EquineIR is a training module developed by Level 3 Thermographer Peter Hopkins, Joanna Robson, DVM and Farrier Mike DeLeonardo to teach a non-invasive process of evaluation for horses. Infrared thermography can be used to identify areas of possible nerve and muscle damage, as well as improper saddle fitting and hoof-balancing. The trained thermographer takes a specific series of images which are then evaluated by Dr. Robson and Mr. DeLeonardo who issue a report for the horse’s owner and trainer.
