more information on Sickle. Have seen him in Goggle box series Sugarfoot ridden by star of prove Will Hutchins. Also appeared on an episode of Laramie. Seen in a background of an old (only in color) western movie, may have been one of John Wayne'southward movies. Didn't catch the championship. Sickle seemed to have a long career of Television & movies!

WILLIAM EVANS (author) from GARLAND, TEXAS on August 26, 2019:

Westerfan on August 25, 2019:

Hi. have some possible answers for David and Janice. Re: brown horse with foreign marker near middle: David thought it could take been O' Rouke's equus caballus in F-Troop. You lot may be thinking of Sickle, a chestnut gelding ridden past Larry Storch in F-Troop, before that, in Bohemian by Jack Kelly (equally Bart Maverick). Sickle had a white stripe on his face up, the summit of the stripe curved into a crooked E shape between his optics, hence the name Sickle. In the Maverick series, Bart wins a "thoroughbred racehorse" in a poker game. The equus caballus'due south racing name was "Golden Girl", called Goldie past Bart. This is Sickle. Bart rides him/her almost exclusively for at least one season before giving Goldie to a girl stable manus in one of the episodes. Later on, Sickle shows upward as Larry Storch's horse in F-Troop. Larry rides him nigh exclusively in all the later episodes of the show & poises with him in many publicity stills. You can Google image Larry Storch with horse or in F-Troop to find photos of Sickle. RE: Janice's question almost Joe Cartwright'southward horse in Bonanza. At first Joe rode a black & white pinto names Cochise. Unfortunately, co-ordinate to other TV horse stars websites, some one broke into the stables housing some TV & picture horses. Many of the horses, including Cochise, were attacked and or mutilated ( this is not really fabricated very clear) and had to be put down. Another blackness & white pinto takes Cochise's place. Michael Landon may accept had up to 3 different pinto's over the run of the serial. If you await very closely at the markings of Joe'due south horse over the years, they change markedly! Hope this helps!

John Shultz, thank yous for your annotate. Nonetheless, this Hub is about the stars of the B Western films. Randolph Scott and others mentioned above were A film actors. I agree with some of the people referring to Scott and Duke and Newman, etc.. They left out my favorite Western player as did I....Joel McCrea who made films with Randolph Scott. But, like I said, those were A films and A actors. If Joel McCrea only made westerns that showed up at the Saturday morning theaters along with serials and yo-yo contests then he would have been the first one I mention.

January C on July 25, 2016:

aclakshmana3 years ago asked about a movie about a champion jumping horse called "Picayune Thief." Walt Disney produced a picture (filmed in Mexico with a by and large Mexican bandage) called "The Littlest Outlaw" (1955). Pablito, a stable male child, steals "Conquistador," a jumping horse who is going to be killed considering his owner'southward daughter fell while riding him. (The fall happened because the equus caballus was driveling past the trainer, Pablito's evil uncle). Pablito and the horse are helped by many people including a village priest. Eventually, in a dramatic scene where Pablito saves the horse by jumping him out of a bull ring, the truth is revealed. The owner and hisdaughter give Conqueror to Pablito.

WILLIAM EVANS (author) from GARLAND, TEXAS on June xix, 2016:

Lynda, afterward extensive research it appears that the horse'due south name was the same equally the title. I would assume they named him that in respect to his dynamic role in the picture. No word on the trainer merely would not exist surprised if it were Audi since he would always use his ain horses in his films. He mostly used Joe Queen.

I remember seeing Andy Devine as Hopalong Cassidy'south sidekick in some of the earlier TV series and in that location were plenty of riding scenes. The COZI aqueduct started running the series and movies last year so I've been able to take hold of upward on a lot that I missed in my earlier years. The one that I would like to know about is the Cisco Kid series - Pancho rode Loco but Cisco'due south pigment horses kept changing from scene to scene within each episode. I definitely saw three dissimilar ones only it might accept been four as there were slight differences in the markings from i to the other. 1 of them fifty-fifty resembled a horse ridden by Chuck Connors in his Branded series but not 100% certain because of the broad time gap.

