[RC] hoof and leg circulation - k s swigart

Candace Kahn said:


Further in the discussion of circulation in a shod vs
an unshod foot.  The picture at this site shows the
blood circulation in a horse with one front foot shod
and the other foot unshod.

I went to this site and looked at the picture, and I am willing to bet
my life that this picture is faked.  That the way this "one cool leg" in
thermal imaging was achieved was by icing it (or by Photoshop :)).  I've
just seen way to many thermal images of shod horses legs to even begin
to accept that this image has not been doctored in some way.

However, we have no way of knowing (in fact, we are not even given a
source for the image so we can check).  I would have to see that
experiment repeated by somebody I trust before I would accept the image
as valid.
