My guess is Photoshop.  That is generally the easiest way to "rig" a photo.

I have attached a photo of the same horse that now has two shoes on instead of one.

Geez, to me it just looks like the horse got his butt kicked in paint ball. :)    Dr Q

Good observation.  The thing that is very suspicious about this picture is not so much the legs but the background.  Thermography units are nothing more than overpriced IR cameras.  All objects radiate in the IR band - sufficient thermal energy will cause the emission of photons in the IR region. Some materials, i.e. grass, tree leaves, and all sorts of foliage light up in the IR.  Unless objects in the back ground are super cooled IR would show up in the image.  The background in this image is totally void of any indication of IR.  Yep, this photo is very suspicious.

It's been a while since I was involved in using thermography; used to take my horse to a vet who used it a lot but haven't needed to for a while. But if I remember correctly, it should be set so that the "normal" areas read cool, and any red that showed heat was cause to explore further. So if that is the case, then this would be showing just the opposite of what the original article said. It would be showing the shod foot as normal and the unshod warm from possible trauma.

Not saying the photo is valid either way. Just an observation based on what I think I remember.
