Dear supporters,
it took a while due to problems with test producing companies and internal lab problems but two weeks ago we finally received results! At this point they are only pages of numbers but we have started now in the statistical evaluation phase. This might be the most interesting but also time consuming phase. We expect to have final statements by the end of the year.
Release of the first scientific paper
The first official result of your support is finally out there!
Please visit Frontiers and read my open access paper named "Age and Hydration of competing horses influence the outcome of Elite 160 km endurance rides"

Thank you all for making this project possible!
