Lameness is a clinical condition that heavily affects racehorses. As a result, their competitive performance is dramatically deteriorated and side effects such as changes in feeding patterns may manifest. Within this work we have presented a developed portable Internet of Things (IoT) infrared imaging device, whose application is aimed towards on-site farm level detection of lameness in equine. Additionally we have presented an in-debt review of the causes of lameness, the underlying biological changes that it induces, its influence over tissue thermal patterns and how exercise affects a racehorse's temperature profile.
