OK i took my sisters horse out for a ride and hekept on putting its head down trying eat or get try to get the hack off so i kept on having to keep his head up and it was very annoying . then when i tried galloping he would just canter i kept on putting presser and presser on and kicking and all he would do is a canter away from the house and it was a very painful canter. then if i turned him tired the house he would go all out with just a little kick grrrrrrrr. anything i can do? he will constantly pull its head down and make me pull up . grrr very annoying . i wish i could just slap him but i know i shouldn't. so what should i do about the problem

First could you speak, or in this case type, in full sentences please? It's kinda hard to read along to.
Secondly, maybe you should try riding in an enclosed area like a riding ring or paddock if there is no fenced in ring.

oooo i just had a thought could this be and idea ok when i put on the heck it always slides down to the top of here nostrol. i had it titer so it would stay on better but my dads friend who is a trainer. when he came over to show me some stuff he lusend the hack so know the nose thingy falls to the top of here nostrol. also the tranier came out befor my sisters horse started having problems.

Hey, Jesse. Sounds like the hackamore is a little too low. My horse used to do the same thing, plod along until he saw the barn, then GO FAST!

What I did with him, and it takes a while, is every time he started speeding towards the barn I would turn him around and ride him away from the barn again. EVERY TIME! We'd spend an hour sometimes doing this but eventually he figured out, Oh if I speed towards the barn I have to work even more. It did work eventually.

Good luck with that and be careful.

Hey what ever you do make him walk back to the barn~no matter how bad you want a fast ride, other wise he will become barn spoiled and won't go fast any where except to home.
I had a quarter horse that decided to poke and i would hold him back with one hand and at the same time with the other hand i would swing a rope IN THE AIR beside me, it would get him all key'd up wanting to get away from that rope and just be for i let him go ide make a click click noise with my mouth , losen the reins and off he'd go, EVENTUALLY WHEN EVER I DROP'D THE REINS HE WOULD TAKE OFF OR if all else fails and you have long reins a little tap on the side of the butt doesn't hurt NEVER EVER HIT YOUR HORSE
