I just saw this link on another forum page http://www.horsetalk.co.nz/news/2009/01/108.shtml I don't know if it will be of any help, but they sound quite similar to your case as these horses did not want to go into the sunlinght.

Oh no, your poor boy :-( It doesn't sound like you are having much luck!! Did you have any luck with the eye drops or did you try the guardian mask? I don't think I can be of much help with yours because my endoscope showed swelling of the nose, so all the 'remedies' I have tried have been...

If you can't manage the nose net, you could maybe try putting vaseline around his nose?

Hey Jane1234, my horse headshakes and it has taken me two years now to get to the bottom of it. She had an endoscopy and was confirmed with alergic rhinitis. I tried all different things from herbal suppliments, nose sprays, vaseline on the nose, ventipulmin and an inhaler to get the...

Oh no, poor boy :-( It definitly sounds like sunlight is a trigger, bless him. I hope you have some luck with the nostril vet. I've tried it, and I thought it was good at first, but now cos she's started sneezing so much she just keeps sneezing white stuff out, which I'm assuming is the powder...

The guardian mask looks interesting. I'm unsure whether it would work or not on mine because when we did the endoscopy in her nose, it showed inflammation. Can sunlight cause inflammation?? If you do try it, please can you let me know how you get on? My horse has been on Ucerax for about 6 days...

Angelbones, that sounds so much like mine. If I go for a hack and just let her plod around she is fine. However, if i try to school her on a hack or in the arena, headshaking and sneezing comes into play. As soon as i let her go over some jumps she stops. As soon as she is stressed, the...

I can completely relate to you Trufffles. Mine is a very stressed horse and I think she is also very bored at the yard I'm at. She started windsucking a few years back because she wasn't getting enough field time, and the yard is also very stressful as it is a riding school and livery yard. I...

I own a headshaker and it is very distressing to see her in such discomfort. However, hers is all year round and not seasonal. Due to this horses being seasonal you may have a higher chance of minimising it. My vet told me today of something similar to piriton, but apparently works better on...

Thank you for all the advice, it has been really helpful. I saw the vet again today where i asked about Cyproheptadine, however he said that this used to seem like a cure, but recent research has shown that it's effectiveness is wearing off. He said he is going to a conference at the end of...

Thank you gemjar. I did try the herbal suppliment by Global Herbs for headshakers, but it had no effect and was very expensive, so it has kind of put me off! But I will definitly look into the Naff one. Thank you for the links Teddyt, I can't open the second one, but the one above is very...

My horse has been a head shaker now for over a year, and I have been trying everything to try and prevent it. Had everything checked, tack, teeth, back etc with no problems. Finally she had an endoscopy which confirmed allergic rhinitis. She was put on a beclazone inhaler (3 puffs morning and...
