Bronchoalveolar lavages differential cell count.

Group	Neutrophils % Median: Range (Horses >5%)	Mast Cells % Median: Range (Horses ≥2%)	Eosinophils % Median: Range (Horses ≥1%)
Non‐IAD	3:1–5 (0)	1: 0–1 (0)	0:0–0 (0)
IAD	7:1–19 (12)	2: 0–3 (14)	0:0–5 (3)

Non‐IAD: Exercise intolerant horses without inflammatory airway disease (n = 10). IAD: Exercise intolerant horses with inflammatory airway disease (n = 21). Neutrophils %: percentage of neutrophils. Horses >5%: number of horses with percentage of neutrophils above 5%. Same for other cell types.
