Hello, I posted an earlier thread that asked advice on a breeding direction. I was asking for a stallion suggestion to compliment my current horse breeding and have rec'd some additional info. I was told if the horse has a short neck it is a barrel prospect and if it has a long neck it is a reining/racing prospect. Is this an accurate statement? I have not heard this advice before.:?

Any horse no matter the discipline can have long or short. It more depends on breed type. What breed were you refering to? I don't get on here all day I haven't seen your posts. Naturally you'd want it to be long but not excessively long. A short neck is a little harder to balence. I read it a while back. Just have to look it up though.

Basically a medium size so to speak. It needs to blend in with her. :) usually I look at three sections but I like the over all look.
