## Notice

The Veterinary Departments of The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment (HCMR) and The King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery (KTRHA) each require an equine diagnostic ultrasonography capability in order to promote and protect the health, welfare and operational effectiveness of Military Working Horses (MWH). Ultrasonography, along with radiography and endoscopy, is a mainstay of equine diagnostic imaging, and is often essential to the clinical decision-making process. The field of veterinary ultrasonography is now more than 35 years old, and improvements in technology since its first use have been exponential. The vast majority of veterinary surgeons in equine general practice have ready access to an ultrasound machine.
