It might depend on if the horse is "neck-reined" or trained to respond to the reins in some other manner.

I think I remember reading that thoroughbred race horses are NOT neck-reined, but I could be wrong.

Maybe race horses in different countries are trained to respond differently to rein commands?

from the always reliable Wikipedia :

Head tossing and turning the head to the outside of the turn are clear signs of bad training and/or faulty rider technique...
