TWH, Head held high?

Im just wondering, but a friend of mine has a TWH, I was watching a video of her riding her around barrels.
The video had a really bad quality and it looked like the horse wasnt given much room to move it's head. So I simply said the following

Than she went and said

And on her status she went and got mad and said this
So I simply went and asked her if that was directed towards me and she told me that it was and she was pissed off.

So to pretty much calm her down and tell her im not trying to make her riding seem bad


ANYWAYS completely off topic, but I thought I should explain thing's about why I am posting this question, but do TWH's naturally hold their heads up heigh, even when being ridden ?

I simply saw the video and saw very little rein given to the horse, but I never met her horse and the quality was not very good.


Sorry for the novel, cookies for those who read this :)

Depends on the horse. Sunny holds his head higher, but tucks his nose in as well. Whereas Simon holds his pretty low and collected. Depends, I guess.

But yeah. You will probably see many TWHs holding theirs higher than a normal horse. To be honest, I'm not quite sure why.

Conformationally, her neck may be set higher. TWHs are not built like a QH or a TB, whose necks sit more in front than up.

Oh okay, alright thank you both

Here's an example. Higher, yet controlled and tucked in head.
