Can a horse burst if it falls over?
No, a horse can't nor will not burst if it falls over. A horse is much tougher than you might think, and certainly isn't like a fragile ceramic dish or decoration. There is enough cushioning of the body and organs that a horse can get back up again and keep going without any substantial injuries, as long as its legs are not broken in the fall. The most a horse as risk of breaking when falling is its legs.
How do you get a horse to stop pawing when the horse is in cross ties?
Horses that paw the ground, stomp their hooves, or kick their back legs are usually acting up because they are bored. To keep a horse busy, give them something to do such as a haynet to eat from. If you aren't interested in feeding your horse, try petting, grooming, or tacking it up so that the horse doesn't feel as if you are ignoring it. You can teach it a "stand" command to teach it to stand still. You could also reprimand them with a "no!" and a slap when they paw. If nothing else, you can hobble it. This would have a double effect. For one, it would stop the pawing problem, and for another, it would make the horse more submissive to you.
