Hate to mention clover again...but my chestnut with a wide blaze had
horrible photosensitive reactions....literally a big scab half way up his
face and scabby socks in the rear when he was on lots of clover.  I tried
sun block, painting him with purple medicine, keeping him inside by day,
etc.  Turned out he had photosensitive reaction which is increased by
clover. "Photic" headshaking sounds like it might have something to do
with photosensitive doesn't it?  

Took my horses who had problems off the field that was overloaded with
clover and no more problems.  In the spring, the horses drooled
profusely, does this happen to yours?  They'd open their mouths and a cup
of slobber would just dump out.  If you have several horses in one barn
with the problem I would be suspicious.
