Okay guys, so today we will graph everything, with all of our data from the other day.
What if I keep a score of who wins the most events.
At the end we can look at it, and whoever won the most events or got the best score out of them, that horse would be the horse that we would pick for you?
Yeah!
Oh, so it depends on which one wins the heart rate?
(Amanda) For the water cup, it was proven that Gammon had the most water left in the cup, which is saying that he had the smoothest gaits.
(Morgan) So we can say that Gammon won that one?
(Amanda) Yeah, we could safely say Gammon won this one.
(Izzie) One for Gammon!
(Madeleine) This is the conformation we did with the front, middle, and back of the parts of the horse.
(Amanda) I think it's safe to say out of these 3 horses that Penny was overall the most balanced.
And also she had the best conformation.
(Izzie) One for Penny!
My graph will show their angle and stride length.
Overall, Justin was the highest point, and Penny was the lowest.
So I think Justin did win this event.
(Izzie) And one for Justin.
I did the recovery heart rate.
If you look at this one, Gammon kind of won by a lot here.
But if it's how quickly they return to normal, then Penny won.
Madeleine did kind of seem a little bit biased and picked up some information we really hadn't been measuring much of, and just kind of like well, Penny won this.
We have to ask Liz because if it drops quickest, then...?
(Amanda) Penny lost!
(Madeleine) No she didn't lose, she tied.
Penny lost.
(Amanda) I think she was scared of Gammon because he's kind of big, and he also likes to test you to see like, before you get on if you or him are the boss.
Part of the reason I pushed the heart rate chart was because then Penny would have won that one, and then Gammon and Penny would have had 2 to 2 and then tied!
It was nice to have Zoe, Amanda, and Morgan because I was biased.
♪ ♪ I wanted Penny to win.
And so I'd say something and they'd have this weird look on their face and be like, I don't think that's right.
Because some of the stuff I'd say, I'd be kind of like yeah, that's right, isn't it?
And it wasn't.
But they caught me all the time.
They were really good at catching me.
Then I was more scientific.
So Gammon won with 2 points.
Scientifically, Gammon is the best horse to use for egg and spoon.
