[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 3077"] Jill, I hate to say this, but your horse is doing the one thing that is most dangerouse among riding horses. Rearing up is extremely dangerous to you and is a very difficult behavior to modify. Some horses cannot ever be considered safe once they have started rearing. If the behavior is modified, the horse still sometimes reverts to the behavior if stressed or frightened. You need the assistance of a professional trainer. I've know more than one person who kept a horse that reared and one owner wound up with a fractured pelvis, while the other owner broke her back. Do not get back on this horse until you have your tack and the horse's behavior evaluated by a professional trainer. The problem could be caused by a tooth, or by improperly fitting tack, but whatever the cause, the behavior is one that has to be addressed by a professional. I'm sorry to sound so negative, but please seek professional help and do follow the trainer's advice. > How do I get my 3yr. old gelding > to stop wrearing(sp?) up on me. > Last night he went over backwards. > He just started this. Also he goes > nuts when I have him away from > from my 3yr. old filly any ideas? > Thanks [/QUOTE]
