Mary Towslee started her career as a gallop girl and assistant trainer at racetracks. While working in New Mexico, she happened upon TV horse training when a racehorse-based teen drama, Wildfire, needed well-trained horses to portray track life. After a brief break when the series concluded, Mary returned to the movie business.

Since then, she has trained horses for movies and television shows such as The Lone Ranger, The Magnificent Seven, Hostiles, News of the World, and 1883. She’s moved up the ranks to serving as “gangboss,” running the wrangler crew, giving riding lessons to actors, and handling horses on set.
