Photos from Liz Tobey Posted to Gallery

Dear Everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I am in the process of uploading my photos onto the photo gallery on the blogsite. These include photos from the conference and our dinner at Il Forno, photos from the party at Sara's, and the walk through Richmond Park. I am also uploading photos from the trip to Epsom.

If anyone would like a CD with my photos on them, please send me an email at etobey@nsl.org and give me a mailing address to which to send the CD.

It was great meeting everyone, and thanks to Ian for setting up this site so that we can all stay in touch.

Best,
Liz

Shameless self-promotion

It's great to see so many people getting involved in this blog (I know that's a horrible word, but it's what we call a site like this). I just want to get all smug and self-satisfied about the fact that I've been doing it for years. I started my blog, pretentiously titled Investigations of a Dog, in 2006. It covers my research interests in horses and military history, and all kinds of other things, so there should be plenty to interest people here. In future I might cross-post horse stuff that would be relevant here, but for now you can explore my archives. In the sidebar of my site there's a cloud of keywords (eg horses, cavalry), and clicking on one of them will bring up all the posts tagged with that word.

Some things which people might find particularly useful:

My Social-Political Animals paper. Not just about horses, but suggests a more materialist approach to bringing the non-human into early-modern social history.

A whole series of posts on cavalry charges. Say no to equine battering rams!

Somewhere there are also some tentative thoughts on the gendering of war horses, although I've changed my mind about a lot of it since then. The points Erica raised about horse clothes might change things even more. It's probably about time I wrote something new on this to see where I've got to. I've been thinking about it for 3 years but I'm still not entirely sure what questions I should be asking, let alone how to answer them.

Here's a link to a site with photos. Please add more to the site if you have them (by email or by clicking the upload button). You can download photos too.

Here's the website for the 2010 World Equestrian Games. Don't forget that the Museum of the Horse (at the park) will be having a major exhibition during the games on the the horse in the Arab world.
