The Arabian is one such breed that comes to mind that meets this criteria. Arabs have a small head with a dished face and the fine, arched neck. Some people say that Arabs have a delicate, dainty appearance especially with their head and neck, and yet they are amazing tough animals despite their appearance.
Other horse breeds will also qualify as having a beautiful head and neck. Lipizzaners, Andalusians, Friesians, Percherons, and Haflingers, among others, would also be included in this question. But undoubtedly, the Arabian is King as far as this question is concerned.

What kind of thing can you use to force your horses head higher?
If you are riding a horse and you want to force its head higher, that would be done with the reins. Holding the reins tightly or high up on the horses neck is considered poor horsemanship and can get you kicked out of a competition quickly. Each horse carries it's neck and head according to it's build,this can be modified through training, or you could just buy a horse with a higher neck/head set. Remember though that not allowing a horse to use it's head and forcing it to stay up can cause a multitude of health and attitude problems later on.
Can you touch a horses muzzle?
You can, if you be careful not to bring your hand too low down to the nose. The nose is not a place where you should pet a horse because they can and will bite you. The best place to pet a horse is on the forehead or neck. If a horse is particularly head-shy (or not willing to let you pet him anywhere on his head), giving him a scratch or rub on the neck is the best way to make friends with a horse.
