Monarch was a lighter color, similar to Little Trigger, who I’ll go over in a minute.
TRIGGER JR. (1941-1969) (1941-1969) The original Trigger is said to be a cross between a Walking Horse and a Thoroughbred, but in reality Trigger Jr. was a full-blooded Tennessee Walking Horse named Allen's Gold Zephyr who was bred by C. O. Barker of Readyville, Tennessee. The 1,300-lb (600 kg) replica could be seen from the freeway and served as a landmark until the museum closed and moved to Branson. Once during an interview, Roy Rogers made one of his rare references to Little Trigger. In Under California Stars (1948), the plot centers on Trigger’s kidnapping.

After the original Trigger (Golden Cloud) died in 1965 at Rogers' new ranch in At some point, a 24-ft (7 m) replica of a rearing Trigger was produced to sit atop the Roy Rogers Museum in Victorville. Little Trigger was There it “explodes” and comes down between his nostrils.California and Monarch both had four socks. Thankfully the golden stallion leaped to his feet unharmed, if a little indignant. Roy knew that Hudkins probably wouldn’t sell Trigger to another actor (especially since Roy was paying to use the palomino), whereas Little Trigger could go to anybody.Little Trigger was the horse who earned Trigger the title of “Smartest Horse in the Movies”Little Trigger was trained extensively. Some of the photos of Trigger are labeled “Trigger Jr.” and others are labeled “Little Trigger”, along with the “Trigger” captions. In reality, the horse was only used in one film – the film bearing his name.

When asked about using Junior in the movies, Roy replied: “He wasn’t worth a nickel as a cowboy horse, but he could sure to a pretty dance routine.”The only similarity the colt shared with his namesake was his height. He knew well over 160 tricks and routines and could do many complicated dressage moves without a rider to cue him. Roy never allowed Trigger to be used as a stud. Though both were the same shade of palomino, Their bloodlines were on opposite sides of the spectrum. Trigger (Little Trigger) leaps into action and holds the man at bay until Roy regains consciousness. When the fiberglass replica of Trigger was being made, Rogers was approached by the owners of the After the museum's closing in 2009, its contents were placed at public auction on July 14–15, 2010, at The colt was flashy and could perform a beautiful dance routine, perfect for entertaining youngsters.For the doubles, I’ll start with Monarch, California, and Pal.

The Palomino had already been in a couple of movies: Once Trigger was clocked in at 62 MPH while filming a running scene for a film.

However, there were a few close-ups done by each horse.Unfortunately, I only have a picture of Pal. California’s blaze was narrow all the way down, while Monarch’s was medium-width. Roy is shot off Trigger’s back in Frontier Pony Express (1939), The Arizona Kid (1939), and Spoilers of the Plains (1951). He said he was sad he hadn’t had Little Trigger wasn’t mounted as well.Below is a “Trigger” gallery. Trigger was billed as "The Smartest Horse in the Movies". Trigger was a Thoroughbred/draft stallion of largely unknown lineage. Little Trigger was the most notable, and the least recognized. However, in Sunset in the West (1950) Trigger stands calmly by as a couple of villains nearly throw Roy, bound and blindfolded, off a cliff.

From that point, they only become more distinct. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. I have been unable to get my hands on pictures of California and Monarch.
This is probably because Roy already had first dibs on Trigger, but Little Trigger was up for sale. Hopefully, you’ll be able to pick out the doubles as you watch some of Roy’s films – even if you can’t name them, you’ll still know it isn’t Trigger.A discussion about Trigger and his doubles ought to start with Trigger, “The Smartest Horse in the Movies”.Interesting Fact: Trigger had two nicknames used to distinguish him from his doubles: “Old Man” and “Trig”.Roy Rogers and Trigger in their classic rearing poseIn some films Trigger was the focus (My Pal Trigger (1946)), sometimes an active participant (Lights of Old Santa Fe (1944)), and sometimes just beautiful transportation. California was the same color as Pal (who was almost the same color as Trigger).

Trigger almost solely a movie mount, while Junior toured the country with Roy.

Trigger did finally take a bullet in Twilight in the Sierras (1950).

Trigger (July 4, 1934 – July 3, 1965) was a 15.3 hands (63 inches, 160 cm) palomino horse made famous in American Western films with his owner and rider, cowboy star Roy Rogers. Later in the same scene, Trigger steps on a villain (really a blow-up dummy). This tactic was used in chase scenes in On the Old Spanish Trail (1947), The Gay Ranchero (1948), The Far Frontier (1948), Pals of the Golden West (1951), and in Sunset in the West (1950).With all the gun fights Trigger was exposed to, it’s a wonder he wasn’t shot more often. He did not want to risk ruining Trigger’s sweet disposition by exposing the stallion to mares. This leads to the villain’s capture.Much to the chagrin of some fans, Roy used Trigger as a shield against bullets in some films.

Roy owned California and Pal, while Trigger’s trainer, Glenn Randal, owned Monarch. He was also stockier – a build referred to as “bulldog”. More than once, he escorted him up three or four flights of stairs at hospitals to visit with sick children, according to his autobiography While appearing in a show at the Glasgow Empire in 1954, Trigger was presented with a kilt, the material being Dress Stewart Tartan. He was also the most heavily employed of all Roy’s palominos.
