*wispers he is a gelding (really ludo but i call him lulu hehe ) *

I'd say he was lovely all of yours!
I think a ewe neck is where there neck looks like more of a U shape? Not sure but i've seen it before, i thought you could only really se it when they are owrking with there head down or on the bit.

Correct me if i'm wrong!

An "ewe neck" ('ewe' as in sheep). The easiest way to explain this is the horse's neck looks disproportinately short and overdeveloped on the underside.

This is bad for two reasons:
1) it usually means the shoulder is quite upright (which means short, choppy action in the front - not fun to ride); and
2) lack of musculature over the topline (which means the horse is carrying itself in a manner that makes it prone to break down)

(its not letting me quote this!)

Not at all I think he is in touch with his feminine side

Haha if you met him you would want to take him home more

Ah thought he had but wasnt sure - thanks for clearing that up

I know he has got a long neck but thats so he can beat other horses over the finishing line haha
