I'm seriously at my wits end so any help, advise or hopefully someone who has been or is in a similar situation.
I have a 6 year old welsh section A mare. SHE'S GORGEOUS in every way but she head shakes so much when being ridden it's getting almost impossible for my children to ride her.
It's not her teeth....she has them done every 5 yes 5 months.
It's not her back. ..that's checked often too!
She has no ear mites.....checked
Her tack fits correctly
She shakes in a head collet on the lunge as well as in a bridle (I've tried bitless) no difference.
I've been googling as you do and the only thing that I can see that's a possibility is something called......
Trigeminal-mediated headshakers
Is anyone familiar with this???
Again any comments welcomed.
