This book uses a particular equestrian event (Landsm�ot, the National Championships of the Icelandic Horse) as a case to illustrate various aspects of managing and experiencing sports events, their impacts and their legacies. The remainder of this book is split into six sections, based around the planning, implementation and evaluation of a multispecies event. Each chapter stands alone in terms of offering theoretical and empirical insight on different aspects of multispecies events management, viewed from a range of theoretical and disciplinary perspectives. The book has 17 chapters, a glossary and a subject index.
