  1. In the spring, my horse starts flipping his nose up almost constantly. He doesn't sneeze or snort more than normal. He tosses his head and shakes it. This behavior lasts into the summer. The vet can't find anything wrong. This can't be comfortable for the horse (23-year-old gelding OTTB), and it certainly makes for a rough ride. Can I treat this somehow? Using a fly mask made no difference. The behavior doesn't seem to be related to insects. Updated: March 22, 2009
