The piece is called a bearing or bering rein(s). This used to be a standard piece of tack before the automoble. The horse was forced to hold his head at an unaturally high level putting strain on the entire topline* of the animal. It was more of a fashion statement, people thinking the horses looked better while pulling the family's carriage. *The topline of the horse is the poll, crest, withers, back, croupe and dock.
Holding a horses head up high is considered a bad thing to do as it interferes with the horses ability to balance, breath and move. That being said the Bearing rein has been used for hundreds of years to get the 'high headed' look on carriage horses. This piece of equipment is cruel and should not be used on horses.
A horse can throw it's head back no matter what piece of tack is used if it's determined to do it. But many people use a martingale to keep a horses head down, though this is not a good substitute for real training of the horse.
Some people have hexed "horse tack" that you can download from the Internet.
Poorly fitted tack can cause a saddle sore.
