Really there is no chance. Crests unlike coats of arms, are shared by many families, unless the subject matter is very unusual. A horse's head would be very common, and therefore impossible to assign to a particular family.
Sorry.

Thanks, Maurice!! I was afraid that it would be impossible!
Best wishes,

Some names for further research:
The maker of the spoon, as I'm sure you know, was William Eaton. Some further information can be found here:

Thanks, Trev. !!
At least I have only 5 families ! But, even so, it is impossible to know the right one!

Hi Marcondes,
That's probably just a few of them, as Maurice has suggested, there are likely to be many more families that used such a crest.
