Brandon, I have been skiing in Salt Lake City Utah.

I see some horses around. What does the market look like?

I see quite a bit of horses out this way. Many more than I ever saw growing up in Mississippi, however, I believe most are just your general trail riding horses. I've never seen any horses used for any form of competition like you probably see quite a bit of in TN.

I don't really know enough about the horse community to feel comfortable approaching horse owners with these Infrared services. The Equine work sounds like a lot of fun so I'm hoping for the best but I've just gotta get the right training. I'm hoping United Infrared can provide me with a good start.

Do you recommend any good training materials, methods, or programs pertaining to Equine? How did you learn? Did you grow up around horses? I didn't..

Do you think Equine Thermography has the potential to keep a thermographer busy for the majority of the time or is it more of a side job for extra income when the Infrared Home and Building Inspections become slow?

Do you have any plans on coming to Utah to do any sking this Winter? Maybe I could buy your flight out and get some horses lined up for a day or two of training with you? Just a thought to consider..

I can tell you this. Unless the horses are of some value, It will be rare to get regular horse people to spend any money on our toys. Then you have to be weary of crossing the boundries of vet practicing. The oportunities are out there. You should start with some large or better clinics, and try to be humble while showing them your tool and how proper training can help THEM solve the lamenss issue. You coming in and stating you can find it when they can't will make short work of your side venture.
Maybe try some pro bono work to get a feel for finding the issues, then once you have good repor with some people the rest should fall into place.

There's a ton of money.
I did my training with Peter Hopkins, Joanna Robson, DVM and it was well worth it. www.equineir.com

Great choice on the training Peter.

I was in NY a few months back when the Belmont was running. The week before they had this large horse expo show at the Belmont. There was a guy there with some red lights charging the horse owners a couple hundred dollars to "relax" their horse. If they will pay for that scam, they will pay even more for the real deal.
