Have you ever known a horse who was "ear shy?"
If you have, you probably also heard the explanation, "That horse must have been ear'rd as a foal. Now he hates having his ears touched."
And also, "He's always been that way."
In my experience, 95% of horses who are ear shy, actually have their atlas (poll) out of alignment. This can cause ear sensitivity.
To hear more about different causes and possibilities --- and how to check for yourself, please have a listen to this Horse Mysteries Solved podcast.
To your success in finding the primary cause,
