Ask Paint Horse Pete:
Q: Do you know what Paint Horse is used in
the Netflix television commercial?
 
A: Thanks for your question Edson!
The Paint Horse Used in the netflix commercial is Binnowee Zippos Girl,
a brown frame over mare, otherwise know as "Zip," owned by Dimity Bjork of Bargo,
New South Wales, Australia. Dimity provides a variety of animals for film and television.
Zip was one of her three Paints that was sent to the Netflix audition, and the production
company chose the mare to be in their commercial. Dimity says that Zip knows a lot of tricks.
She can smile on cue, limp, bow, lay down and chase. "She did a lot of scenes for the ad,"
said Dimity, "the best in my opinion was when she was in a crowded room-it was a big ask for any horse."
According to Netflix, the commercials featuring Zip were all filmed on-location in Australia.
Thanks to Netflix and Dimity Bjork for their help with this answer.
