DEF

Conformation fault in which the neck appears to be "upside down", concave along its upper edge with a consequent bulging of muscles along the lower edge.

CONT

The ewe neck is the one whose underneck shows a considerable bulge, while its topline shows a dip in front of the withers.

CONT

As a horse that had only "run left for a living," he was very stiff to his right, and his strong "Ewe" neck made him look like a camel.

CONT

The mule had a short camel neck and rafter hips.

OBS

The term ewe-necked refers to a neck that appears to be put on upside down and a horse with a swan-neck has a very long neck, usually with excessive bend similar to a swan, from which the term is taken.
