Horses 'prone' to doing this wear a flipping halter/harness to prevent it.
No it's not. It's when, say, two horses are disputing favouritism, one is slight favourite, then the other takes over, then back again....so on and so forth.

"No it's not".

Yes it is.
I've just googled too and yes it is.
Thank you Naz
One site says its a halter, Debora Johnson on racing terms says its a jockey flipping back his food.
