The Palomino horse has been around for ages, seen in art from early times, used in children’s literature, and movies. The palomino horse is easily recognized and prized for its golden coat and white mane and tail. While they come in various shades of gold, the palomino catches all eyes.
Perhaps the most famous Palomino horse was Roy Rogers “Trigger”. Trigger originally known as Golden Cloud first appeared with Roy Rogers in the movie “Under Western Stars” in 1939. The big golden colored horse with blaze face and white mane and tail became every bit as famous as Roy himself.
Trigger continued his role with Roy in movies and TV shows until 1957. Unknown to many Trigger had two counter parts that went with Roy on personal appearances around the Country. Little Trigger and Trigger Jr., both similar in size, coloring, and appearance, gave Trigger a break from his full time duties as TV Star. Little Trigger was a horse of unknown registry, but Trigger Jr. was a registered Tennessee Walking Horse.
