An excerpt from "Your Foal: Essential Training for the Young Horse":

To get him used to water from the hose running over his head, turn the H20 on just enough that it continues to lightly pour out even when held directly skyward. Do that little trick with water in your palm, rubbing the horse's head as you approach with the hose. Rub his jowls and under his head and see what you can get away with. Consciously cause more and more water (from your hand, from the hose, from the sponge) to flow over his eyes or down his head. Be careful not to shoot water directly up his nose or in such a way that you'll cause an undue amount to blast into his ear canal. (Adults may be remarkably good at pinning those ears back and closing off access – but we're dealing with a beginner here who has yet to learn all the tricks of self-preservation.) He may very well recoil when the running hose is first held over his muzzle. Deal with that by very quickly passing the hose over his head about one thousand billion times. He might throw his head up, but stick with it even so, spinning with him in the circles he'll no doubt turn. He'll soon realize he's overreacting and drop his head. (Remember, keep up the pressure when he tenses up or moves so as not to sensitize. Keep that pressure till he calms to desensitize. An unnaturally raised or lowered head is a great barometer.)
