Sponsoring Mounted Search and Rescue Training

Mark Peterson, wild life behaviorist, tracker and horseman, is "Breaking the Language Barrier" in the animal world, far exceeding widely-held beliefs on animal intelligence and capacity for language and communication.

Mark and Dusty will not only demonstrate search and rescue riders a softer, gentler style of communication, but a number of maneuvers to help calm their horses on the trail.


The second benefactors are the families of the Ronald McDonald Houses. Mark and Dusty absolutely love to visit the kids. The kids love receiving hugs, kisses, autographs and stuffed toys all from Dusty himself!

The press and media are always there to publicize this incredible gentle giant that does what NO other horse can do. Wouldn’t you or company like to be an integral part of this team?


Imagine you or your company name mentioned and thanked in interviews on TV, Face Book posts, and other write ups such as websites, newspapers, and magazines. With almost 4000 fans on Dusty’s Fan Page alone, the exposure and possibilities for you and your company are unlimited.

As an on camera representative


Meet Mark Peterson and Dusty, together this dynamic duo not only entertains people with their antics wherever they go, but also demonstrates this horse’s phenomenal ability to perceive human language.

In fact, Mark Peterson and Dusty are rewriting horse training and setting new standards for communication between humans and animals. Dusty’s exceptional grasp of the human language and ability to use tools are challenging widely held beliefs about animal intelligence and capacity for language and communication. Peterson has developed a special style of training based on language communication that he demonstrates and teaches with Dusty – and their unique relationship proves that anyone can have a deeper, more joyful and rewarding relationship with their horse.

Dusty and his friend, Mark Peterson, are truly breaking the language barrier in the animal world, far exceeding widely held beliefs on animal intelligence and capacity for language and communication. Dusty’s grasp for the human language and use of tools is proof of that. The Great Apes have always been regarded as one of the only species of animal to use tools on a regular basis. This horse, has now blown that out of the water. Through his special style of training and communication, Peterson is teaching us all how to get the most out of any relationship while bringing joy and good will to all who meet his fun loving horse Dusty.
