Famous TV/Movie Horses.
Buried in the text of my December 26th post was a question about the name of Hopalong Cassidy’s horse. I got no takers. Now, I’m curious about how well you know your television/movie horses.
How many of the following horses can you name? No Googling. We’ll use the honor system. I’ll post the answers in the comments section.
Roy Rogers’ horse
Dale Evans’ horse
Wild Bill Hickok’s horse
Jingles’ (Wild Bill’s sidekick) horse
The Lone Ranger’s horse
Tonto’s horse
The Cisco Kid’s horse
Zorro’s horse
Gene Autry’s horse
Hopalong Cassidy’s horse
I love this site, brings up Gabby Hayes memories…………..

Roy’s - Trigger
Dale’s - Buttermilk
Wild Bill’s - Buckshot
Lone Ranger - Silver
Jingles - Joker
Tonto - Scout
Cisco Kid - Diablo
Zorro - Tornado
Gene Autry - Champion

MMCLEAN,
Off the top of my head (no Googling), I think it was “Buck,” but I wouldn’t bet the ranch on that.

It was Thunder - now, how about Little Beaver’s?

My sons are wondering so I figured I ask here and see if anyone could answer their question. What breed of horse was The Durango Kid’s (Charles Starett’s) horse, Raider… and also Smiley Burnetter (a.k.a. Frog Millhouse)’s horse Old Ring-Eyed Nellie?
Thanks for any help you can give us!
