The application of Palmer’s (1993) theory of teaching to create space applied to equestrian education in Australia provides significant insights into what creating safe spaces for horses and humans to learn together can look like. The praxis of creating space through hospitality in the Australian horsemanship classroom provides the horse and human learning duo with a space where they can navigate the path of their learning journey in a physically, emotionally, spiritually and intellectually safe learning environment that values creativity.
