Best Answer

The theory behind the higher head carriage for hunt seat riding is if your going over fences and hedges (example:fox hunting) you want your horse's head up and paying attention. I don't want to take my horse over a fence, even a low one, if his head is not up and his eyes not forward. It is dangerous for horse and rider both. The lower head carriage is the product of the modern show ring style. Too low is not good for anyone.
