It is also known to cause penile paralysis (so wise vets try to avoid using it 
on stallions, since the only cure for that is amputation), and has a tendency 
to make them "kicky" (they may respond violently to sudden stimulus).

It makes them "light headed" because it lowers blood pressure.? It is a 
vaso-dialator.

I don't know very many vets who use ace.? My vet mostly uses detomidine 
(Dormosedan), and I know lots who use xylazine.
