The item is thrown or placed horizontally?

Tiny Hands), you don't have to drop the Item. In fact, you can't normally discard Items just because you want to. In the case of a curse which no longer allows you to carry an Item, you must treat those Items like extra Big Items if you lose the basic Hireling or your Dwarf Race: If it's your turn, you may sell it (if you have enough to get to 1,000 GP), or you may trade it to another player regardless of whether it's your turn, as long as you and the other player are not in combat. If you can't find a willing person to trade with, you must give it to the lowest Level player who can take it, or discard it if you are the lowest Level.

Since I'm fairly confident that you're talking about Curse! Tiny Hands, you are not allowed to carry 2 Hand Items, so you'll have to find a way to get rid of it as I described above.

To make sure I can't have a Huge Rock then just discard it to equip Unnatural Axe?

You absolutely cannot just discard an Item because you want something else. The 1.5 version of the rules says this explicitly, but it has always been the intent.
