What is a bull neck?

A bull neck is an excessively short and thick neck - one that resembles the neck of a cow. It's actually considered desirable in pulling horses (the collar sits better), but undesirable in riding horses as the horse finds it harder to balance.


This rather scruffy Mongolian horse has a bull neck - and a very pretty saddle. Image source: Latebird via Wikimedia Commons.
