crête

CONT: Raccourcissez instantanément et nettement une rêne (la gauche si vous êtes droitier) et calez votre main sur le garrot ou sur la crête de l'encolure de votre cheval.
PHR: Crête de l'encolure.

CONT: The crest is the top of the horse's neck. It has a long muscle that contracts to raise the head, working with the other muscles in the neck. The mane runs along the top of the crest. In stallions and some specific breeds, the crest gets quite large and thick.
CONT: Stallions are more prone to have more crest along the topline of the neck than either geldings or mares, although the more a horse is worked in certain disciplines, such as dressage, the more the muscle along the topline will be toned up.

PHR: Cresta del cuello.
