Measurements were obtained of: head width and length 22.09 (± 0.98) cm and 54.29 (± 3.03) cm respectively; height at the withers and croup 134.00 (± 6.73) cm and 133.16 (± 6.29) cm in their order; croup length and width 48.54 (± 5.03) cm and 44.89 (± 4.05) cm correspondingly; diameters longitudinal (34.68 ± 3.54 cm), dorso-sternal (134.81 ± 6.61 cm), bicostal (34.68 ± 3.54 cm); thoracic girth (148.15 ± 10.64 cm) and shaft perimeter (16.91 ± 1.11 cm). It was identical to most of the animals studied (horses and mares) were dolichocephalic, longilinear, dolichothoracic, dolichomorphic, brachypelvic, of long and high proportionality; although most of the males are high metacarpal correlation animals, while the females present low metacarpal correlation. The chromohypological variables show that the chestnut layer stands out with 28.67%, 50.67% wore black helmets, 87.00% with a rectilinear head profile, 88.00% pyramidal cervical profile, 99 normal back-lumbar profile, 00% and normal ventral profile 71.00%. The results allow to conclude that the studied population maintains an important similarity with those analyzed in other cantons of Manabí and the Ecuadorian Sierra. |
