I have a 3yo mare that has a crested neck, it is not broken. This started last year when she was overweight. Over the winter, I was able to get her weight down, now her neck is "wiggly". She is an easy keeper, she can gain weight by breathing LOL. When she walks, I can see it move back and forth. I have trimmed down her bridle path, and that did not help. She is at a good weight now, I would not want her to lose more.
Please give any advise you have to offer. I was told to work her on a lunge line instead of the round pen in hopes to build up her neck muscles, so I have started that (hasn't been long enough to see results). I feed her a moderate amount of hay, and a total of 1 1/2 cups of sweet feed daily. I only show her in halter obsdtacle, so I am not trying to acheive perfect results, only to keep it from breaking. Thanks for your help and opinions.
