    • Data on behavior of adult horses and burros between 2016 and 2020, in Utah and Arizona, USA

    Metadata Updated: July 20, 2024

    We investigated the behavior of feral horses (Equus caballus) at Conger Herd Management Area (HMA), UT, and of burros (Equus asinus) at Lake Pleasant HMA, AZ, and Sinbad HMA, UT between 2016 and 2020 (Sinbad HMA 2016 to 2019; Conger and Lake Pleasant HMAs 2017 to 2020). We collected data on the time budget and social behavior of adults (2 years old and older) between April and September annually in Utah, and year-round in Arizona. We also collected data on group composition year-round at Conger, Lake Pleasant, and Sinbad HMAs with the addition of Frisco HMA (horses; UT) in order to derive social network metrics. This dataset includes three .csv files: Horse_burro_all_occurrence_data_2016_2020.csv - frequency per hour of all occurrence behaviors expressed by individual horses (Conger HMA, UT) and burros (Lake Pleasant HMA, AZ, and Sinbad HMA, UT). Horse_burro_time_budget_data_2016_2020.csv - frequency per hour of all maintenance behaviors of individual horses (Conger HMA, UT) and burros (Lake Pleasant HMA, AZ, and Sinbad HMA, UT). Horse_burro_network_metrics_2016_2020.csv - social network metrics of horse (Conger and Frisco HMAs, UT) and burro (Lake Pleasant HMA, AZ, and Sinbad HMA, UT) populations per season.
