Answer 1

that is not a rear that is a buck a rear is only front hooves off the ground. its kind of like a jump and then a buck like it gives it more stronger buck. I'm sure that's not wat its for but that's wat it looks like.

rearing.  it is a serious vice that is difficult to correct.   horses can go over backwards and seriously hurt the rider.  or if being led they could knock the handler over or even worse come down on top of them.

a horse that rears should be avoided.

If your horse starts bucking real bad you have no chance really so try to dismount but keep a hold of the reins.

If your horse is rearing try to into a very straight jumping position.

***Good Luck with whatever your doing!***

EDIT- And also a kicking horse is just about as bad as a bucking horse.
