ewe + necked

Adjective

ewe-necked (comparative more ewe-necked, superlative most ewe-necked)

  1. Having a neck like a ewe's; said of horses in which the arch of the neck is deficient, being somewhat hollowed out.
    • 1831, William Youatt, The Horse
      A ewe-necked horse is exceedingly unpleasant either to ride or drive, for the neck, low set on, instead of being nicely arched, and thus affording a proper resting-place for the bit on the bars of the mouth, is carried straight out, and the head high, and such horses are in the habit of throwing up their heads suddenly []
