Pepper does that if she is tired and the jump is a bit too much for her.
Her way of telling me she has had enough!
No suggestions apart from sit back. I didn't and had a spectacular fall!

Scally does that when he's about to put in a big buck :rolleyes:
Sit up straight and drive him on with your legs.

Possibly the rein is a bit too tight after the jump and he's telling you.. you're holding my mouth too tightly?
I notice that when others ride, and their riens are too short, sometimes they catch the horse in the mouth, and the horse wants his head back.
I could be incorret, as this is just an observation, but without seeing you ride, I could not be sure of it.
