The crest, or what is considered the first 1/3 of the horse's topline, it the top of the neck mostly where the mane grows. It starts at the poll, the point right behind the horse's ears, where the bridle headstall rests when the bridle is on. It goes down the top of the neck to the withers.
If you have a horse that tends to carry extra weight this crest can get hard and somewhat convex where it should look flat. Draft breeds have convex crests and this is how you can compare your horse's crest. If he is starting to look like a Shire or Clydesdale he is probably getting too much food or food too rich for his needs.

When should a palm rest be used?
I have never heard of a palm rest before but it sounds like it may be a crest release. A crest release is used when jumping a horse. As the horse extends his neck and rounds his back the rider's hands need to move forward with the reins so the horse can stretch his neck and jump correctly. There are 2 types of crest releases, a short and long. Small jumps require only a short crest release. As the jumps get taller and wider the horse needs to stretch his neck more so the rider's hands must 'give' more. If you look at any picture of hunters or jumpers you will see the rider off the horse's back with the hands forward on the neck. Failure to do your crest release will 'bump' your horse's mouth and he may be less than willing to jump again if his mouth is hurt.
