sassnetguy50 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Watching Tall Man Riding tonight made me wonder about Randolph Scott’s palomino. Found this short read about several famous horses from the 1920s-1950s. https://reelrundown.com/celebrities/Horses-of-Famous-Western-Film-Stars-and-their-Sidekicks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassnetguy50 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Extra tidbit: Did you notice Ol’ Dollar was sometimes referenced almost forcibly in The Shootist? John Wayne felt so stongly about Ol’ Dollar, he had it in his contract that Ol’ Dollars ‘s name will be in the final cut X number of times.

Anvil Al #59168 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Best movie to me was Steel. That should have been best movie horse was a horst called Steel. Was in a ton of movies. Actors would request him. Ben Johnson ended up buying him and won his World roping Championship on him. Was not one of the tv show horses. But would have a ton of movie credits. Big favorite of Randolph Scott and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpo Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Is that a white horse, or a palomino? >JOHNNY MACK BROWN'S HORSES, SCOUT/RENO & REBEL Johnny started out on a white steed called Scout. Later, he changed to a Palomino first named Reno and then changed to Rebel.< We all know that if it says it on the internet it has to be true. Therefore that horse is either a white horse or a palomino. Right? Whatever it is, it looks like it ain't got no eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 If you pay attention in a lot of the old westerns many of the stars almost always wore the same hat and holster in different movies. They also rode the same horse in multiple movies. Have notice that if there was any chance of the horse getting injured a different yet similar looking horse was often used. Triggger had several stunt doubles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Robert Mitchum's daughter put out a coffee table book entitled "Hollywood Hoofbeats". Lots of info on most of the horses western stars rode, both movie and TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a cow pony like that with dorsal stripe, faintest stripe on shoulder and hocks. Sadly he was hit by an 18 wheeler a couple months after I sold him off to a young lady. Same girl I sold a mare to many years before, the mare got bit in the neck by a water moccasin and fell dead right there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
