Elegant 2 year old TB filly, super mind, started by Rex Peterson, already trained to walk, trot, canter in ring,

hacking cross country, she loves the water and hopping over ditches, she is uncomplicated with excellent

ground manners, very flashy under saddle, 15.2 and growing. Bay is a lovely prospect

for eventing and she is reasonably priced to a good home. Contact cari@cariswanson.com for details.

Bob Woods from One Life to Live hangs out with Danny Aiello, Jared, Vincent and Cari who are handling all the stunts for the latest episode being filmed on location at the Farm.

Rex Peterson has a unique resume, training horses for movies, classical dressage, jumping and eventing. He has the ability to bring out the best in each horse and rider to maximize their performance. Each horse is treated as an individual and he is able to bring out the best in every situation.

I just returned from visiting Rex on the set of the new Hanna Montana movie in Nashville where Miley rides a beautiful gray horse who at one point has to take the wig off her head. It is not natural for a horse to pick things up with their mouths, but Rex has the ability to teach them to do just that. Working with the actors is not always easy, but they all seem to love Rex. Many even demand he be the one on set handling their horses because they know they can trust that he will take care of them.

Take advantage of the unique opportunity to train with Rex when he is here in July. You can teach your horse tricks, solve behavioral problems, or simply improve the communication you have with your horse. Contact cari@cariswanson.com for availability.

Vanessa is already following in her parents hoofprints.

It is never too early to start to ride.
