Answer:
Kay, Hi! Depending upon the reasons why the horse is rearing......it could be this is a vice it has developed due to learning from doing so in the past that people get off & quit; which if so, will take a professional to correct, simply because working with a vice like this is very, very dangerous. Otherwise, again it is a resistance to moving forward.....from, could be several reasons why......Arabians & Saddlebreds in general are both prone to rearing for evasion of work & going forward. You can try several things to work through with the horse, but realizing that rearing is one of the most dangerous resistances to work with, and truly needs someone that is on hand to beable to view the reasons why this horse is doing so. Before I can answer more in depth, can you provide me with the background of the instances of when this horse has reared, the before, and after scenerios, yada, yada, yada. It is just too dangerous of a vice to work with, and not seeing the why's and wherefore's of the situations. I really recommend having someone who understands horses locally going with you to watch and report what they are seeing before you go any further. Contact me if you can provide more depth on when & what is happening when this happens. Bye, Best Mary, Horse Tips @ Life Tips
