The moment a horse decides gravity is a suggestion and your spine is collateral.
means The act of rising up on the hind legs, especially of a horse lifting its front hooves off the ground; also, the process of bringing up or raising a child or animal.
from From Old English 'rǣran,' meaning to raise, lift up, or set upright — itself a causative form of 'rīsan,' to rise (the same root that gives us 'rise' and 'raise'). So a horse that rears and a parent who rears a child are, at the bone, doing the same thing: making something stand up. The horse just does it with more drama.
