Re: [RC] help for a rearing horse?? - gary affleck

I've heard of breaking a raw egg on top of their head when they come up.  G.Affleck

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!
