The Rearing Horse is an iconic pose of a horse rearing back so its front hooves are off the ground. It is used in movies because it is so dramatic, being the organic equivalent of performing a wheelie on a motorbike. It looks wild, powerful, liberating, and, yes, cool. It ends up appearing in many cowboy movies, historical movies and European coats of arms. In heraldry, the pose is referred to as "rampant" and is so popular that it is applied to pretty much any four-legged animal, including lions, wolves, and even mythological creatures like griffins. Technically, in heraldry, a rampant animal will stand on its left hind leg, with the three other legs elevated off the ground. The rearing pose also appears on some equestrian statues, although contrary to popular myth, the horse's pose has no relation to how the rider died. In real life, it's a Very Bad Thing, and only experienced trainers should even get on a horse with a rearing habit (although there is a difference between an actual rear and several of the dressage moves known as the "Airs Above the Ground").note One is on command, and one is not. This difference is important. There is an important physical difference too, to do with the angle above the horizontal at which the torso is held: in the Airs, the horse remains well-balanced and in control of its movements, with the body held low over bent legs so it'll fall forward. In a rear, everything goes up near-vertically on a very narrow base, and is prone to toppling, especially if the horse is agitated. It is very easy to cause a rearing horse to fall over backwards on top of the rider, which can easily lead to serious injuries or even death. note When it comes to shooting these moments in films, stunt horses can be trained to rear on command; as this is a commanded behavior rather than a panic response, it's more controlled and less dangerous. It's still generally not recommended for inexperienced riders. Often combined with Stab the Sky or Sword Pointing. |

Happens in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King when Aragorn and his army are at the Black Gates at the end of a Rousing Speech. According to the DVD Commentary, this happened entirely by accident, but Viggo Mortensen stayed on the horse and it looked good so they kept the shot. | |

When you finish a stage as Link using the Sword weapon in Hyrule Warriors, during the victory cutscene, he jumps onto Epona's back as she runs past at full gallop, and then has her rear as he brandishes his sword. Ironically, the victory cutscene for the Horse weapon is far more sedate. | |

This happens in some of the critical hit animations in the Fire Emblem series. Fridge Logic ensues when you realize that even more damage could be done if the horse reared and pummeled the opponent in the middle of the attack, rather than the beginning. Bizarrely, even pegasi (i.e. flying horses) do this sometimes. | |

Parodied in The Tamuli with a minor character who rears his horse for dramatic effect, thinking it makes him look cool. The main characters immediately declare it cliché. Done by Sparhawk during his goodbye to Lilias, again for dramatic effect as he is trying to impress her neighbors. The others call him out for it. |

Copies of Black Beauty sometimes display this trope on the front cover. Beauty himself is far too polite for such misbehavior. The pony Merrylegs, on the other hand, lets his infant riders know when he's had enough by gently rearing so they slide off his back onto the grass. | |

Deconstructed in The Saddle Club. At one point, Lisa tries out a new horse who ends up being incredibly badly behaved; when he rears up one day while she's riding him, she realizes his issues are beyond her skills to resolve. The seriousness of the behavior is driven home a few scenes later, when he does in fact overbalance and fall backwards, mangling his saddle — a saddle that Max and Lisa had just pulled a younger rider out of moments earlier. note Lisa had tried to warn the younger rider that the horse in question was dangerous, but he didn't listen and tried to ride him anyway. | |

The Legend of Zelda: Like Wander above, Link can command his steeds to do this Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild. Twilight Princess also has several other instances of the trope: After Link has defeated King Bulblin in a joust on Eldin Bridge, Epona rears up on her hind legs in a Victory Pose, with Link brandishing his sword and the curtain of Twilight rippling in the background. There's a moment which should be cliché, but somehow isn't, where Ganondorf rears up on his horse surrounded by fire in contrast to Link with Epona in the sunset. Amusingly, spurring a Bulbo to a gallop results in this trope as well. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome ensues when Link utterly fails to keep his ass in the saddle, loses his grip on the reins, and spends the entire charge hanging onto the ridge of the saddle for dear life. Happens as well on the title screen from Ocarina of Time. When you finish a stage as Link using the Sword weapon in Hyrule Warriors, during the victory cutscene, he jumps onto Epona's back as she runs past at full gallop, and then has her rear as he brandishes his sword. Ironically, the victory cutscene for the Horse weapon is far more sedate. In addition, one of the Horse weapon's Heavy attacks has Epona rear and flail her hooves, nailing any enemies in the vicinity multiple times. |

