Teaching Kids to Ride Safely with Confidence
As a result of working in film for nearly 4 decades, Rex Peterson has designed several products to make horse training more efficient and safe. The Neck Rope designed and made by Rex Peterson can be used for many purposes, including ponying kids on their first few trail rides across country. It is important to get out of the arena as soon as possible for the rider as well as the horse. You can see in this video how easy it is to control the pony when he speeds up or wants to turn the wrong direction. This method allows the kid to feel the independence of riding while having a safety line for any errors.

Brownie Wins NJ Horse Park Judged Trail Ride
Brownie ridden by Joa Sigsbee wins his first attempt at a judged trail ride at the NJ Horse Park. He proves his willingness and athletic prowess by successfully maneuvering around many obstacles such as dragging an alligator behind him in the water obstacle, allowing his rider to lasso a steer, playing stick ball with a large excercise ball, walking through a curtain of rope, walking over a tarp and strange piece of material, being flagged from the ground and allowing Joa to mount and dismount in the middle of the course among many other strange and unusual obstacles. He proved his willingness and kind attitude toward negotiating all of the tasks required, achieving the highest score of all the junior riders. Check out the alligator water obstacle

“Secretariat” Back in the Press with New Disney Film
Pete Axthelm, who never saw a racetrack he did not wish to attend, glided across the typing turf.
“Secretariat generates a crackling tension and excitement wherever he goes,” Axthelm wrote. “Even in the kind of gray weather that shrouds lesser animals in anonymity, Secretariat’s muscular build identifies him immediately; his glowing reddish coat is a banner of health and rippling power. Magnificent enough at rest … when he accelerates … he produces a breathtaking explosion that leaves novices and hardened horsemen alike convinced that, for one of those moments that seldom occur in any sport, they have witnessed genuine greatness.”
Rex Peterson is the Horse Trainer on “Secretariat” currently filming on location.
