We ran a thermographic imager over my brood several years ago when my son worked for a Seattle agency doing thermographic imaging on building electrical systems (he and his boss were out visiting and showing off the equipment to us.) It was pretty interesting in that the only hot spot we found was lower leg of one of my horses that had never taken an off step...and never had any future problems with that area, thank heaven, but we watched it carefully. I found the whole procedure fascinating and Fred, the company owner, was just getting into using it on horses so he didn't have a lot of background to share at that time. Is this something that's being used on a regular basis at the tracks now? Sue sbrown@wamedes.com Tyee Farm Marysville, Wa.
