Miriah to Speak at Oregon Equestrian Trails State Convention

Posted on February 23, 2012 by admin

Hind view, Injured hamstring. Red is not normal here.

Miriah Stuart, candidate for Veterinary Thermal Technologist (VTTc), will be one of the educational speakers this year at the State Convention for Oregon Equestrian Trails (OET).

This event is happening Saturday, February 25, 2012 at the Yamhill County Fairgrounds in McMinnville, Oregon. 

Speaking times are 2:30-3:30 and 3:45-4:45 pm

We look forward to seeing new faces who are interested in hearing about this exciting new technology.  The presentation will also discuss the Sustainability of your horse’s exercise program.  Is your horse able to hold up?  Do you experience Vet bills for lameness issues?  None of us like those; they cost us money AND TIME, and pain to our animals.  I speak from experience, and truly enjoy sharing this new information.  I am an advocate for the horse, and the infrared camera is my tool of discovery.  “Let’s have a Look.”

Miriah was nominated for “Most Innovative Business of the Year” in 2011 for bringing infrared technology to the barn.

The Herd Takes Care of Its Own

Posted on August 19, 2011 by admin

Healthy herd horses enjoy touch - this conveys comfort and a sense of well being

Here is a link to a great story of a horse who was stabled in a stall, not given paddock or herd experience, and what he does when turned out with a herd.  This horse needs help, and the dominant mare knows what to do.  Its not a quick read, but a great story of herd behavior.  If you haven’t had the honor of seeing this in real life, find a local herd and ask to go watch.  Their social life is very easy to translate into our human experience.  Be open minded when you watch.  A dominant mare, and herd pecking order is invaluable in the society.

I added this comment to the article…

Thank you for this article. I have seen the herd “take care of its own” like this. I also believe deeply that the instinctive dog, sensing something not normal in the seized up horse, was helping to shock it out of its daze. It knew that this horse needed a push, and what animal better than a canine, to do this job for an equine? That’s one of the predator’s positions in the Universe. Having predators will create survival of the fittest. I have every good hope for this horse to recover his instincts, spirit, and equine herd skills. Hooray for a herd of “school board” mares. Aren’t they a crack up?

Presentation for Union Mills Feed Clinic – Sat, Sept 24, 2011

Posted on August 16, 2011 by admin

Miriah will be a presenter at the Annual Union Mills Feed Store – Horse Health Clinic on Saturday, September 24, 2011.  The event starts in Union Mills, Oregon at 11, with Miriah’s Power Point Presentation around noon.  We will be discussing thermal imaging in equine science – how it helps the vets, and finds the pain in the horses.

Right side of horse, immediately after saddle removed.

We will also be discussing saddle fitting, since this is a favorite topic of most riders.

Bring your questions, and your curiosity.  I love an eager audience, and this annual event brings wonderful horse owners out to learn and enjoy the speakers.

Any question, call Union Mills Feed Store, 503-829-2386.  This is a free event.  All are welcome.  Call Miriah at 503-980-8739 with questions about saddle fitting or thermography for animals.

Left side of same horse. Notice the differences in the two images.

Looking at the two images on this page, it is very obvious to me that the horse is experiencing an unbalanced rider.  Why does this saddle not fit?  Why does this rider sit uneven?  How can we improve our riding and saddling so that the horse has a better (pain free) exercise session.

These questions are very important to me, and thermal imaging helps me show riders the story of their horse’s back.

If you would like to have a clinic at your barn, contact me – 503-980-8739.  I love to educate with what has been taught to me.
