Rex Peterson And Cari Swanson Visit Edmund James Salon
Expert horse trainer Rex Peterson, accompanied by top dressage rider Cari Swanson, thoroughly enjoyed their recent salon and spa experience at Edmund James Salon in Wellington. Peterson and Swanson received hair and color services from stylists Derna Lopez and Rebecca Solender. Kristin Kahn was in charge of Swanson’s makeup, while Wendy pampered Peterson with a relaxing massage. Both visitors were impressed with the quality of service they received at Edmund James Salon and promised to visit again soon.
Peterson has over four decades of experience training horses for film. He has become an actor favorite, often sought in Hollywood as a horse wrangler. His best known work includes Black Beauty, The Horse Whisperer, Hidalgo, Flicka, Dreamer, Appaloosa, All the Pretty Horses, The Ring, The Patriot, Buddy, Crazy Horse, Far and Away, Sylvester, Three Amigos, Runaway Bride and The Black Stallion. His tremendous patience, kindness and understanding allow Peterson to train horses to do what others claim is impossible.
Swanson is a United States Dressage Federation silver medalist in Dressage, FEI competitor, eventing competitor through Preliminary, and a graduate of the USDF “L” Education Program for judge training. Swanson trains and sells dressage, eventing, jumper and pleasure horses, and is actively involved in the Horse Rescue, Rehabilitation and Retirement Foundation.
