Is your Horse a Headshaker?

[claire156]

Hi everyone,

I'm an Equine Manual Therapist and am currently doing a dissertation on headshaking and its effects on the equine musculo-skeletal system.

If anyone has a headshaking horse, or knows of one, and you would be interested in having your horse assessed as part of my study, I would be delighted to hear from you.

I am based in the south.

Sounds interesting. Are you going into the causes of it as well?

What is headshaking?=]

[Elaine]

It's when a horse literally shakes it's head, maybe a certain times of the year, maybe it's just a new thing, maybe it's when you ride, etc. More info here: irishnhsociety.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=usefulinformation&action=display&thread=329
