Samples of thermographic images of the thoracolumbar region of the same horse taken on two consecutive days: A shows the before image and B the after result under a low bodyweight rider. C shows the before image and D the result after being ridden by the higher bodyweight rider. Images: https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-021-02803-2
Computer-driven analysis of thermographic images of a horse’s back shows promise in assessing what is going on beneath the saddle, the findings of fresh research suggest.
