  • Sometimes the fly masks get cranked on too tight on the jaw muscle. Or, he could be wanting attention and it just became a bad habit. It looked like in the #1 video you were standing closer and in #2 you were further away and he did it less? Interesting. When I'm in doubt about my geldings doing weird things, I finally just clean their sheaths real good and things settle down. There are places on their bodies that they can't reach very well.

  • We discovered the cause. The cause of his headshaking is when he knocks his neck/head joint out of whack. He does when he twists his head and reaches under the corrals looking for that stray bit of hay. I found someone who does CST (cranial sacral therapy) and puts him back in alignment. I subsequently ran hot wire around his corral to keep him from reaching under. Riley is managing quite well. Yeah!

  • That's great to hear! I love a happy ending! Thanks for sharing.

    P.S. I just added five new movies, if you're interested?!
