A horse uses it's head and neck for balance. It will push it's neck forward when lengthening it's stride and pull it back when compressing it's stride. This enables the horse the stay balanced over it's legs. Many racehorses have learned through training where the finish line is and have been known to stretch their necks out even if it is out of stride just to get their noses in front to win.
