They may have tetanus. Tetanus is one of the leading causes of death and treatment is difficult. The most common sign of a horse with tetanus is having its head and neck down in an outstretched position and feeling stiff. Tetanus is a bacterial infection most often caused by a deep, dirty wound. If you suspect your horse has tetanus, call your vet right away.
If you mean martingale, it helps teach a young horse to rein and keeps their head down so it is safer to train them, a lot like a tie down.

Brought Down
saying the horse's legs are down may mean that the horse is lame, or that the slope of the pasterns is incorrect.

Buddy sour means that your animal (whatever they are) constantly wants to be with another animal of their species. AKA, their buddy.

It means that the butcher is selling horse meat and prepared meat products made of horse meat

If you had your head handed to you by someone, that someone figuratively cut it off with his/her words.The question was "give someone his head" not "hand someone their head." To give someone his head means to allow them to do what they want to do. The image is from horse-riding, where you loosen the reins and "give" the horse control over his head, which allows the horse to speed up as it wants to do.
When a horse puts their head on your shoulder, they are either being friendly or dominant. Be cautious, as horses can be dangerous when too close and you are not aware.
This means that the horse is listening to you and respects you, its a very good thing because the horse is showing you that he will obey and respect what you ask of it!
