Bit worried about my 17 yo gelding.
When we are hacking out in low sun (mainly winter) and we are passing hedges he often violently shakes his head to the right. It's when the sun is shining from the left. It only happens when sun is bright and low and you can see sunlight dapples through the hedges. It's as if the sun is getting in his eye and dazzling him! It's annoying but is it anything I should worry about? Given his age I am now panicking about cataracts etc! He certainly seems to be doing it more lately but it has been a relatively sunny winter here.
