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.
