As part of the third weeks assignment, I choose to analyze the article Rearing (Horse). All elements throughout the article appear relevant to the topic horse rearing, no distractions. Overall the article appears relevantly neutral, though it more so discusses rearing as undesired and having a negative impact for humans, this negative viewpoint to rearing is overrepresented. Rearing is sometimes an action desired by specific persons such as trainers. This article has no citations, which are characteristics of an acceptable and well written article. References are not given, no facts are properly referenced which is again not proper due to lack of knowledge as to where information was obtained from and how reliable it is. Not enough information is given to know if information discussed in this article is outdated. Information is provided on cause of and solution to horse rearing, though more information could be provided on how to handle a horse that deliberately rears frequently, it fails to mention that many need specialized training and is quite generalized about this topic. On the talk page, not much has been discussed or questioned besides how high a horses legs have to be off the ground to be considered rearing. It's discussed in the talk section that as long as both are off the ground and the horse is in place it is considered rearing and how controlled rears do exist, such as the levade.^[1] The article is rated as start class on the projects quality scale and rated as low importance on the importance scale. It is part of WikiProject Equine ^[2] Wikipedia discusses this topic differ from the way we've talked about it in class due to not as much generalized information provided.
