Horse "foaming at the mouth" What does that mean when you see it?

Clear as mud. Look at how the rest of the horse is acting Relaxed, or fighting the jock?

She looked great. Very relaxed walking the ring, Ears perked, strutting her stuff and calm in the stalls. She came over with the others running in the 6th race today but as they went into the stalls she walked the ring again. Then they put her a few stalls away from those running. When they left they saddled her, walked the ring again and came back into the 6th stall for a few minutes where she'll be for the Haskell.

RA seems to handle things pretty well. She generally schools in the paddock a day or two before racing but never seems to show signs of stress. She looks around, chews the bit and generally chills out.
Froth is not a concern. My mare goes in a rubber bit with apple flavoring in it and slobbers up a storm when were have a good lesson. She's a happy and healthy mare who like RA just looks around with ears pricked but never seems too worried by anything she sees.