Lew Larsen on Jan 27, 2015:

I had a good friend who hitch-hiked to California in 1941. He took a landscaper helpers task and one day while working in the yard of a large residence, the owner exited the business firm and fabricated modest talk with the crew. MY friend didn't recognize the homeowner until ane of his crew mates told him that information technology was Gabby Hayes. My friend said he didn't recognize him correct off because the possessor had teeth and he ever thought that Gabby acted without teeth. I have always wondered if Gabby purposely removed his dentures in order to give more personality to the character he was portraying or whether his acting ust didn't bear witness his teeth.

Fifties Kid on June 22, 2014:

Growing up in the fifties westerns were my first option. My favourite cowboys were John Wayne, Gary Cooper, Jimmy Stewart & Randolph Scott. As their horses go Scott's horse stood out the most! And I agree that the other actors really weren't know for their horses. Just I realised and then and confirmed it subsequently that Wayne e'er rode a very alpine horse! Groovy hub!

WILLIAM EVANS (author) from GARLAND, TEXAS on June 07, 2014:

Jt parker on February 23, 2014:

There were really 2 horses who played silver on the Lone Ranger series. I first noticed that in ane bear witness silverish had a mole nether one of his eyes. In another show he didn't. I wrote the Alone Ranger website and was told that when Clayton Moore came back after going on strike the owner of the original argent had removed him from the bear witness. I also read where they used two white horses for several years. One of them was less friendly and did non have well to having a lot of commotion around him. Therefore in certain scenes they used the smaller balmy tapered silver

Ronnie Owens on Dec 18, 2013:

This has been some good reading & remembering therphy for me. I knew most of everything said (not all) but good to be re-insured. Cheers Folks

WillStarr from Phoenix, Arizona on August 19, 2013:

"Yep, but I loved them as a kid, Volition."

And so did I. In fact, I still practice!

Randy Godwin from Southern Georgia on August 19, 2013:

Yes, merely I loved them as a kid, Will. It'due south tough to grow upwards and realize everything is non so articulate cutting as it appeared in the old westerns. Not enough guys wearing white hats in the real globe today. It is what it is....

WillStarr from Phoenix, Arizona on August nineteen, 2013:

Y'all got it, Randy! It was Scout.

The Lone Ranger would say, "Hullo-yo Silver, away", and Tonto would respond with, "Get 'em upward, Scout."

The old westerns were non PC at all. Indians spoke with broken English language.

Randy Godwin from Southern Georgia on Baronial xix, 2013:

Didn't Tonto-- the Lone Ranger's Indian sidekick--have a horse named Watch? Or am I mistaken? I bet Will knows.

Swell hub, by the way. :)

WillStarr from Phoenix, Arizona on Baronial 19, 2013:

Keen trivia, Michael! Thanks for sharing.

Michael Nolan on May 02, 2013:

Just a bit more than on Cadet Jones's equus caballus, Silver. Buck actually had three light grayness horses, Argent and his two doubles, Eagle and Sandy. All iii lived in a barn behind Cadet'southward house in Hollywood, and were treated as members of the family unit by Buck, his married woman Dell, and their girl Maxine. According to Dell, afterward Buck passed away in late 1942, Silver was and then saddened that he stopped eating, and and then passed away himself in 1943. (All this is from Buck Rainey's wonderful books on Jones, besides as his interviews with Buck's widow, Dell.)

Beginning I would like to wish you lot a speedy recovery.

I am delighted to get through your writing on films based on horses.It is very interesting and takes united states of america back to our younger days. Some of them are older than that.In 1961 I had seen a movie based on an army champion jumping horse "little thief". I t was a beautiful movie and I am not getting any news about this film. Can you or any one of you throw some light on this most touching movie I have ever seen.
