Behind the Silver Screen Hollywood Horse Trainer Rex Peterson Clinic at Windrock Farm in Dutchess County July 15-17, 2008

Rex Peterson has trained many horses for film including Hidalgo, Horse Whisperer, Black Beauty, Appaloosa and many more.  Rex has an amazing talent working with horses with patience and consistency, developing a strong bond with each horse.

“For the last 35 years people have often seen a western movie and asked themselves this question, “how did they get the horse to do that?” Like any good relationship once you have the trust, communication, respect, and knowledge, you can accomplish almost anything” says Rex Peterson.

Do you have a specific challenge: loading, unruly behavior, or starting a young horse? Or do you just want to have fun learning more about a more positive partnership with your horse?

If your goal is to learn how to work with your horse in a more consistent way with better control, less fear and clearer understanding, then this clinic is for you.
