Mounted police units around the world have entered social media, with the aim of bringing the police closer to the public. In this paper, I analyze the Facebook page of the mounted police in the city of Helsinki, the capital of Finland. I ask how equine agency, animal work, interspecies care, and the relational networks of memory are interpreted, communicated, and performed on social media, contributing to the co-production of urban imaginaries. I approach the material as performances of animality and human–animal relations, concentrating on shared interpretations and representations of the horses and their agency. To be able to analyze human–animal encounters and interaction in urban space as they are experienced, imagined, remembered, and collectively shared, I suggest a novel concept of multispecies urban imaginary. Developing the concept widens the focus of understanding the multispecies nature of urban environments and includes animals in the experiences and perceptions of city space – where they belong.

世界各地的骑警单位已进入社交媒体，目的是使警察更接近公众。在本文中，我分析了芬兰首都赫尔辛基市骑警的Facebook页面。我想问一下，在社会媒体上如何解释，交流和执行马的代理，动物工作，种间照料和关系的记忆网络，从而为城市想象者的共同创作做出了贡献。我将这些材料视为动物和人与动物之间关系的表现，着重于对马及其代理的共同解释和表述。为了能够分析人与动物在城市空间中的经历，想象，记忆和集体共享时的接触和互动，我提出了一种多物种城市想象中的新颖概念。
