itchy face

["Jeanne Slominski" <EnduranceMorgan1@home.com>]

Boy, I know this one. My younger guy does this too, usually at a trot on the downhill, very disconcerting. No warning, just a dead stop, and the head going down to his pasterns to rub.  It seems to be a sweaty face thing, at least for us. As he has gotten older and is doing more conditioning/rides, he is stopping less to rub. Must be getting used to the sweat or his face isn't getting as itchy.
