[RC] Over bent? - katswig@xxxxxxxxxxxxxOk, from the saddle, how can you tell over bent. Generally speaking, a horse is over bent if the highest point of its neck is not the poll, but rather the crest. So...from the saddle...if you can't see the top of the horse's head right between the ears, your horse is over bent. If you want to see a picture of what it looks like, just look through just about any magazine that has pictures of show horses (including _Dressage Today_) as almost all the horses shown will be over bent, including both the horses shown on the lower portion of both these web pages: http://www.equisearch.com/sports/ http://www.equisearch.com/sports/dressage/ And the only one shown on this web page: http://www.equisearch.com/sports/western/ kat Orange County, Calif. -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web - Check your email from the web at http://mail2web.com/ . =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
