This study focuses on the meaning of equine related sports- and leisure activities in the life of persons (children, young and adults) with intellectual disabilities (ID). Regarding equine related activities aimed at people with disabilities people with ID is the largest group who take part in such activities. Research on the topic not focusing on (re)habilitation is scarce. Combining methods and theories from disability research, interaction research and ethnography, this study will shed light also on the experiences of participating leaders/instructors, accompanying support providers and horses. We also have an interest in the wider meaning of participating in equine related activities in the lives of persons with ID. Participation, self-determination and inclusion are concepts guiding the inquiry. The results have the potential to improve education about and service delivery for persons with ID as well as the economy of the equine industry
Fokus för studien ligger på betydelsen av hästrelaterade sport- och fritidsaktiviteter för personer (barn, ungdomar och vuxna) med intellektuella funktionsnedsättningar (IF). När det gäller hästrelaterade aktiviteter riktade till personer med funktionsnedsättning så är gruppen personer med IF störst. Genom att kombinera metoder och teorier från funktionshinderforskning, interaktionsforskning och etnografi undersöker studien också hur ledare/instruktörer, assistenter/medhjälpare och hästar upplever arbetet med och för personer med IF i dessa aktiviteter. Vi är även intresserade deltagandets betydelse i livet i vidare mening för personer med IF. Delaktighet, självbestämmande och inklusion är begrepp som ligger till grund för studien, som öppnar upp ett tidigare närmast outforskat fält. Resultaten kan därmed bidra till hästnäringens utbildning och arbete inom området och därmed till en mer uthållig ekonomi hos dem som erbjuder tjänster till personer med IF.
