Twitching your horse correctly and briefly is a humane way to keep his attention off whatever else is going on, such as when the horse has his teeth floated, tubing or other proccedures that are an unpleasant reality in the life of the modern horse. An out of control horse is a danger to himself and all those around him. It also saves the horse from a strong sedative and it's groggy recovery.

What is the Superstitious meaning for eye twitching?

The superstitions are that when your left eye twitches it means something bad is going to happen. When your right eye twitches it means something good is going to happen. I have heard, when the top of your eye (say the eyelid) is twitching, something good is going to happen to you, but when the bottom of your eye is twitching, something bad is going to happen. If it is twitching really bad, the effectiveness is stronger than a little twitch.
