Science - Zoology / horse anatomy
English term or phrase: crest
As seen in the following picture (please click below):
http://www.examiner.com/equestrian-in-national/horse-anatomy...

The **crest** of the horse is located at the upper arch of the equine’s neck. Usually, the horse’s mane flows from this point on down his neck.

Thanks a lot for your help :)

La crête de l'encolure s'oppose à la crête trachéale, absente chez les équidés, mais présente chez les bovins. C'est sur la crête de l'encolure que s'insère la crinière, comme le dit le texte.
