Okay I know this is strange but while watching some pony episodes with a couple friends from the forums I've noticed there are so many ponies that head shake like crazy. For example:

Well actually many animals that don't have hands shake their heads in a similar manner as that..... Horses specifically will shake their heads if something is irritating that facial area, or if they are mad.

I've seen some comments (elsewhere, on Timone & Pumba, I think it was) that animals are harder to show emotions because of lack of facial features.  They've got to work w what they've got. Plus as NyanDash pointed out, horses do shake their heads a lot.  It means "I'm stressed" or "Don't do that (or else)"

 

I'm not super familiar w horses but I did grow up in the country & learned the hard way "Don't bother Mr Horse if he's acting like that"

Part of the animation style, to be all crazy!

But maybe this only happened in the early season. I noticed a lot of old cartoon animation references in Season 1 and Season 2. In the later seasons however, a lot of new unique animation started to show up!
