However, the relationship between the region and the secondary footing component was highly significant ( χ 2 = 85.4, P -value < 0.001, n = 324, df = 36) ( Figure 6 ).
However, the relationship between the region and the secondary footing component was highly significant ( χ 2 = 85.4, P -value < 0.001, n = 324, df = 36) ( Figure 6 ).
Similar to the relationship with the lighting, the relationship between the age of the arena and the size of the arena were trending towards significance ( χ 2 = 8.2, P -value = 0.08, n = 83, df = 4).
An interesting trend within the fence and flat emphasis and the flat emphasis was the second most common primary footing component was a dirt and sand mixture especially as many dirt surfaces are common for racetracks and in the racing industry, while when mixing with fiber which is common in the sport horse disciplines, sand without dirt or woodchips mixed in is advised ( Lonnell and Hernlund, 2014 ; Hobbs et al., 2015 ).
A possible trend between age of arena and lighting was identified ( Figure 1 ); the P -value for the likelihood ratio of the relationship between age and the lighting within the indoor arena was 0.08 ( χ 2 = 11, n = 81, df = 6).
