My daughters horse how ever tosses her head when we are on outrides, (especialy early in outride) and she does not want to be on a walk or trot but wants to go faster. This tossing must just be to say that she is not happy walking and needs to get rid of some energy. she then takes her on her bit of a run and all tossing is over. frustrations out and gone.

my horse used to do this allot. I rode him with a standing martingale as the previous owner said I should. I took the martingale off and problem solved.

Ya my horse tosses his head alot with the hackamore…i was thinking it was hurting him somehow because he only does it with a hackamore….it might be to high on his nose…after reading this, i think i know for sure..

I’ve also had head tossing problems, but I’ve checked all of those and the saddle is on correctly and fits, and the bit is a standard snaffle and is fitted to the mouth. My mare still tosses her head could it just be that she is in a bad mood?