Game of Thrones: When Daenerys has to have her White Stallion killed as a blood sacrifice in an attempt to save her husband's life, the horse rears and whinnies in fright as she leads it into the tent where the sorceress waits. Inept squire Podrick Payne finally manages to get control of his horse after losing control of it during a Chase Scene, only for the horse to rear and throw him into the river. The knights who've been chasing Pod ride up and find him not only without a horse, but without a weapon (given that his axe is strapped to the horse). Only Brienne's intervention saves his life. |

In The Elder Scrolls Online, can be done by pressing the spacebar if the horse is standing still. If you are in combat and take enough hits, the horse will rear and knock you off. | |

House of the Dragon: Downplayed and more realistic in the pilot: instead of full rearing, Daemon and Criston's horses do the "airs above the ground" just before they clash with each other in the joust. Notably, it is only these two horses shown doing so, possibly for both Rule of Cool and Played for Drama. | |

Parodied during the credits of the first season of Blackadder. After a montage of Blackadder riding (and chasing) his horse swiftly across the countryside to dramatic music, the horse rears up... and Blackadder falls off. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: The ponies sometimes rear without a rider (it's not like they usually have one) as a kind of stock gesture, but they're so diminutive that it tends to look more cute than impressive. Fluttershy takes this stance to gear up for her final cheering attempt in the opening scene of "Sonic Rainboom." Twilight Sparkle obliges Spike by doing this when they go off to rescue Rarity. During the Season 1 finale "Best Night Ever", Fluttershy goes a little off in the head and starts Chewing the Scenery... In "Luna Eclipsed", Luna enhances the dramatic effect of this trope by thrusting one of her front legs skywards when rearing. Then a lightning bolt strikes. This may have been her intent. In "Too many Pinkie Pies" one of Pinkie's clones does this while being ridden by another Pinkie clone. Rarity appears to know kung fu, or a pony equivalent. She is not shy to use it, should the situation call for it — ask the changelings she punched in the jaw (with a small smile of enjoyment, it should be said). Naturally, the stances have her forelegs in the air. In "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", a giant-sized Derpy cannot resist doing a showy "rearing pegasus" move when Dragon Knight Spike chooses her as his steed. A silhouette of a caped foal in this stance makes up the Cutie Mark Crusaders' unofficial symbol. |

Doctor Who: The horse the cheetah rides in "Survival". Yes, the horse the cheetah rides. Note: During filming, the stunt man couldn't get the horse to rear, or do anything else, but the actress playing Karra could. It turned out that the horse hated men. In "Last Christmas", Santa Claus (yes, that Santa) does this on Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer after doing a Big Damn Heroes. Weaponized in "The Masque of Mandragora". When the City Guards try to detain the Doctor, he produces a football fan's rattle and whirls it to startle the horses, causing them to rear and dump their riders so the Doctor can ride off on one. |

The horses of Star Stable will rear if you press X to stop them really fast instead of slowing down gradually with S; this is never treated as a training problem as it would be in real life. Your horse may also rear if you run into things, but this is slightly more understandable (especially since smashing into things at a full gallop will take out half your horse's HP, so you know it hurts). | |

Highlander. Connor MacLeod's first sight of The Kurgan is when he rides up clad in dark, bone-like armour on a black horse which rears before Connor, who can only gasp "Mother of God!" at the sight of this terrifying Black Knight. Connor catches a glimpse of him earlier doing the same thing, as a silhouette on a clifftop whose horse rears in response to a bolt of lightning. | |

Done in the intro of the Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust movie, posing in front of the hugeass moon, right after catching an arrow in flight. Just to show how cool and badass D was. For bonus point it was a cyber horse with horns. And to make it even cooler, his cape flies up to form the shape of a massive pair of bat wings. | |

Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning's Eidolon transforms into a horse, which does this in an official image without a saddle or reins, or the rider having arms around the horse's neck (possible with strong legs and good balance, but in Lightning's case it's more likely that she's using her gravity manipulation device). | |

In Durarara!!, Celty's horse does this all the time. Of course, said horse is a magical spirit typically in the form of a motorcycle, and Celty herself is a Dulahan (a Headless Horseman), so they can both do whatever the hell they want. | |

In "The Wallenstein Gambit", a Grantville American is leading the defense of Prague (on a borrowed horse) one of the other Americans tells him to do this to inspire his troops. He flat out refuses (being a decent rider, but a 50-odd year old jeweler) but he does agree to wave his plumed hat. | |
