Rex Peterson is one of the most committed and talented trainers I've ever met. His abilities allow him to achieve outstanding results especially with "Problem" horses. From dressage to reiners to trail riders his training techniques speak for themselves. It's truly a pleasure to have the opportunity to work with such a passionate horseman that passes on his knowledge.

I have so many things to say. I will send a much more detailed mail later ( little tired LOL)
You can quote me old Barb and many others it would take an act of God for me to ride Buddy today, off my farm and with a trainer I did not know. Well that man is all that and more. THANK YOU for having that clinic.
Can you ask or do you know what that bit was that Rex uses? He told me but I think my mind has melted. LOL
What did you think of Buddy? Isn't he a nice cross breed, very nice looking and athletic to do just about an discipline (sp), my hopes would be dressage with him ( heck we will be GREAT at circles:-))

Thanks so much for inviting me to the clinic yesterday, I learned so much! Rex is not only a great trainer, but also a great, patient teacher. I can't wait to try some of these techniques with "Sunshine" (see below). :)

Rex Peterson can do magic with horses. I've witnessed it, up close. He can think like a horse in order to get through to a horse. He gains a horse's respect immediately. He never abuses that respect, but uses it in the horse's favor. He asks for the seeming impossible and I've yet to see him fail to get it. Did you ever see the horses dancing in BLACK BEAUTY? Or Merrilegs opening the stalls? Or Ginger being mean? Or Beauty trying to get Joe's attention? Each move, each look, each gesture came through Rex. In another of my movies, BUDDY, a chimpanzee rides bareback and bridleless on Rex's great horse, Hightower, and neither of them minds it. By the way, if I have a problem with one of my own horses, he's the first person I call. Hooray for Rex!
