Seasonal foods and habitat use of Pantaneiro horses were determined in two Pantanal
sub-regions: Nhecolandia (March 1990 to February 1991) and Abobral (December 1993 to October 1995). In both sub-regions, a direct pasture observation method was used in two
daily sessions (morning andf afternoon). The forage plants eaten and habitat occupied by animals were recorded every five minutes. Habitat use for feeding was determined using 
the percentage of all observations which were recorded in the landscape unit 'i' (Ui). Pan-
taneiro horses exhibited a selective grazing habitat which varied seasonally and spatially.
This must be taken into consideration for range and breed management and conservation
strategies. The herd was apparently healthy during all study period, indicating adaptability
to the Pantanal rangeland.
