Not tossing.
Phil does this (occasionally) when being ridden, loose schooled and when in the field.
He doesn't shake and I do not believe it is a pollen reaction. When loose in the field, it's normally when he doesn't want to be caught. He 'plays' with me by circling me in canter and might flick his head in what appears to be a playful gesture.
He also does it when I loose school him over jumps, especially if it's something he hasn't done for a while.
He was doing it today whilst ridden (bareback) because it was our first time jumping bareback
Both myself, and my mum see it as a "yes, I did it!" sort of thing. I don't believe he is angry or in pain, and the fact he does it loose leads me to believe it is something playful, but does anyone else have a horse that does this?
