[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 290190, member: 2308"] This doesn't quite sound like the same thing, but we got a green 5 year old a few years that would throw his head around. We came to the conclusion that he was just spoiled, and put a set of draw reins on him that we left looped over the saddle horn. As long as he behaved they didn't interfere, but when he got into tossing his head they would pop him in the mouth. It didn't take him long to realize what was going on, and I think after a couple weeks we removed the sidereins and had no problems with him anymore. I have used the same theory in a few other young horses that were bad for throwing their heads. The best part of it was that the "punishment" happened exactly when it needed to, my arms didn't wear out, and when he quit the reins quit. [/QUOTE]
