Abstract
This paper examines a particular social practice that attracted attention from visitors to the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Caribbean: enslaved footmen accompanying white riders on horseback, often seeking to keep up by holding onto the horses’ tails. Referred to here as ‘master-horse-slave’, this is interpreted as a ‘hybrid co-mobility’ (or co-present mobility involving humans and animals). The paper argues that master-horse-slave was a manifestation of slavery as everyday social practice. More broadly, the paper argues for the importance of practices of mobility as significant features of Caribbean slave societies and the place of animals in these.
