Video: Head Tossing

Watch John Lyons video to learn his tried and tested method for reforming a head tosser.

Q: My horse tosses his head constantly. I had the veterinarian out, and she says his teeth are fine. I even asked a trainer to help me find a comfortable bit and adjust my horse’s headstall, but he still tosses his head. Help!

A: Watch John Lyons’ video to learn his tried and tested method for reforming a head tosser.

There is new research on this topic indicating that head shaking can be related to pain in the trigenial nerve. If it only occurs in the sunlight when the horse is asked to work or exert himself, then it may be caused by this nerve irritation. He may seek shade in the paddock and have a reaction to light when coming out of the barn. Reearch this on medical sites (like AAEP) and find a vet who stays current on new research. NEVER ASK A TRAINER FOR A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS!! Trainers are not trained to give medical diagnosis. Even the vets get it wrong a lot of the time.
