Secretariat was the Muhamad Ali of racehorses, a brash and charismatic champ and the breakaway winner of the 1973 Triple Crown. In 21 career starts, the big chestnut stallion finished first 16 times and earned a total of $1,316,808. He set a track record of 1:59 2/5 in the 1973 Kentucky Derby, and won the third leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, by an astonishing 31 lengths. After his three-year-old season he was retired to stud at Claiborne Farm in Paris, Kentucky.
Glenn Randall, Sr. Hollywood Horse Trainer
Rex Peterson learned from the greatest horse trainer Hollywood has ever scene, Glenn Randall, Sr. the man who trained the Triggers for Roy Rogers, the horses for Ben-Hur, the last Rex for Gene Autry and many others. Rex knew he had to learn from this master of horses. Upon arrival at Glenn’s ranch with several rogue horses he was given a memorable lesson of mannering a horse quickly and efficiently. Glenn watched Rex rope the horse to catch them, disgusted, he quietly stepped over and began to whip break the horse in less than an hour, teaching each horse to obediently follow him around the arena. This was a life changing moment as Rex realized he must study with this Master. Many people came and went, but Rex stayed the longest. Glenn would sit in his swivel chair barking commands, not allowing any dialogue while training, but open to discuss any of his methods and techniques at the end of the day. To this day Rex claims he knows only a fraction of the knowledge Glenn possessed.
Currently Rex is developing a TV program for RFD-TV and is continues to work on films. Take advantage of the rare opportunity to train with Rex in a clinic at Windrock Farm, contact Cari to schedule a session. There has never been a horse Rex could not improve.
Learn to Put Your Horse’s Head Down for Easy Bridling and Handling
This uniquely designed tool, the Sugar String will help you teach your horse to put his head down whenever and where ever you ask him to. Designed by Rex Peterson as an easy and humane way to teach a horse to drop his head and open his mouth for effortless bridling and clipping around the head. Taken to an extreme, the Sugar String can help teach your horse to walk next to you with his nose at your ankles. In the movie Dreamer, the horse had to walk next to Dakota Fanning, the kid and safely keep his distance. He also learned to carry her backpack and nudge her gently along. Everyone wants a well mannered horse, and this tool is ideal to train your horse to drop his head and become submissive to you on command. Check it out on the following web site!
