The integration of telemedicine into veterinary practice has the potential to revolutionize equine care by providing remote consultations that enhance accessibility, efficiency, and quality of service. This study evaluates the use of telemedicine for remote consultations in equine practice, exploring its impact on veterinary care delivery, client satisfaction, and clinical outcomes. We conducted a comprehensive analysis involving equine veterinarians and horse owners who participated in telemedicine consultations, assessing various aspects such as the effectiveness of remote diagnostics, the ease of use of telemedicine platforms, and the overall satisfaction of both practitioners and clients. The findings indicate that telemedicine can significantly improve access to veterinary expertise, reduce travel-related stress for horses, and maintain high standards of care. However, challenges such as technological barriers and the need for physical examinations in certain cases must be addressed. This study underscores the transformative potential of telemedicine in equine practice and provides recommendations for its effective implementation.
