The poll is located at which part of the horse?

• A. Top of the head
• B. Under the jaw
• C. Behind the ears
• D. At the withers

Answer: (A)

The poll is the highest point of the horse’s head, located on top of the skull between the ears where the head meets the neck. That makes it the top of the head. The other options refer to areas lower or farther back: under the jaw is the throat region, behind the ears is just behind the top of the head, and at the withers is down along the neck where it meets the back.
