Walking on paved streets is more damaging to their bodies than being in fields.
The heat island effect and lack of shade is not good for them and neither is all the exhaust.

The paved street thing makes total sense.
But the heat issue? Don’t wild horses naturally live in super hot areas, like South Carolina for example?
Any yes to exhaust, that shit ain’t good for anyone.

Sure but the asphalt gets really hot and although they don't have the same issue dogs have because they have hooves instead of paws, it still isn't good for them as the entire area gets hotter
