships interact with each other, experience injustices and develop resilience strategies as multispecies unions.

“Peemot provides the reader with one of the first and finest Indigenous-authored scholarly accounts of Tyvan horse-human relations in the English language. Her insight into historical and contemporary roles of horses in the Altai-Saian Region of South Siberia represents a treasure trove of relational examples for anyone willing to re-think a Euro-centric humanistic approach to animals.&rdqou; • Alex Oehler, University of Regina
