MORENO ORTIZ, María del Carmen Raquel. Human-Equine Coexistence in Mexico City Through Police Edicts. 18th and Early 19th Centuries. Estud. hist. mod. contemp. Mex [online]. 2025, n.70, pp.5-33.  Epub 04-Jul-2025. ISSN 0185-2620.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iih.24485004e.2025.70.77993.

The aim of this article is to describe the coexistence between humans and equids in Mexico City in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The research identifies several issues that arose from sharing urban space, as well as the solutions proposed by the police authorities through edicts of good governance. The findings revealed that, in order for humans and equids to cohabit, surveillance and regulatory measures governing daily life were required. Furthermore, although dominated by humans and regarded as inferior beings, equines influenced history, as the functioning of the city depended on considering their needs and including them in urban planning.
