EquineIR™ (www.EquineIR.com) is a part of the United Infrared Network (www.UnitedInfrared.com) – an international network of certified and trained infrared thermographers performing infrared scans on three continents. EquineIR™ thermographers provide scans of horses to detect potential health problems and/or injuries.

Before infrared thermography (IRt), veterinarians could only locate problems using traditional methods such as observation and palpation. Now, by using EquineIR™ thermography techniques, abnormalities present themselves even before damage occurs. This methodology has been developed and refined over the past twenty-five years and has been proven to be an effective imaging technique for: pre & post event, pre-purchase, hoof balancing, saddle fit, joint inflammation, and general diagnostics use. Since animals cannot speak, it has been difficult for caretakers to truly identify hidden or masked conditions. Now with infrared thermal imaging, many of these physiological and anatomical issues are exposed at a much earlier stage. Early detection equals early prevention. Anatomical imaging, such as x-ray, cannot detect soft tissue conditions. Physiological imaging, such as infrared, has the ability to recognize soft tissue conditions, and also areas that are indicative of anatomical issues. The costs of full-horse scans (typically $250-$450), is low enough for horse owners to afford to get baseline imagery of the horse – even when no problems are present at the time. If the horse later becomes injured, the imagery can be compared to the baseline.
“We are truly making a difference for the horses and the owners with equine thermography. Our members come in with a desire to learn how to take correct images, and leave with a newfound appreciation for the horse in sport,” states Dr. Joanna Robson, DVM and Technical Director for EquineIR™. “Standardization and proper education is imperative to the continued success of thermal imaging as an equine diagnostic modality.” Dr. Robson concludes.
“EquineIR™ is a service whose time has come,” states Greg Stockton, President of United Infrared, Inc. “We have become the repository of IR images of horses, and we are able to make thousands of images available to the horse-diagnosing world” he concludes.
