If anyone looks at older photographs of actual horses used in the 1860 + time frame as most westerns are depicted, the actual horses were a far cry from those shown in movies.

I sure enjoyed them though.

I remember sitting round the radio on a Saturday night,early 1950's, listening to Hopalong, Roy, Lone Ranger. I later had plastic replicas of Topper, Trigger, and Silver
