Infrared thermography is a method to assess the skin temperature by means of a camera equipped with an infrared detector. It makes thermograms that represents the surface temperature of skin patterns. This article summerizes the different informations about thermography and thermoregulation of horses. A lot of information exist about thermoregulation of most of the domestic animals but very little exists as far as horses are concerned. Two different types of devices are used for thermography: contacting and noncontacting which measure the infrared radiation either with a thermometer or with a themographic camera. The blood circulation dictates the thermic model which is at the origin of thermographic interpretation. This latter is a good method helping to study thermoregulation.
