Abstract
Images of the Compton Cowboys, Houston’s Nonstop Riders, and other horseback riding Black protesters went viral in early June. Riding through the streets after George Floyd’s murder, they subverted the old narrative that horses carry mounted police high above Black pedestrians. Instead, we saw horses uplifting Black people.
