what about the horses that are cranked up to force gait. Those are

that developed over time. Does it have the dip also? Is it skeletal

A ewe neck is more than a matter of nutrition, isn't it? I DO think there
is a muscular element to ewe-necks, in that horses may be "developmentally
ewe necked" or "conformationally ewe-necked" - or both. I think all horses
will APPEAR ewe-necked if they

Ok, I went out and tried to mark it...but I think you're going to have to
rent an x-ray machine for me. I'll look through the pictures now and see
what I got.

Sue, can you mark the vertebrae on Brenna's neck so that we can see the S
shape curve?
Karen, can you also do Svertla?

Brenna is a gorgeous horse and well-built and look..a calm eyed, relaxed

Usually by a slight dip in front of the withers. That lets you know
it's a true skeletal ewe neck, as opposed to one caused through incorrect
feeding or training.
Just to add another complication, a "dropped crest" can have that appearance
too, but is actually caused by a really heavy mane p

It may appear to have one due to lack of flesh, but a true ewe neck is
skeletal, not muscle or fat-based.

Let's try to pinpoint the criteria so that we all can understand what a ewe
neck is.
Does a thin horse have a ewe neck?
Does a fat horse not have a ewe neck?

The inverted (upside down) neck (bigger under muscle, and smaller upper
neck muscle) is pretty much par for the course in Icelandic Horses.
I'm not so sure that I would say that ewe necks are "par for the course" in
the breed. I know there are plenty of them, but I can think of a good many
