Abstract

This paper addresses the use of on-body sensors for tracking and monitoring Retuerta wild horses (one of the oldest horse breeds in Europe) over a 12-month period in the Doñana National Park, Andalusia, Spain. The challenges are outlined and the design of the Prospeckz-5 platform, which is used in both the sensor node on the horses and in the base stations for gathering data, is described. Results are presented for tests on the performance of the antenna and the solar cell array charger ahead of deployment on the horses in Spain.
