Real Horse Pictures Biography
Source(Gogle.com.pk)Mini Biography
Trigger, Roy Rogers' beautiful Golden Palomino stallion, and co-star with Roy in many of his movies and Roy's TV show, was often billed as "the smartest horse in the movies".
The two of them appeared in dozens of westerns in the 1930s and 40s, always chasing and thwarting the bad guys, and working to serve peace and justice.
Trigger even shared the movie title with Roy on two occasions: My Pal Trigger (1946) and Trigger, Jr. (1950).
Trigger started life out as Golden Cloud (1932). His sire was a thoroughbred horse that had raced at Caliente Track, and his dam was a cold-blooded palomino. Trigger was foaled on a small ranch in the San Diego area which was partly owned by Bing Crosby. The manager of that ranch was Roy Cloud, a breeder originally from Noblesville, Indiana. At around 3 years of age, Golden Cloud was sold to the Hudkins Stables, which rented horses to the movie industry. Golden Cloud's first major appearance was in the movie, The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) where he was ridden by Olivia de Havilland. When Gene Autry failed to report for work at Republic Pictures, Roy Rogers found himself cast in the lead role for Under Western Stars (1938). Before filming began on Under Western Stars (1938), Hudkins Stables brought their best lead horses to the studio so Roy could select a mount. As Roy recalled it, the third horse he got on was a beautiful golden palomino who handled smoothly and reacted quickly to whatever he asked it to do.
Roy said of Golden Cloud "He could turn on a dime and give you some change".
Smiley Burnette, who played Roy's sidekick in his first two films, was watching and mentioned how quick on the trigger this horse was. Roy agreed and decided that Trigger was the perfect name for the horse. Roy purchased the horse for $2,500 and eventually outfitted it with a $5,000 gold/silver saddle.
Roy was proud of the fact that throughout his more than 80 films, the 101 episodes of his television series, and countless personal appearances, Trigger never fell.
Roy once said that "he felt that Trigger seemed to know when people were watching him and that he recognized applause and just ate it up like a ham!"
Trigger won a Patsy award for the role in Son of Paleface (1952) & the 1958 Craven award winner. He was so popular that at one time, he even had his own fan club with members from all over the world. On July 3, 1965, at the Rogers ranch in Hidden Valley, California, Trigger, at age 33, passed away. Roy was reluctant to "put him in the ground", so Rogers had the horse mounted in a rearing position by Bishoff's Taxidermy of California. The rest of his remains are buried in Thousand Oaks, California on one of Roy's former ranches.

Trivia
Roy Rogers's horse.
Was bought by Roy Rogers in 1943 for $2,500.00
Trigger's original name was Golden Cloud.
Roy Rogers had several "Triggers" over the years. When the last of the line died in 1965 its hide was stretched over a frame and placed in Rogers and Dale Evans' museum in Victorville, California. After an investigation revealed that Trigger's meat had been sold to several small eateries in the South West, contr*.
Wild horses have roamed free in the American West from the days when Spanish explorers brought them on their expeditions to the New World. Although not officially classified as wildlife, they are absolutely wild and must be approached with caution so as not to disrupt them in their natural state.
The mustangs shown in this gallery live in the high desert approximately 150 miles from my home in Central Utah. The area is public land and administered by the BLM. The wild horses share the land with local wildlife, range cattle in the summer months, and the occasional camper or desert hunter. The arid nature of the land proved undesirable to early settlers and only marginally useful as grazing land for ranchers. It is flat except for steep hills or mountains that rise abruptly from the valleys. There are very few sources of water, the wildlife and mustangs rely on springs in the higher elevations for water. Most of the mountain springs will dry up in the late summer and animals will be forced to drink at the only year-round natural waterhole. Other waterholes have been built to support the water needs of grazing cattle in the summer. The water in these man-made drinking ponds is piped in from distant springs. Forage is very scarce for ranging cattle and wild horses. The wild horses are able to eat rougher types of vegetation and have learned to graze in different areas based on the season. High wind-blown ridges are good places to feed in the winter, with grass being uncovered by the ever-present wind. The mustangs will paw away several inches of snow to nibble at food in the winter. With all water sources frozen, the horses must eat snow to hydrate.
Do not confuse these photos with others you may have seen that were taken at wild horse "sanctuaries". These horses are totally wild; not fed, fenced or otherwise cared for by man. Pictures shown here have been taken over the past two years, in all seasons and conditions.
All of the photos in this gallery were shot using a long 500mm lens and are a true representation of their lives in the desert.
