Lameness assessment: Boxplot graphs were applied when data were not normally distributed, and the best measure of central tendency was the median. The scores were obtained after the lameness evaluation using the American Association of Equine Practitioners lameness scale (AAEP) and analysis using the motion sensor (Lameness Locator), at times T0 to T4, for the control group (GC) and treated group (GT). The boxes represent data variability. The bottom of the box corresponds to the point of 25% of the sample, the top of the box corresponds to the point of 75% of the sample, and the line inside corresponds to the median (point that divides the sample by 50%, in the center of distribution). *Presence of outliers, there was statistical difference between groups at T4 (p < 0.05)
