Believe it or not, it was Howard (remember him?) who passed that information on.

  I learned something valuable here on RC a few years ago, and I don't
remember who it was that mentioned it. When a horse rears dangerously,
you can mash down on their withers, neck or head with your hand and they
will reflexly tuck their head to get away from the pressure, thus
bringing their front feet back to the ground. It really works, as I have
done it several times.
Some rider's instincts are to pull back on the rein, as a knee-jerk
way of telling the horse to "stop" what he's doing. This, of course can
bring the horse right on over on top of you. You can't buy enough
Bactine to feel better after that.      Dr  Q
