In recent years, the health and psychological problems of horses that are related to the way of housing are perceived. In the Czech Republic breeders are becoming aware of an active housing system. The result of the work is, based on the acquired knowledge of the natural characteristics and needs of horses, the proposal of a project of an active housing system for twenty horses in the locality of South Bohemia. The technology makes it possible to keep all horses in the system together despite the different feed and movement requirements. With detachable chips attached to the underside of the horse's forelegs, management is set up by the breeder in the software that controls the feed ration and the rate of movement of the housed horse individually. It has been found that the system of active housing is suitable for most breeds and also for the differently exploited individuals. It is not advisable to accommodate the horse with a fine to weak constitution due to the poor adaptability of the external conditions. Acquisition costs for realization according to a concrete project proposal were estimated to be less than CZK 3,000,000. These include, in particular, technology, construction and surface costs. The return is 11 years. List of the most important advantages of the housing system: for horses - natural movement in fresh air, herd social contact, long-term feed intake after small doses reducing the risk of colic, thanks to the variety of surfaces of healthy hooves, strengthens the overall immunity, for horse owners - reduce costs for veterinarians, farms, keeping a horse in good physical condition and psychological well being, for breeders - increasing work efficiency, reducing strenuous manual labor, saving and improving feed utilization.
