Re: [RC] whack em?? - Bette LamoreWell, BonnieSounds like you answered the question, "Does it work?" Now I guess the remaining question is, "Was he a purebred or a half-Arab???" ;-) Bette MtnRondi@xxxxxxx wrote: I've been reading about hitting the horse over the head versus not hitting him if he rears. I had a horse that would rear, but not often. Usually when something startled him or he just was having a bad day. One day I was riding him on a narrow tree lined trail when a deer popped out of the bushes. He reared and hit his head on a tree branch. At the same time, my helmet hit the branches and made a terrible sound. He never ever reared again after that. So I guess a boink on the head really does work. -- Bette Lamore Whispering Oaks Arabians Home of 16.2h TLA Halynov who lives on through his legacy Hal's Riverdance! http://www.arabiansporthorse.com Always remember: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
