Hollywood Horse, Trigger with Roy Rogers
Trigger and all of his doubles were trained by the great horseman, Glenn Randall, Sr. Rex had the honor to learn from this master horse trainer for nearly two decades. Glenn could train a horse to do anything, including “empty out” on command. This video is a great tribute to the legendary horse and his partner.

Driving Three-Up in California
There are many ways to teach a horse to drive, but the fastest and safest is to put the novice horse in between two seasoned driving horses who will tell him what to do. He will have no choice but to turn when the others turn, stop when they stop and move forward with them. They quickly learn the best choice is to get with the program. Tyler, Ryan, Rex and I drove across the valley in Tehachapi. Click here for more information on how to train your horse.

Know the Eventing Rules for Your Level
Remember the film Sylvester? This was a famous horse film from 1985 about a young girl who becomes a successful eventing athlete with her gray horse. Several horses trained by Rex Peterson played the role of Sylvester. Supertramp was the amazing show jumper seen here sailing over a very wide truck. He came from the show jumping world because he refused to jump in spite of his amazing talent. Rex re-schooled him for the film, helping him find his confidence again. This film inspired many young riders to compete in the world of eventing.
As you prepare for the eventing season, it is important that you study the new rules and be prepared for your competitions. Take this down time in the winter to read the new rules.
And go out and rent Sylvester if you have not seen it in a while to inspire you for the new season.
