Equine Thermography

By Carol-Ann Smith Van Blerk

This guide offers both professionals and horse owners alike an easy appreciation of the use of Thermography in Equine applications. Thermography is the use of infra-red camera body imaging to show superficial temperature differences.Whilst Thermography will not necessarily tell us what the problem is, it can certainly tell us where problems may lie. It can be an useful tool for locating areas of elevated heat on the body of a horse and so giving us a good starting point for further exploration and diagnosis by a veterinary professional.Infra-Red imaging in Equine Applications spans a broad range of uses, including identification of inflammation, follow up and monitoring of the healing process, along with practical horse husbandry like saddle fitting and hoof balance.
