Tori,
I have a arab gelding who tosses his head.
He does this flippy thing to get his forelock out of the way.HA I just braid it
when I ride.
An older friend of mine,a farrier whom also
raises QHs told me he sees lots of breeds of horses do this. He has QHs who do
it too. What it is in his view is not breed thing but a conformation
thing. Meaning conformation of the horses head.
He said all the horses he sees do this have
small faces with lots of forelock! I guess thats most arabs!
Yup, like a kid with long bangs.hehehe My
father-in-law says he looks like a hippy!
If a horse flips it's head or tosses it's head during riding
it most likely a heavy handed rider not the horses breed. The horse is raising
it's head to avoid the bit. And some horses have lower roofs in their mouths
(not sure I said that right:) ..I had a gelding we could only ride with a bosal
because any bit bumped the roof of his mouth. Then again it would be
conformation not breed.
Tami and Indeed the beat nick
kid!
