ok.. rollkur!!? I know EVERYONE has been talking bout this.. but I am being like my natural blonde self.. and asking what it properly is!? My understanding is that it's when the horse flexes its neck into a false sort of outline? I did a google of it.. and couldn't find anything I could really understand about it! Ok, apologies for being a numpty asking an out of date question!!

Basically its hyperflexion of the horses neck.. they can't see properly, breathe properly, and end up with bony growths because of the pressure put on the neck and spine.. pointless really.
