My list to try with Dizz

[MrsMozart]

Thank you for all your thoughts and ideas Very much appreicated

The List:

1. Order Sprenger bit - I'm thinking French Link with D rings: trial it and see what happens.

2. Change crank noseband for cavesson and have it done up loosely.

3. Conciously check fit of bridle and that there are no adverse pressure points or bits sticking in/out.

4. Try a Happy Mouth French Link whilst waiting for Sprenger to arrive.

5. Get hands up, to shoulder level, let her argue with herself.

6. Try net nosebag.

7. Try thick vaseline in nostrils.

8. Call vet and talk to her about endoscoping and about allergies.

9. Book physio.

10. Speak to dentist and have her come out and check.

11. Saddler is coming this week.

12. Try harder to work her forwards.

13. Make sure she stretches down - give her more stretch breaks.

14. I'm sure there was another one... Will go re-read thread

15. Ah! If none of the above works, try a Dr. Cook bitless bridle.

I've done a bit of reading this evening about head shaking; so far I don't think Dizz is, but will review over the coming weeks.

Off to bed to dream of a happy Dizzy Thank you again, and sweet dreams all

Just remembered something which might help. Used to live with a chap had horrendous hay fever which always started by or at the late May bank holiday - we usually went to stay with friends and in those days the chemists shut most of a Sunday (pre supermarkets selling chemists stuff) by which time his eyes were red and he wouldn't stop sneezing, snored all night and ruined our weekend. Anyhow one year he got a Beconase spray http://www.boots.com/en/Beconase-Hayfever-Relief-Nasal-Spray-for-Adults-100-Sprays_8312/?CAWELAID=334481730&cm_mmc=Shopping%20Engines-_-Google%20Base-_---_-Beconase%20Hayfever%20Relief%20Nasal%20Sprayfor%20Adults%20100%20Sprays by about 5pm on Saturday, which he wooshed up his nose and it seemed to work immediately, and after that he got one in early (well actually *I* got it for him) and we never had the ruined bank holiday weekend away after that

 

[MrsMozart]

Thank you . I'll mention it to m'vet

 

[wellsat]

Does she do it when you're having a lesson?

 

[MrsMozart]

Oh yes! Instructor doesn't think it's 'headshaking' per se, more like she is arguing about something.

See update...
