Implication

Observational study reveals climatic conditions significantly affect behavioral activity and productivity of herd horses, suggesting improved pasture management strategies.

Key Points

Extreme weather notably decreases locomotor activity and increases rest duration among herd horses.
In summer, horses traveled less and rested more, while in winter, they sought forage more intensively up to 12,500 m/day.
Horses covering longer distances exhibited reduced milk yield, highlighting the effect of climatic conditions on productivity.
The findings support the implementation of seasonal pasture rotation and GPS-based management to improve horse welfare.
