A fever is often the first clinical sign of Strangles.

If your horse may have been exposed, early detection matters. Close monitoring of body temperature with an Epona Biotec TailTab provides a simple, practical way to help identify fever early and act before obvious clinical signs develop.

An outbreak of a highly contagious horse disease is spreading among thoroughbreds in the North Island , raising concerns about exports. Strangles is a serious bacterial infection for horses, ponies and donkeys that causes a fever and painful abscesses in the throat. The disease has been confirmed on...

Fever Detection is Paramount!

For anyone looking for an easier and more consistent way to monitor their horse’s temperature—rather than relying on twice-daily re**al readings—Epona Biotec’s TailTab sensors provide accurate, remote, continuous monitoring.

Welcome to the Tail Club 🐴🔥🌡

When a global brand builds an equine tail sensor, one thing is clear: this category has arrived.

At Epona Biotec, we’ve been refining the VetTrue™ system for years with a simple clinical focus: the metric that drives real decisions in the stable and on the truck — temperature.

You can measure plenty of things… but temperature is often the trigger that makes you act: isolate, investigate, treat, and make the call on travel (or don’t).

If you’re exploring equine wearables, start with one question:
“Will this help me catch a problem early?”

That’s exactly what VetTrue™ is built for.

Real-time, accurate temperature monitoring for horses from Epona Biotec

Reports out of Texas highlight a serious EHV-1 / EHM outbreak linked to a major event in Waco, with at least one horse reported euthanised and case numbers continuing to evolve across Texas and other states.
For owners, trainers, event organisers, and veterinarians, the practical takeaway is clear: early fever detection and disciplined biosecurity are the difference-makers. Fever is often the earliest, most actionable sign, well before neurologic cases declare themselves, so structured monitoring (and immediate isolation of any suspect horse) remains foundational outbreak control.
If you manage groups of horses, competition barns, training yards or transport hubs, consider how you can make monitoring more consistent with less handling. Continuous temperature monitoring technology (including our VetTrue™ / TailTab system at Epona Biotec) is designed to help teams pick up temperature change early, triage quickly, and reduce the labour burden of repeated manual checks during high-risk periods.

Really useful, practical guidance—particularly the emphasis on regular health checks, isolating new arrivals/returning horses, and reducing unnecessary contact during an EHV outbreak.
One of the most actionable “health check” metrics in the real world is temperature, because a fever is often the earliest objective sign before more obvious clinical disease develops. This is where the VetTrue™ TailTab sensor from Epona Biotec (www.eponabiotec.com) is particularly valuable: it provides reliable, ongoing temperature monitoring with minimal handling, which is ideal when you’re managing quarantine groups, monitoring returning horses for 3–4 weeks, or trying to reduce staff traffic between barns. It also makes it much easier to spot trends early and share clear records with your veterinarian so decisions can be made quickly and confidently.

This is exactly the kind of scenario where temperature monitoring makes a real difference.
In a strangles situation, one of the earliest and most useful objective signs is a rising temperature—often before swelling or obvious nasal discharge is noticed. When you’re managing an exposure or an active outbreak, the challenge isn’t knowing what to do; it’s catching the first changes early enough to isolate fast, tighten movement control, and prioritise which horses need immediate veterinary assessment and testing.
That’s where the VetTrue™ TailTab from Epona Biotec (www.eponabiotec.com) is so useful. It provides continuous, practical temperature monitoring with minimal handling, which is ideal when you’re tracking multiple horses and trying to reduce unnecessary contact. It’s one measurement—but it’s the one that consistently drives actionable decisions in outbreak management.

Wearables are only valuable if they change management. Surprised there’s no mention of VetTrue™ by Epona Biotec (www.eponabiotec.com)—continuous temperature monitoring is low-noise, high-value, and often the earliest objective sign of disease. Sometimes one good metric beats twenty pretty dashboards.
