The most likely reason is the horse is working very hard and is flecking saliva foam around his muzzle. This is generally a sign that the horse will need a break from work shortly, although you should keep the horse walking around until its skin cools down, its respiratory rate drops back to normal and it stops spitting the foam out.
A very rare reason would be rabies, although horses tend to get the dumb form rather than the furious form. However, it's still a good idea to have your horse vaccinated against rabies yearly.
To add to the two very good reasons above, a horse may also foam at the mouth after ingesting clover. Clover can have a type of fungus on it that causes salivation which can become foamy.
