a horse swings its head side to side because it may be that the horse is trying to get flies away from their face, so you could invest in a fly mask that would stop them from irritation. you can find these in any tack store.
Along with the above answer another reason a horse may be swinging it's head is due to a 'stable vice' called weaving. typically a horse who weaves is bored and is trying to stimulate itself in any way possible. There are two forms of weaving, one involves just the head, the other involves the horse switching it's weight from one front foot to the other. The best thing to do is investigate when the horse does this behaviour and what may be causing it, from there you can look for ways to stop the behaviour. If it is true weaving then the horse will need more stimulation, such as more turnout or more hay throughout the day.

How to restrian a horse?
There are a number of ways you can restrain a horse, you can use a horse chute, have two people on either side of the horses head holding the horse so it wont move from side to side. You can have someone hold the horse standing on the opposite side of the side of whoever is doing the work. When restraining horses a smaller area is best, if you try to work with them in a large are than they will just find more ways of escaping. Hope that this helps.
