In 1973, a herd of Camargue horses was released into a nature
reserve in the Rhone delta of France. The comprehensive long-term
study of the resulting population eruption provided the opportunity
for a unique analysis of the feeding ecology of free-ranging
horses. Horses and Grasses summarizes the study covering digestive
physiology, behavior, growth, and demography of wild horses and
zebras. It examines how these equids are affected by variations in
abundance and quality of grasses and in turn, how grazing affects
the plant communities. The book also provides insight into the
consequences of the hind-gut fermentation system for equid behavior
and ecology and contrasts this feeding strategy with that of the
recently evolved, highly successful grazing bovids.
