[RC] ThermoHorse - Head to Hoof Thermography - Real Name

I have used this service  with great results.  I had saddle fit
issues on a 12 yo gelding and had a saddle fit exam done.  I took the
thermographic images with my horse up to my saddle fitter.  She
examined my horse and the saddle giving her opinion as to where
changes needed to be made in my saddle.  She then looked at the
images and they confirmed her opinion.   Another time I had an
appointment for a saddle fit exam for my  6 yo gelding.   I was
trotting him nice and slow warming him up for the exam.  After about
10 minutes he felt off in the front.  I quickly changed my saddle fit
exam to a lameness exam.  His legs thankfully showed no heat  but his
LF hoof  (toe area) did.  I started poulticing his foot thinking it
was an abscess.  A couple of days later it was confirmed by a full
blown abscess.   Since the thermography exam picked it up early I was
able to start treating it ASAP.  

I am a believer in this technology and feel it is a great diagnostic
tool available to us.
