One-Day Introduction to Equine Thermography |
The Introduction Course gives an insight into Equine Thermography, briefly covering history, infrared science, equine scanning and camera suitability. It is designed to give the attendee a flavour of Equine Thermography, why correct training and camera selection is so important, helping them decide if Equine Thermography is for them.
This course is run once a quarter for one or more attendees according to demand.

Bespoke training can also be arranged
We do not offer these courses online. These courses include practical sessions with cameras and horses. Also Equine Thermography has to be carried out in a precise manner following strict guidelines; training for this is best done in an actual classroom where we can help and guide you rather than in a virtual world where mistakes can often go unnoticed.
Please email for further information or if you have any questions.
