Association of morphometric measurements with rump fat in jumping horses in an equestrian school in Bogotá
The study aimed to determine the relationship of morphometric measurements and body fattening measured by ultrasound in jumping horses at an equestrian school in Bogotá. Adult male jumping horses in training, mixed breed of Argentine and Colombian Creole (n = 9), were measured. The analyzed measurem...

Adult male jumping horses in training, mixed breed of Argentine and Colombian Creole (n = 9), were measured.

To estimate fattening, body mass index (based on morphometric measurements) and body fat percentage (based on fat measurements by ultrasound) were calculated. Descriptive statistics and principal component analysis were performed.
