Let's Play 20 Questions
Famous Riders and their Horses' Names! Test your equine movie knowledge with this test from EquiSearch.com contributor, Larry Tritten.
Contributor Larry Tritten was always proud of his historical and movie star horse and cowboy knowledge. When he discovered he didn't know the name of Rex Allen's horse while surfing the Internet (it's Koko), he was quickly baffled – and prompted to investigate other famous horse names. Was Rex Allen's horse named Ovaltine? Calico? No, Calico was Gabby Hayes' horse's name – another fact learned while scouring the 'net for famous horses. Now Tritten challenges you to name prime horseflesh.
