- Official Netflix synopsis

Marked by a painful childhood, Wiltshire found solace and inspiration in the Western films he grew up with. Born in Australia, Wiltshire moved to the US to ride bucking horses on the rodeo circuit. That's where he got his start training horses, which landed him his first film gig: training a team of Clydesdale horses for Budweiser's famous ad campaigns. Today, he runs Turtle Ranch in Wyoming, which trains horses and other animals for films like Django Unchained and commercials for Wells Fargo, Chevrolet, and Phillip Morris.
