I don't mean to be unfair to Ds, but only to report what I hear about them from those dealing with problem animals day in, day out. Perhaps what I should have said is that it is because Ds are intelligent and perhaps have been increasingly been bred to be very flashy & over the top for in-hand showing (again, not all breeders do this) that, if not dealt with correctly they can soon gain the upper hand.
I am only too aware that problem horses are, for the most part, created by their owners/riders - and that applies to breed

One if mine wash a rearer and was exactly like yours, found out after a lot of examinations that she had a suspensory ligament injury.
She would trot along either in school or on road slam on and just launch into an amazing full up rear!!
Get your vet to check him out good
Luck

I think you have a point about the breeding for in hand showing workingcob although there are still some of us that don't. I suspect that those out there doing a good ridden job will not be those that have had a career in hand - the upbringing and training for that come into it as well.

Glad that you have sorted out the problem. Please be aware for your own safety that sometimes you get the odd lapse.. did you figure out why he start to go up?

Yes obviously he's in no way fixed but it's work in progress he had a bit of a relapse yesterday but as I said its no quick fix it's going to take time but we think it was the saddle where this then became a learnt behaviour and as the previous comments say they are dominate animals so it will take time ! he's only five so well get it sorted and be back in the ring next season but no rush for that ! fab, what method did you use to begin progress?

Iv got a 10 year old American quarter horse that rears but this is due to a bad start in life be careful how you try an stop your horse rearing as if you start strapping it's head down it could cause more problems. Iv been told many of times to spin he an strap her down but when trying this she just turns herself inside out an becomes completely oblivious to what's around her. I find a lot if ground work and getting her to trust me has helped a lot although once a horse has reared once it will always have that 'escape' route in its head
