Jack has had no headshaking recently. I have found he tends to be worse in the winter, autumn and spring, but spring/summer barely any signs 🤷‍♀️

Jack, on a rare but gorgeous sunny day! Very minimal if any hs. Can't be sure if this is remission or the trial therapy working.... who knows 🤷‍♀️but I'll take it!

Sadly Jack is experiencing some increase in HS since our move. We are still trialling treatments atm so I am unable to say too much as this can risk the obscuring results. I am happy to discuss with anyone else who is on the same path. It is the worse condition a horse could get. There are days like today where I think perhaps we should call it a day. But, having experienced this with him over theast 8 years I know these episodes are short. If things change and they become longer harsher or he self harms I shall make that decision. Until then we fight on to try and find the reason which eventually will lead us to a cure. Stay strong fellow HS community. And if you can donate any amount however small please do so by contacting the Langford Animal Health And Welfare Charity and stipulate your donation is for the Headshaking Trust. Thank you 🙏 it is very important to stress this is a snapshot in time. He doesn't do this all the time and this by far is the worst he has been. If you like in the comments he is absolutely normal. The episodes are infrequent and last seconds.

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.
