Sample text

Analogies between animals and machines were already well established in Western culture. The mechanical clocks of the thirteenth century and the mechanical philosophy of René Descartes in the sixteenth century promoted a new view of the relationship between living creatures and their environment. Descartes argued that animals were not simply like machines, but were machines, and their actions could all be explained mechanically. By the nineteenth century, the Enlightenment concept of a mechanistic nature governed by universal laws seemed fulfilled in a world of growing mechanization, where human artifice could replicate and improve upon the machinery of the natural world.

This sequence triggers the release of the elastic bicep (similar to that found in a grasshopper) that helps shoot the leg forward. At the same time, the joints, muscles, ligaments, and tendons act as springs, not only absorbing impact but also releasing kinetic energy that further enhances the pendulum effect. The shoulder and hip joints also augment the pendulum motion by allowing the legs to move back-and-forth in only a single plane. 18 h o r se s at w o r k This restriction gives the horse maximum leg extension, not only lengthening its stride, one component of speed, but also, and just as important, shortening the stride interval, or the speed with which the leg snaps forward and is pulled/swings back.

In the working relationship between humans and horses, the social temperament of the horse, its attention to hierarchy, and its responsiveness to humans con- w hy h o rse s 27 tributed to Americans’ general preference for them as working partners. In the context of nineteenth-century industrialization, the physical qualities of the equine machine, the social attributes of horses, and the long history of horse-human relations acquired new value. The conviction that American prosperity and democracy depended on high energy consumption, together with the continuing importance of animal power, increased the use of horses as prime movers.
