Looks good Ross.

An added incentive for me is that I could vist Fern (Brego's foal out of Finesco) who lives somewhere in that area.

I am hoping to attend the conference not least because of the slot on Thermography.

I run a Thermal Imaging Service and am based in Surrey and can be found at www.equinethermography.co.uk if anyone has an interest. I am keen to assist Podiatrists who would like to explore this area further. To date, the Thermal Imaging has proved very useful.

I wonder if you have discussed this here on-line at all. I have done a quick search but have found nothing but would be interested in people's experience.

Best wishes.

Hi Jo,

I'm looking forward to the thermography presentation. Hans was showing some of his work at last years conference and it looks fascinating. I had a look at your website. I like your pics of the horse that is shod infront and bare behind. I'm sure no one on this forum will be surprised to see the difference in circulation.

Julie.

Hi Julie,

I am assuming that Hans is a UKNHCP Practitioner - am also interested in what he is looking at. I have been looking at horses that are presenting issues in the main and it has proved to be a very useful tool so I am very keen to see what research Hans has been undertaking too and looking forward to meeting him.

So see you there....

Will start a thread on thermal imaging here too...
