Expert Horse Trainer, Rex Peterson
Nothing is impossible. Can't does not exist. You will try or you won't try are the only options, everything is possible.
- Rex Peterson
Rex Peterson brings 50 years of experience working with horses, riders, and a wide range of riding styles - Western, English, Dressage, Trick Riding (from the age of 7-24 around the world), Rodeo, Driving, and Harness - in both the movie industry and with private clients.
With over four decades of experience training horses for film, Rex has become an actor favorite, often sought after in Hollywood as the horse wrangler. His best known work includes Black Beauty, The Horse Whisperer, Hidalgo, Flicka, Dreamer, Appaloosa, All the Pretty Horses, The Ring, The Patriot, Buddy, Crazy Horse, Far and Away, Sylvester, Three Amigos, Runaway Bride and The Black Stallion.
His tremendous patience, kindness and understanding allow Rex to train horses to do what others claim impossible.
Rex believes all problems with horses are made by man, as the horse is born a blank chalkboard and everything the trainer writes on the board both good and bad. Rex is an expert at fixing problem horses, often taking in horses other trainers give up on and teaching them to be gentle and useful in their discipline.
In a world where most trainers focus on one discipline, Rex is unique in that he can improve any horse from any area of the horse world. Rex loves a challenge. Once he was told it was impossible to hook up a team of ten horses with four, three, two and a leader. He went out and successfully built the team. Another time he was given a talented show jumper that had a wicked stop in him, Rex re-schooled him to jump a pick-up truck for a movie and when the main cast horse was unable to perform in the show jumping scene, this horse went in and jumped around clean. There are countless stories of horses such as these that Rex taught to perform at a high levels of performance safely and consistently.
