So this very kind lady took a photo of Jack and edited it to this very beautiful background. Isn't this gorgeous!

Today's session a little less crazy 🥴

26/05/2024

We are tasked with getting a video of him lunging at trot. He was pretty bad with hs here hence his behaviour and his way of communicating with me that it hurts mum I don't want to go forward. This is why I stopped riding him. His default is up. And if you don't listen he will go down. I had to push him to get the video for trial purposes so please pass no judgements. We took another video straight after a 2min break. And look at the difference. Although still hs not as bad an episode. Apologies for the quality I don't have a great camera phone!

24/05/2024

Hs is a strange condition. I hope we can find the reason and the cure one day 🤞

Sleepy lazy day for Jack .... must be all that grass! 😬😳

08/05/2024

So as Jack's headshaking has been pretty bad, for the first time since 2019 I had to get a video of him shaking, he has to trot for 5 mins. He has just gotten over a nasty virus si there is a slight cough still hence postponing. But look! No headshaking! Be great if it had disappeared with the virus but I'm sure it's just a one off🤨I try not to get optimistic about him sporadically stopping shaking as it always returns sadly. I shall repost once we get a better vid and hopefully the cough has gone.

Roll on spring.... oooh it is spring 😳

03/05/2024

Jack celebrated his 13th birthday. The biggest present he got was being accepted in trial studies into a potential new treatment for headshaking using blue light therapy! We shall keep you all posted once official and give out results once posted. In the mean time its party time for the big guy 🥳🥳🥳🥳xx

Thought I would demonstrate how utterly frustrating this condition is. Here you see hay is triggering a head shaking attack, you might be fooled into thinking he has an allergy to the hay.... perhaps the dust (this is the most cleanest high quality hay so v low dust) he does like to dunk his hay in water so there could be an element here... I didn't soak it just splashed a small bucket of water over it look at the next vid to see no headshaking 🤔

Share your headshaking stories, symptoms, treatments, behaviours associated with it, success stories.

Trigeminal Mediated Head Shaking: Nodding Neddies is here to help. I'm happy to chat via messenger about our experience with it. Its quite a process you go through. Almost like grieving in some way. Lots of things to try some will work some won't and most will only work part of the time. It's very much a management matter. No matter how bad you feel remember we are all experiencing different levels at different times. Things will get better. 🥰

Very next day, look no hs🤷‍♀️bizarre condition isnt it. Same conditions too....

Jack sadly having a headshaking episode today. Gladly it goes away spontaneously. We are hoping to start raising funds again soon for the trigeminal mediated head shaking trust. Apologies we have been quiet for a while due to work commitments but if you want to donate please do so through the Langford Animal health and welfare charity making sure you highlight your donation for the headshaking trust. Thank you 🐴

Please take the time to fill in this questionnaire. It could be that your horse is selected to participate in a non invasive clinical trial. This is all part and parcel of trying to piece together the jigsaw.
