Porovnání aktivity koní v boxovém a aktivním ustájení
PILÍKOVÁ, Darina
Target of this thesis was the analysis of physical activity of different age groups of horses in different types of stabling. GPS trackers attached to the horse's headcollar or forelegs were used to measure the physical activity. A total of 70 observations were made on specimens of the Czech Warmblood, in 3 different age groups (young, middle age, old). At the same time, three diffrent systems of stabling (box + coop, pasture, active housing) were compared. The observation took place during the autumn and winter, in non-extreme environmental conditions. The results data were processed and evaluated using the Statistica.12 program. The comparison of the three different types of stabling proved a difference in horse's physical activity, with horses in boxed housing having walked 3,53 km per day on average, horses in pasture 6,27 km per day, and the most in the active housing, where the daily physical activity across all age groups averages 11,45 km per day. There was also a proved difference in daily activity between the age groups, within all three observed types of stabling. Young horses in boxed housing with access to pasture walked 4,22 km per day on average, after they were transfered to active housing, their daily average activity increased significantly to 13,92 km. Middle aged horses in boxed housing, with access to pasture, and with active housing achieved a daily average of 3,29 km, 6,27 km and 11,57 km, respectively. Observed old horses with boxed housing and a coop traveled 3,07 km on average per day, compared to 8,86 km in active housing. In conclusion, it can be said that the method of housing significantly affects the daily activity of horses, which acts positively on their health condition. According to the results, we can consider the active housing as the most suitable type of stabling, where the horses can realize their natural behavior. When choosing the type of stabling, the breeder needs to take the utilization of the horse into account.

Systém výcviku koní pro práci v lese
PILÍKOVÁ, Darina
The aim of this bachelor thesis was a clear processing of information about breeding, training and partly also the use of cold-blooded horses in the Czech Republic. The reader is briefly acquainted with the cold-blooded breeds of horses bred in the Czech Republic, with the preparation of the horse for work use, upbringing and breeding and with the training system. The successful use of coldblooded horses is based on careful and qualified training during rearing and quality training. Achieved performance is verified in performance tests, which are mostly attended by a three-year-old mare. The breeding of cold-blooded horses has seen a decline in the number of breeders and bred horses, the most popular breed in Czech Republic is the Bohemian- Moravian Belgian horse with a total of 1,966, then the Norik with 1,377 and the least represented is the Silesian Norik with a total of 1,294 horses. Despite the reduction in the number of cold-blooded horses, the excellent and in draught still tested character, calm temperament and willingness to cooperate with humans are the prerequisite for their further successful breeding with possible recreational use. Wide use of these horses in agriculture is not expected in the future, but they remain irreplaceable mainly in forestry, where they cause significantly lower damage than heavy machinery, especially for young forests. Different effects of the horse on the soil surface, which have a significant ecological aspect, are also important.
