It usually means the horse is lame (sound) (off). This means the horse is limping. You should get a vet to check out your horse. Ask an experienced person like your trainer before calling, just in case it's not a big issue.
Answer 2:When a horse bobs its head up and down, usually it doesn't like what your doing, like its sort of a sign of resisting you, you should try and control the behavior when it is in that context. But, sometimes a horse bobs its head to get a fly off its head or other such things that should not be scolded. Answer 3:Many reasons. They may be sucking air or trying to scratch that perfect spot. If this happens while you're riding this is called throwing their head. They may be doing this to tell you that you are pulling on the bit too hard, to tell you that they understand the message you are trying to send them, or they may be trying to throw you off balance.

∙ 14y agoIf the horse is throwing it's head around when being ridden then either it's the rider that's the problem or somthing is hurting the horse. such as the bit/bridle/ or saddle this is also cuased by the mis-use of spurs. If the horse is out in pasture or being ground handled then he's just playing or confused.

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."
