I said whack 'em.One of the reasons I monitor Ridecamp is that the
endurance folks are about the best all-around horse people.
Roy, how many times have you read where ANY one
from RC recommended
whacking anything??
I agree that rearing is dangerous. I am sure
that you are not a troglodyte, but your method is barbaric, at best.
Violence, is never the best way. If you have a horse that is that *wild*,
you need to turn the situation over to someone else.
I'm gonna guess the reason the two horses you
mention didn't give any more grief to the owner was because they
were BRAIN DEAD!
Note to self. Do NOT buy a knot-headed horse.
Previous rearer. Now brain dead.

If I EVER see anyone beating a horse like that,
the situation will get very ugly. I promise.
