All I see is a green vertical line, but if I click on it your picture and remarks about gut sounds appear.
Good idea to observe normal sounds to recognize a difference if the horse is unwell. Thank you for this advice.

Thanks Debbie, am now wondering if we can hear the sounds lol – its all trial and error lol!

One of the interesting points was using the ‘four examinations’ of Traditional Chinese Medicine and that we don’t need to be a vet of TCM practitioner – it really is, across the board, listening to our horses in every way.

Just off to buy a stethoscope!

I always used just my ear pressed firmly against their body with my hand covering the ‘off ear.’ I start up high, and then slowly ‘work my way down.’

Great article though!!!!

That sounds a good way Chuck, it is about knowing what you are listening for and at what time of the day too.

AGREE 100%!

ALWAYS good to check now and then so we know what is ‘normal.’ 😉
