Ramskopf
The head of a mammal with an outwardly curved head or nose is called ram's head (from the English ram : ram). The expression is mostly used for domestic horse breeds . These conformation characteristics are common in draft horses and baroque horses . The opposite of the Ramskopf is the pike head with an inwardly curved forehead.
There are also some breeds of sheep that are downright ram-headed. Examples of this are the Border Leicester and the Wensleydale .
