Rearing horses



     Rearing is a VERY dangerous thing.  20 years ago, 3 days after my
husband and I were married, we were bringing in cattle on my
brother-inlaws ranch, n Wyoming, when the green horse reared over on my
husband.  The ground was frozen. This was before helmuts.  He fractured
his skull, in a coma for almost 3 weeks, intensive care for 2 mos.  and
I had to teach him to read and write again.  He still has problems with
word recall and association. Please don't be offended if my husband has
trouble remembering your name.
    If rearing gets to be a problem, I really recommend a trainer!!!
It was because of that accident and I left out the gruseome details,
that had me so scared.  I could not ride for the next 10 years.  I even
tried a hypnotist.  It was 10 years ago that I mustered up the courage
and the help of a trainer and a first 50 miler that got me back in the
saddle.

P.S. Learn the emergency dismount or bail off!!
