As above thinking of you today, i hope it goes as well as possible. You are a good owner x
Have no doubts today, this is the right thing to do. Will be thinking of you.

If this was a dog people would be horrified it hadn't been pts. The same applies here I'm afraid. Pain past or present is likely the cause but don't wait until he kills you or someone else, there's plenty of nice ex racehorses needing a home. Sorry.
Not really something I needed to read after what myself and my boy have been through. Please see all other comments^^^ I have deliberately not read a lot of the other replies on here but this basically sums up what is in my mind.
OP you have done your very very best with this horse and have spent a huge amount of money. He has shown that he WILL physically harm people, and has done so.
You could get this expert and that expert in; ditto vets & other horse whisperers & allied "professionals" but at the end of the day you could be throwing good money after bad and someone is still quite likely to get hurt.
Sorry but for me I'd have made "the decision" well before now; had to make a tough choice about my dear old gal (only 10yo) who was an absolute sweetie but she had trigeminal nerve headshaking and had got to the point where she was beginning to be dangerous to handle simply because she was obviously in soooh much pain.
Please don't wait until this horse seriously harms either you or someone else.
Sorry, wish I could be more positive.

Just want to thank everyone who has taken the time to help me and offer your support. My boy passed peacefully in the sunshine yesterday and I stayed by his side the whole time. I miss him terribly it physically hurts and my life will never be the same without him, but he’s not in pain anymore and he’s free now. I’ve sent some of his tail off today so I can have a lovely necklace made from his tail hair and then he can be with me again forever. I’m truly broken but appreciate everyone who has been kind on here. Thankyou all. X
