I am a farrier. Some of the best advice I have gotten from the old guys is treat every horse as if it can kill you. He was right. Do that and you will always be reasonably safe.
The first picture you posted, not the one with the horse actually rearing, showed signs of a problem. You must always have the advantage. All my horses are broke to hobble or tie a leg up.

This advice goes for a lot of things; if more treated every tractor job or car trip as if it could kill you more might have survived.
