Horses are a common non-human animal featured in planned events, yet research on equestrian sport is limited compared to events. This book aims to bridge this gap by examining the management of the National Championships of the Icelandic Horse, providing insights into the process and theoretical implications of event management. Drawing from diverse viewpoints and theoretical perspectives, the book compares events management to broader social sciences themes such as human-animal relations, nationalism, place branding, event impacts, event experience, and inclusion and exclusion. The book contributes to two fields: human-animal studies, focusing on the marketing and celebration of the Icelandic horse breed through top-tier competition, and events management, exploring the role of events in community building, sustainable event management, and multispecies event contexts. Conducted by a multinational team of events management and tourism researchers, the book offers valuable insights for researchers, industry professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of events, human-animal relations, and tourism.
