I am looking after a horse at the moment and have noticed he has a very strange habit of swinging his head to the side and right back and his nose almost touching his sides - he does this whilst standing still, walking, trotting and hooning madly around the paddock. It looks as if he has a fly on his belly and he is swishing it away - only there is nothing there. The horse is unbroken.
I'm not really sure what the cause would be - he is wormed, there are no flys around and I checked his skin and hair and there is nothing there that seems to be causing any irritation. My main concern is that he might run into a fence whilst looking off behind himself.
It is just really odd and I was wondering if anyone had seen anything like it before or have any suggestions as to what might cause him to do this??
