Best Answer

Horses may bump you with their heads to get your attention, show affection, or to let you know they are itchy, hungry, thirsty, or to test your leader ship. It all depends on how they bump you with their head. A strong bump that is more of a slam is likely a test and needs to be dealt with swiftly , otherwise they will see you as submissive and no longer the herd leader. A gentle bump is likely a small request for attention of some kind and can be indulged every so often, just don't give in every time you are bumped or the horse may become spoiled and pushy.

Since a horse can move his head, and not all horses hold their head at the same degree, the withers (or top of the shoulders) are more dependable, because a horse cannot alter the height of his whithers.
