Equine VIP followed up on its well received coverage of the North American Police Equestrian Championships. The episode was viewed by so many fans, we chose to interview “Bombproof Your Horse” author, Rick Pelicano. Rick’s book points out some basic training tips that work successfully for the Mounted Police Officers when training their special horses.
Horse Whisperer, Dreamer and Hidalgo are just a few of the movies Rex Peterson has worked on, and not as an actor! Rex is the horse wrangler on all these films no small undertaking. Rex may have to teach his horses to perform on cue, but he also has some great advise you’ll want to hear like “training starts the minute you put on your horse’s halter” and why repetition is the key to training any horse.
Rex resisted making videos but you’ll be glad he changed his mind and want to learn more from this horse trainer extraordinaire.
JUST ADDED! Rex’s interview for Horse Digest Magazine. See what Hidalgo star Viggo Mortensen has say about Rex Rex-Peterson.pdf
Arianne Zucker plays mischievous “Nicole Walker” on the popular TV Soap Opera “Days Of Our Lives” but in real life she is also a devoted equestrian. Like many equestrians riding is a chance to feed her soul and find unity with her horses.
Equine VIP caught up with Arianne to meet her two horses “Syracuse” and “Albateeh”. Arianne rescued “Syracuse” from an auction and a series of injuries and “Albatteh”is a Grand Prix horse from Belgium. Arianne has dreams she may one day ride a Grand Prix with him.
