Beautiful Horses Pictures Biography
Source(Gogle.com.pk)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.

You may rep Michael Landon selected a beautiful Paint horse for his new mount, in the show he is called Cochise, named after the famous Indian. He stood 15. 3 hands high and weighed 1,150 pounds. Michael rode Cochise the first six years of Bonanza, who had two stunt Paint horses double him, the first season, in June-July 1959 at Sand Harbor and Tahoe Meadows, and the second Paint double used in the fourth season at Truckee and Iverson Ranch in 1962, fifth season again at Iverson Ranch in 1963, and seventh season at Red Rock Canyon, California in 1965.
During the sixth year in October 1964, a deranged intruder broke into the Fat Jones Stable when everyone was asleep and stabbed the Paint and a few of the others horses very badly. Some of the other horses the vet was able to save, but the Paint and the others had to be euthanized. Michael was very saddened by this and put out a reward, but the authorities never apprehended the killer. Lorne Greene was also shaken and said if this had happened to Buck, he didn't know what he would do if anything happened to his horse.
The replacement was a Paint horse stunt double the stable rented for Michael to ride immediately after his first mount was killed. His first appearance was filmed in "The Far, Far Better Thing", that went into production a few days after the incident at Fat Jones, in October 1964. Michael and his stuntmen rode him in various filmed cuts through the last episode made for season twelve, "An Earthquake Called Callahan" in January 1971, with Hal Burton horseback doubling Michael at Idyllwild. After the season wrapped, the stable sold the horse to another party in 1971.
By the seventh season, the stories centering on Joe began shifting outdoors and stronger and highly-trained stunt Paint horses had to be used, where in the first six years, his first Paint, called Cochise would just do simple chores at Paramount Studios and locally in Southern California. The seventh and eighth seasons had more rugged outdoor shots at Lake Tahoe and Lone Pine and other locales, so two more riding Paints selected by Michael along with the stunt Paint was selected and ridden by Bob Miles doubling Joe in long shots, and Mike would do his close-ups on his riding Paint. This is something that stuntmen and actors work out before filming, and they go to the stable and choose the Paint horses for the scenes called for in the scripts, every season.
At the start of the ninth season, Michael would continue to ride the Paint horse stunt double (Paint # 5) for selected riding shots, while one of the riding Paints he used the previous eighth season would do his riding in other shows. A new riding Paint was added to the roster of Paint horses for stock footage at Lake Tahoe and Truckee that September and October of 1967. This Paint horse was selected by Michael who would ride him in many shows. Hal Burton would also ride him for any necessary stunts in a bit part for Michael. This horse would alternate with the other Paint horses through the end of the eleventh season in 1969-70.
By the start of season twelve, the Fat Jones Stables sold many horses, including all the Paint horses since the era of TV-Westerns was fading away, and the show's new format didn't require that many Paint horses to be used anymore. Michael selected two Paints for seasons twelve, thirteen, and fourteen of the series to do his filmed shots on. One riding Paint was used for bit parts in just a few shows in seasons twelve and fourteen. The second was a stunt horse he and Hal Burton would ride for all the outdoor shots locally and at distant film sites.
