Head shaking

[Haffie]

Hi ive noticed my pony shakes her head sometimes - never when i trot on her but she has done it in canter. However, as you can see in the video, she shakes her head when she trots and isnt being ridden. Is it just because shes happy or do you think theres a problem (vet is coming this week so would be a good time to take it further.
Thanksx

That is not headshaking but more a tossing of the head to express herself, many horses and ponies will do this especially the welshies which she looks to be, if she is doing it ridden then get her teeth checked as it could be slight discomfort or annoyance, also check the saddle fit and ensure she is ridden purposefully so has to concentrate on what she is doing.

Thanks a million. Yeah she hardly does it when ridden, just seems to be excited - food is coming etc. Vet checked her teeth last week. Thanks for your help, i always like to ask just in case xxx
