Since animals cannot speak, it has been very difficult for caretakers and owners to truly identify hidden or masked conditions.  Before Equine Thermography, veterinarians could only locate a  horse’s health problem with observation or palpation but with equine thermography, an abnormality can show tissue that’s stressed before the affected tissue becomes damaged.

As the Horse Owner you can stop guessing and start knowing!

How might this be used:

• Pre-Race Imaging
• Pre-Showing Imaging
• Pre-Purchase Imaging
• Hoof Balance Imaging
• Track Footing Imaging
• Joint Inflammation Imaging
• Saddle Fit Imaging

Now with infrared thermal imaging, many of these physiological and anatomical issues are exposed at a much earlier stage helping to protect the horse’s health. 

Anatomical imaging, such as x-ray, lacks specificity and fails in the ability to see soft tissue conditions.

Physiological imaging, such as infrared imaging has the ability to not only see tissue conditions but can also recognize areas that are indicative to anatomical issues.

 

Early detection = early prevention = money saved!

 

 

Saddle Fit for Horse and Rider Comfort

A horse’s saddle should fit correctly and have even bearing on the horse’s back.  Most horse owners will purchase an expensive horse and then use a cheap saddle instead of paying to have a custom saddle built for the horse.  Many times while watching training going on at a barn, the trainer would remove a saddle from one horse and put it on the next horse to be ridden.  A thermal review of the horse and the saddle can show when pressure points are unevenly distributed, therefor causing major discomfort to the horse and the rider.
