The patriarchy not only takes form in politics but also in the horse world. Big name trainers are predominantly men while mostly women occupy facilities at the local level. Even in equestrian circus arts women are capped at their physical strength while men have no limits. As a cis woman who rode in jeans and performed "masculine" tricks, here are some of my stories and some ideas to fight the patriarchy in the horse industry. Support women in business; vets, farriers, trainers, etc., don't give a hoot about the gender role traditions, and create a safe space for our allies. Love, your female knight.
