I was always told that you want a horse with a long neck, but I have to say, my horse has a shorter thicker neck and now that I have it, I think I prefer it. Relative to horses with a longer neck, he very rarely curls or comes behind the bit and if he isn't on the bit, he is above the bit, which I always think is a preferable problem to curling. Probably the main draw back is that his neck can be quite strong if he wants to use it against me, but regardless I think it is a good tradeoff.
Those are my thoughts on it, what do you guys think about longer versus shorter necks? Do you agree with traditional logic on this conformation trait?
