Why do horses rear? Stallions or male horses may rear up and kick at each other to establish dominance - to determine which horse is the boss.

Horses may also rear to get away from something that frightened them or to try to get something - like a saddle or even a rider - off their back.

And occasionally, they rear up and paw the air because they are feeling playful.

Most riders never want their horses to rear. It can result in dangerous falls. But in circuses or for other performances, horses may be taught to stand up in this way.
