Syftet med Thérèse Waerners avhandlingsprojekt, som resulterade i doktorsavhandlingen Unga ryttares rätt till delaktighet: En villkorad rättighet? (GIH), var att undersöka och analysera villkoren för unga ryttare att utöva sina rättigheter att vara delaktiga och göra sin röst hörd. Gabriella Torell Palmquist är alltigenom positiv till Waerners studie; ridsporten har på flera plan en unik struktur och kultur vilket gör att den inte alltid är lika lättillgänglig för idrottsforskare som andra idrotter, men med författarens dubbla roll som forskare och erfaren ridlärare erbjuder studien en fördjupad bild av ungas situation inom ridsporten.

Hästnäringen påverkar miljön genom exempelvis sitt beroende av transporter, konsumtion av foder, produktion av gödsel och sopor samt behov av energi. I denna artikel av Susanna Hedenborg och kolleger utforskas och analyseras hur aktörer inom hästnäringen förhåller sig till transportberoendet. Resultaten presenteras som fem berättelser om hur personer med olika roller i näringen förhåller sig till transportbehovet. Näringens kunskapsbehov ser olika ut för olika grupper, och möjligheterna att förändra näringen är delvis beroende av andra aktörers handlingar.

The horse industry affects the environment through, for example, its dependence on transport, consumption of feed, production of manure and waste, and energy needs. This article by Susanna Hedenborg and colleagues explores and analyses how actors in the horse industry relate to transport dependence. The results are presented as five stories about how people with different roles in the industry relate to transport needs. The industry's needs for knowledge differ for different groups, and the opportunities to change the industry are partly dependent on the actions of other actors.
