would you....rather have a horse that reared or horse that bronced?

Mine did both, and lept, plunged with his head right between his legs, rein snatched, spin, spin whilst aerbourn, buck, etc etc. But i have to admit i do now have a seat of iron.
I dont like rearers, but am still paying for the leaping and broncing accident 6 weeks ago from when he twigged that if you bronc then do 2 leaps back to back i hit the deck!
So i couldnt tell you which i would rather have!
Well i can..........neither.....i would prefer a nice horse that does none of the above......but if things are too easy.....i would get bored!!
 
Well, I wouldn't have either if it was to a dangerous capacity.

But, having had two horses that do rear, I would prefer that. At least if it was like my last two. Neither were vertical rearers - one reared when she was nervous/unhappy and one does it from excitment, though less and less. It's much easier to predict when a horse is going to rear and make efforts to stop it, than work out when one is going to bronc.
 
Ideally neither but I have a horse that does both. Hasn't reared in ages but still has a mean bronc in her if I don't let her go at the speed she wants.
 
Been there done that with both over the years, and whereas I never used to mind what I rode (I probably preferred being reared with), now I'm perfectly happy admitting that I wouldn't touch either thanks! I've turned far too non-bouncy, and I enjoy my riding too much to risk getting injured by crazy nutcases!
