Re: [RC] Rearing - AmyI have a horse who pulls back when he gets afraid although he's much better than he used to be (he also reared over once). But I just had the vet out and when he went to pull back and rear up a little, the assistant tapped him on the forehead. He came back down. When he tried it again, again the tap on the forehead and that was the last time he tried it. I could really see the tap calm him down and get through to him that he didn't need to rear up, very cool and definitely something I am going to remember for the future.Amy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Barbara McCrary" <bigcreekranch@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Bruce Weary DC" <bweary@xxxxxxxxxxxx>; "Ridecamp (E-mail)" <Ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2007 2:04 PM Subject: Re: [RC] Rearing Over 40 years ago, when we bought our eldest daughter her first horse, the horse quickly pulled the trick of not wanting to leave the yard and our other horse. He started rearing. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
