Hi Tracy:

One of my horses tended to rear when I tried the vosal on him.  He goes in 
a S-hack and that seems to keep his head down, whereas the vosal by pulling 
from the bottom of the chin made him go 'up'.  I could probably ride him in 
the vosal now, but he's happy in the S-hack so I probably won't change.  I 
would not advise putting a vosal on a horse that already had a tendancy to 
rear.  It does work on one of my horses okay, but only if I don't pull on 
it with him, he hates that and is much happier in a rope halter.  The good 
thing with the vosal is that he tries to eat constantly and the vosal makes 
it easy to pull his head up.  He isn't a high headed horse so it works for 
him.
