Head tossing is a problem that originates in the nervous system.

Light, wind, or insects on the nose – even seemingly minor stimuli can trigger the nervous system in sensitive horses so intensely that it leads to uncontrolled head tossing and head twitching. The solution involves a two-pronged approach: supporting the nervous system from within – and shielding against external stimuli.

Understanding the Problem

Why your horse shakes its head – and what's really behind it

Head tossing is not bad behavior. It is a signal of an overstimulated nervous system. Your horse's nose is one of its most sensitive body parts – packed with nerve endings that react to the slightest stimuli. When these nerves are constantly overstimulated, this manifests as what we experience as head tossing or head twitching.

The tricky part is that it often doesn't take much. An insect, sunlight, gusts of wind, pollen – what might be barely noticeable for other horses can trigger a chain reaction in the nervous system of sensitive horses. And the more frequently this occurs, the more sensitive the system becomes.

THE SOLUTION: A HOLISTIC APPROACH

How the Nerves Essentials Pro Combo provides support

Because head tossing arises simultaneously from two sources – the nervous system and external triggers – it requires a solution that addresses both aspects. This is precisely the concept behind combining Nerves Essentials Pro direct with the nose net.
