[RC] head nodding - Mike & Kathy Kelly

Hoping someone can help me out,
 
I have a 20 yo qrtr pony type mare who has been nodding her head, pretty much incessantly, for the past few weeks.  I still think it could be bugs, but none of the other horses are bothered and I do have a fly mask on her, and fly spray doesn't seem to help.  Thing is, it seems to stop at night, at dusk and when I feed early morning she seems fine.  The rest of the day she's nodding, nodding, poor thing.   Since it stops at night I keep thinking bugs, but I don't see any........
 
I've checked her ears, they seem fine.  She looks normal other than the nodding, no weight loss, etc.  She is ridden lightly once or twice a week (my 7 yo daughter is taking lessons on her) and she is better when she's working.
 
 
Thanks in advance,
Kathy Kelly
