Fiona demonstrates her talent for trick riding on Goldie with Rex on Mr. T, just back from filming on location in Texas. Seven Days in Utopia (2011) is a new film about a professional golfer who finds himself on a horse ranch and Mr. T had a scene in a rain storm rearing to drop a stunt rider doubling for the principal actress. T is back in New York for another day on Arthur (2011), a film we worked on this summer with Jennifer Garner and Russell Brand.
Hollywood horse, Harbor Mist, is in the upcoming film Secretariat where Diane Lane portrays Penny Chenery, the owner of the famous red horse. The Disney film will be released in October this year, and Harbor Mist will be at the Belmont May 29-30 at the Northeast Equine Expo, come visit Harbor Mist and his trainer Rex Peterson. Rex is a master horseman who has trained horses to perform some stunts many have claimed impossible, including burying a horse alive to jump up out of the desert for a music video. Nothing is impossible but it may take hours to train and will require tremendous trust and patience.
