Used to help headshaking horses, the Original Nose Net from Germany is now available in the United States. Headshaking is a physiologic problem that often leaves owners frustrated and confused, as formerly trusted mounts shake their heads, strike at their faces, itch, and sneeze manically, attempting to "switch off" their over-activated facial nerves. While the exact cause of and definitive solution to headshaking has not been pinpointed, the use of nose nets offers immediate relief to many horses. The Original German Nose Net covers the entire muzzle, and it has been used successfully on more than 300 horses. The nose net is available in three sizes and can be attached to any snaffle bridle.
