Weaving can be a very difficult habit to break once it has taken hold. Weaving is usually a stall vice. If your horse has begun to weave in his stall you may have to move him to a pasture or at least a larger paddock. I have a mare that weaves and she has a large paddock right now. But she only weaves when its time for dinner. Once fed the behavior stops, until right before the next meal.

Why does your horse swing his head side to side?
a horse swings its head side to side because it may be that the horse is trying to get flies away from their face, so you could invest in a fly mask that would stop them from irritation. you can find these in any tack store. Along with the above answer another reason a horse may be swinging it's head is due to a 'stable vice' called weaving. typically a horse who weaves is bored and is trying to stimulate itself in any way possible. There are two forms of weaving, one involves just the head, the other involves the horse switching it's weight from one front foot to the other. The best thing to do is investigate when the horse does this behaviour and what may be causing it, from there you can look for ways to stop the behaviour. If it is true weaving then the horse will need more stimulation, such as more turnout or more hay throughout the day.

Make the horse want to do what you ask it to and make the horse understand you are the leader. To be the leader, move the horses feet forward, left, right and backwards.
