      Seems like a strange question to ask engineers rather than vets but as it happens I spent a lot of time on horses when I was younger! I’m not sure what the first device you thought of was but in general horses are very similar to any other pet (or person) in terms of health checks so vets will use stethascopes, ECGs, opthalmoscopes etc to check on their health unless there is an obvious problem / symptom.
