I think we may be getting into a semantics issue, but I'd like to see my horses relaxed and free enough to be ABLE to move/flex/rotate/even "tip" their heads in any way they - or I - see as needed for the tasks at hand. But that doesn't mean that I think the horse should be "tipping" his head as a sign of resistance, or as in seeking relief. Does that make sense, and seem right?
