🐴HOW OFTEN IS THE POLL THE HIGHEST POINT OF THE NECK IN MODERN DRESSAGE COMPETITION?🐴

The 2025 FEI Dressage Judging Manual states (page 3, point 5) that...

"The head should remain in a steady position, as a rule with the nose line slightly in front of the vertical, with a supple poll as the highest point of the neck, and no resistance should be offered to the Athlete."

There are 11 further references that the poll should be the highest point.

🐴IS ANYONE ACTUALLY CONFUSED ABOUT WHERE THE POLL IS ON THE HORSE?🐴

The 26th edition (2025) of the FEI Dressage Rules (page 47, 2.1.2) states....

"The crownpiece of the bridle must lie immediately behind the poll and may extend forward onto the poll but must not be fitted to lie behind the skull."

Debbie Symes (Sports Science Graduate, Dressage Coach and Advanced Dressage Rider) and myself have written an article on this exploring this issue in greater detail which is OPEN ACCESS - https://askanimalweb.com/the-poll-or-not/
