Emma is providing her rehabilitation horses with a tool that monitors their healing as soon as they enter her premises and ensures that they don't leave her until she is happy with the thermography results ensuring that they are injury free. Emma is currently working very closely with Equitherm to ensure she maximised her skills as an advanced Thermographer, I am very happy to have such a dedicated and determined person in our team."
