Horses selectively graze short patches of high nutritive value.

Selective grazing allows horses to maintain performance at a moderate stocking rate.

Horses create and maintain sward structural heterogeneity whatever stocking rate.

Decreasing grazing intensity has little benefit on grassland biodiversity.
