The Importance of Sending Quality Images of Your Horse When Asking for Our Advice

The advances and wide circulation of smartphones mean that many clients send us pictures for our advice, but you'd be amazed at the poor-quality images we sometimes receive!

While sending photos of your horse’s injuries or ailments can be extremely helpful, they need to be clear and diagnostic-quality for us to provide accurate advice or treatment. Here’s why:

Clarity is Key: Blurry or poorly lit photos make it hard to spot crucial details like swelling, bruising, or cuts.

Show the Area: Always make it clear which part of the horse's body you're capturing. We need to know exactly where the issue is!

Scale Matters: Including something for scale (like a coin or ruler) helps us gauge the size and severity of the problem.

Save Time: High-quality images allow us to give you faster feedback and advise on the need or urgency of a visit.

Remember, while great photos and videos are excellent tools to help us assess your horse’s condition, they don't replace a proper examination or necessary diagnostics.

So, when you're sending images, make sure they're clear, well-lit, and provide some context and scale. It helps us help you and your horse more efficiently!
