Eleven wild horses arrived from Exmoor, England, in the Podyji National Park in south Moravia today, on Thursday, May 10, 2018, to graze on local heathlands and prevent the undesired spread of invasive plants. The horses arrived in a special transport, covering the distance of over 1,700 kilometres. They were divided into two herds of five and six heads, each of which has been released in a different locality within the Podyji National Park that spreads along the Dyje (Thaya), a border river between South Moravia and Lower Austria. The horses are to maintain an area of about 70 hectares. Wild
