- You don’t necessarily need a ‘good’ camera, I’ve had some perfectly good photos sent to me taken with a smart phone.
- You can get someone else to hold your horse but don’t try and hold their head still, as they will automatically throw their head up.
- Calmly hold the halter/headcollar on the cheekpiece with one hand and take the photo with the other. When doing this I don’t try and restrain them.
The idea is to get the pupil closed so I can see the iris, there are two ways to achieve this:
- In both options the camera should be about 15cm from the eye.
- Don’t use zoom as it blurs the image and Macro doesn’t work with a flash very well.
Try and take several photos from the following angles:
When taking the photo inside:
- Use the flash, but if they are light sensitive and keep blinking at the wrong moment, try using the ‘red eye’ facility if you have one.
- Red Eye option. This will do a small flash to close the pupil then another split second later.
Outside option:
- You might find that doing it outside in the shade easier.
- I will also need a picture of the whole horse side on, with their name, sex and age.
You can send the photos by WhatsApp (07747868819) or by email to equine.insight@icloud.com.
Separate Info:
- When I receive them I upload to my computer and crop and lighten them if needed.
- I will send your full report to you via email, and schedule a phone call to chat through the report and help you make a plan.
- I will provide follow up support as well.
