Abstract: In a growing number of French regions, local authorities use horses for various projects aimed at making their areas more dynamic (waste collection, public transport, mounted police, maintenance of protected natural sites, etc.). However, these local initiatives are still very scarce and little known. This study, conducted in partnership with the French Institute for Horse and Riding (IFCE) and the National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA), aims to understand the diversity of these regional strategies before a more detailed analysis of some of them. The study is based on an exploratory approach and examines the setting up of these projects, their evolution and their impact. Taking inspiration from works on the sociology of innovation, by Madeleine Akrich, Michel Callon and Bruno Latour, this article highlights the innovative nature of the schemes underway, marked by phases of trial and error in not only the ways for using horses but also in the aims they set out to achieve.
