I disagree to a point on the thick throat. It can make it difficult for a horse to "collect" itself if they have a throat that is thick or if they don't have enough "room" between bony structures in the jaw and neck to flex.


Perhaps you missed this sentence in my post:

"A thicker throatlatch isn't a fault IMO as long it doesn't hamper airflow."

That would also include a throatlatch thick enough to not be able to flex properly.
