This incluces Complete Thermal Examination and Digital Report of 50 images of your horse, with Apparent Thermal Abnormalities Reported, e-mailed for you and your vet.

Also includes body work tips & suggestions for your horse.

I take approximately 50 digital images – including every joint on every limb from all four views, neck, back, shoulders, stifles, hocks, hamstrings, bottoms of the hooves – everything.  These images are taken from 3-5 feet away from your horse.  This is completely non-contact.  If there is inflammation, the camera shows it.  If there is nerve impingement, the camera shows it.  The FLIR T-300 infrared camera detects temperature differences of one tenth of one degree Fahrenheit.

I will also tell you what “normal” and “not normal” thermal patterns are for the horse.

Excessive heat in the hind leg - not a normal thermal pattern

Also included is a consultation about the sustainability of your horse’s exercise program, based on the infrared images of tendons & ligaments.

If your horse’s exercise program was not sustainable, would you want to know?

I have been studying equine anatomy and equine exercise physiology since 2002.  I also have been trained in saddle fitting by Kerry Ridgway DVM of South Carolina.  Saddle fitting is very important to me, and I address it with every horse – if the back or withers are sore, we look at the saddle.

Especially satisfying for me is the case of the mystery lameness.  These images can be e-mailed to the owner and the vet, which assists the vet in determining where to take x-rays or ultrasound images so that a diagnosis can be achieved.

I never diagnose – I wouldn’t dream of it.  Our vets have a challenge every time we present an injured horse to them.  They are trained for this, and no one else should ever attempt it.  Thermography is a valuable discovery tool in the process.  It answers the “where” questions.
