If your horse is really determined to rear, probably not. A martingale is not a good solution however, because it does not solve the problem, it just covers it up, kind of like a bandaid sort of. If you have checked for any paint he horse might be in, like a poor fitting saddle, a wolf tooth, ect. What works really well with rearing horses is when they rear up, pop them right between the ears to make them think they hit their head on something. How long they have been rearing will determine how many times you have to do it before they stop rearing for fear of hitting themselves.

What is the difference between a martingale and breast collar for horses?
A breast collar is used for the sole purpose of helping to keep the saddle from twisting around on a horses back. It helps with horses that don't have very prominent whithers, and barrel racers and other such sports use them because they turn at fast speeds. The breast collar helps prevents the saddle from slipping to the side. A martingale is used when a horse constantly throws his head up, and the rider can't keep a horse's head down, so they use the tool instead of actually training the horse to not throw it's head up.
