hooky necks

[nootka]

Whoops, I missed the question....Lark was a bit over four months in the pic.

I have some newer ones and plan to try and get some next month w/Liz M.

She has a nice, long, and naturally slender neck!

Here are the ones I have pictures of that show their hooky necks. The horses were pulled right from the pasture for these pictures. Pretty nice I think.

Here is Jinx

Here is Ms. B

Here is Blossom

I have some other horses I think would qualify, I just don't have pictures I think that show it properly.

This is the best picture I have of our favorite mare, Jandts Cheeri Deeri. She is 11 years old in these pictures, in pasture condition (free choice hay, NO SWEATS, 24/7 turn out).

Since my horse seemed to be lumped in with the "not" hooky necks just stretched out to far, I will just take them down.

MinimomNC, I Love your gelding!! What a nice boy, and wish you had some sharper pics to see how pretty he is!!

Many of you have seen this tired picture of the gelding I just sold back to my trainer Dudley, but I still think he's got a great neck!

[SIZE=14pt]To me a hooky neck is one that comes out high from the top of the chest and point of withers and then hooks up and out. There are some of these on the pictures but many that are just long. To me thats not the same. It depends where it comes out of the horse before it snakes forward. Anyone else feel the same way?[/SIZE]

[SIZE=14pt]That's how I see it too, Lyn. I think this is one big thing I have learned with coaching / advice from Erica.[/SIZE]

I also agree. 99% of these have no hooks or "hinges"......just thrusted forward. That is not a hooky neck. But whatever........

Oh well Carol, at least we were able to see part of what was aked for and there are some nice long necks shown. Even when I put my boys pics on I knew he didn't have it hooked but he sure can and does it alot naturally. Thanks everyone for showing some beautiful horses!

I too feel the same, I always imagine a fishhook when looking for that "hooky" neck and there are some wonderful ones on here! Some photo's may not show that "hook" but you can tell it was just a wrong angle and that the horse does have a great neck for it.

I think the show gelding shown by Spotted Pony Girl back on page 5 is a great example! Also I congratulate that one because he is a GELDING and even geldings have great potential! =) I am respecting geldings more and more each day...

I'm glad to see that this thread is still going. Lots of pretty horses with great necks. Thanks everyone!

Heres my TINY 28"-30" sr Mare who will be shown at the World show by my trainer Emily Conder (and me in AMMY :bgrin ). For being so little she has a nice neck and small head (wears a yearling size halter). Cant wait for her little foals in the future!

 

[Buckskin gal]

She is sooooo gorgeous! She is a winner for sure. Mary

Great examples of hooky necks Mulligan's Run with Baylee/Prince and Flying G. They look like hooks! Most of the neck examples I've seen displayed in this thread are of stretched and arching necks. IMHO
