Definition: The forehead is the area between and just above the eyes. Foreheads can be concave, flat or convex. Arabians often have a concave or dished face. Some warmbloods have convex or almost “Roman noses”.
The hollow above the eyes is the sub-orbital depression. In most well cared for horses this will be a shallow depression. Older horses or horses and ponies that have seen ‘hard times’ while have very deep sub-orbital depressions.
