Q) Do I have to sedate my horse?

A) Because the examination is just a visual inspection and there is no contact with the horse, no form of sedation is required. However it will produce clearer images that are easier to interpret if the horse will stand still for a short while to allow the inspection to take place.

Q) Will the inspection hurt or distress the horse?

A) No. The infrared inspection is non invasive and non contact. The Thermographer will examine the horse using a thermal camera, very similar in appearance to a video camera, and does not need to touch the horse at any time. We would prefer the owner to hold the horse during the inspection.

Q) How does infrared work?

A) Infrared thermography shows temperature differences in the horse’s body which are an indicator of inflammation, irritation, disuse, poor circulation and physical stress and/or disease. The problems your farrier, vet, rider or trainer may first notice could be a hidden problem. Thermal Imaging provides a cost-effective tool that will enable you get the “Big Picture” when monitoring your horse’s health and well being.
