Re: [RC] help for a rearing horse?? - Chris Paus

That is an extremely dangerous way to try to get a
horse not to rear... a good way to get yourself and
the horse maimed or killed. As much as I love my
horses, they are not worth dying for.

I managed to get the rear out of my horse Zaraf
after my husband pulled him all the way over when he
was rearing.  Next time Z lifted his front feet when
resisting something I pulled on the reins as hard as
I could to "try" to pull him over (my heart in my
mouth!) and he planted those front feet and never
offered to rear again.  

Also had to (before this) pull him over while on the
lunge line for rearing  (This can be dangerous for
the horse--but I made that decision because rearing
is so dangerous to humans).  

A great trainer I know uses a bag of water--breaks
it on the horse's head as he's rearing.  That sounds
safer!

Good luck!
