***Genick höchster Punkt!***

Wie oft ertappt man sich, dass man sein Pferd reitet wie auf dem Foto links?
Wie viel besser fühlt sich der Rücken des Pferdes an, wenn wir es reiten wie auf dem Foto rechts! Der Unterschied ist frappierend!

„Die beste Stellung von Hals unf Kopf ist die, bei der der Hals sich frei aus dem Widerrist erhebt und die Kammlinie in ihrem oberen Teile einen zum Genick sanft gewölbten Bogen bildet, dessen höchster Punkt das Genick ist;…“
(H. Dv. 12)

Leider haben wir uns heute sehr an die Haltung auf dem linken Foto gewöhnt - wie seht ihr das?

***The poll — the highest point!***

How often do we catch ourselves riding our horses like the horse in the photo on the left?
And how much better does the horse’s back feel when we ride like the horse in the photo on the right? The difference is striking!

“The best position of the neck and head is that in which the neck rises freely from the withers and the topline, in its upper part, forms a gently curved arch towards the poll, the highest point being the poll…”
(H. Dv. 12)

Unfortunately, we have become so accustomed to the posture shown in the photo on the left that it almost seems normal today.
What do you think? How do you see it?

King Charles inherited all of the Queen's horses after her death — and within six weeks some of them had been entered for sale.

She owned around 180 horses and ponies when she died, including thoroughbreds in training, brood mares at the Sandringham stud and the fell ponies and Highland ponies she had bred herself, and it was not a hobby but the subject she raised first and knew most about.

They went to her son, and in October 2022, a month after the funeral, fourteen of them were entered for sale at Tattersalls in Newmarket. Among them was Love Affairs, her last winner, at Goodwood, two days before she died, along with Just Fine, the first horse to win in the new King's name.

Tattersalls handled the story briskly, with their spokesman telling the BBC that it was nothing out of the ordinary, that the Queen had sold stock every year and that nobody can keep them all.

Inside racing the mood was less relaxed, and a source close to the royal stud told reporters there was talk of winding the breeding operation down over three years, using a phrase that travelled everywhere, which was that the royal stud could be a museum in three years.

King Charles kept a substantial string, with around sixty racehorses and thirty-eight brood mares at Sandringham, and Queen Camilla took over the stables, with the royal silks back out at Salisbury within weeks. But the scale changed and everybody in the sport noticed, because his mother's interest had been a genuine passion while his has always been described, by her own racing manager, as followed at arm's length.

The one that stayed was Emma, her fell pony, who was led out to stand by the road at Windsor on the day of the funeral as the hearse went past.
