"Your Horse Rears
This is dangerous and serious. The horse could bump its head or fall over backward - firmly cementing his fear of trailers. You could get hit by a flailing hoof or knocked over. Deal with it in kind by hitting the horse below the knees with your whip, once for every second he's in the air. They learn very quickly that rearing isn't an option. If you feel that this might become an issue, you may want to outfit your horse with leg wraps. Smacking them may not hurt as much - but the very act will tell your horse that rearing won't be tolerated.
The Horse Kicks at the Whip
The phrase "pick your battles" comes to mind. For the most part, you can ignore this. If your horse continues, try bringing his nose sharply toward his hip. Throwing him off balance should send a message. If he's just getting carried away with the kicking, then position yourself at an angle away from the point of his shoulder closest to you (far away from the back legs) and give him one good smack for each kick."

"All you have to do is keep changing directions - for twenty minutes. You can start this exercise at a walk and then at a trot when you feel comfortable.
"The more excited or nervous the horse is, the more important it is for you to not let him go straight. If you take a snaffle bit, which is what you should be riding in, and you pull on two reins, what you do is you just make them smile. That's it. They're going to pick their head up and you're going to pull their cheeks back. That's all that will happen.
"You may want to try this first at a standstill, then at a walk and a trot when you're comfortable. (But it's easier when you start with movement.) Walk your horse out and pick up one rein (not two). Add enough pressure so that the front leg stops but the hips keep moving for two steps. (Stop now and picture that in your mind: You'll be doing a quick "turn on the fore." The front inside leg will stop. The back legs will continue moving around the front, like the hands of a clock.) When the horse takes that second step, release the rein and walk out the other way.
"If the horse doesn't stop, you're not adding enough pressure to stop the..."
