They kept Little Trigger a secret from the fans at the time though, so everyone thought that they were seeing Trigger "the old man". Trigger jr. was a Tennessee Walker that Roy bought because he liked him. He appears in the film "Trigger jr". Again, because Trigger "the old man" was getting old. However, the real Trigger is in that film as well. The real Trigger was a very large horse. the other two were substantially smaller. The real Trigger is in the tv shows though, not the others!
My Mum, took me to see Roy with Trigger and Bullet on tour, in the Liverpool Empire 50's (as I Remember) wow! I've been a cowboy ever since..and a goodie too!!
This is actually Trigger Jr. Note the four white feet. It was kind of hard to tell on my computer screen but also looks like Trigger Jr. in the wheel chasing scene. I think Trigger Jr was a Tenessee Walker and "real" Trigger was Tennessee Walker and Thouroghbred cross. Both equally lovely horses! I have not seen the whole movie lately, time to rent it again!! Rogers had kind hands on the reins. You don't see that oftne enough in western movies. Very good equestrian.
Yay!! I've been looking for these clips for a some years now. Only cheking once in a while and Wupti! There they where! Thx a million, it was my favourite film as a kid.
I always thought that there was Trigger and Trigger Jr. Trigger Jr was used later on when the original Trigger was getting a little old. Jr never worked out as well as Trigger. Trigger was used in just about all of RR films and TV shows .He died at age 38. Now Gene Autry was the one that had over three Champions . Some of them had there manes bleached out to match the original Champion. there was also little Champion a pony size version of Champion.
@soullover123456 Yes, there wer three Triggers. He had his real Trigger (he called him "Trigger, the old man"), Little Trigger, and Trigger, jr. The one in "Son of Paleface" is actually Little Trigger. The only film where you ever see Little Trigger. Trigger the old man is in every other Roy film. . .
One time when Roy took Trigger "the old man" to a parade, a fan cut off half of Trigger's tail as a souvenir. For a while after that, Trigger had to where a "tail piece"! So, he got Little Trigger (who is slightly smaller and has different leg markings) to take for personal appearances. By the time of "Son of Paleface", the real Trigger was getting older, so they decided to use Little Trigger so that he could do all the stunts. Also, it was Little Trigger that could do the sleeping skit. . . .
@katie8758 You could of bought that saddle a few months ago in NYC auction house. I was looking at it myself. His son was auctioning off all his stuff.
Actually, this is "Little Trigger". Little Trigger was the horse that Roy used in every personal appearence tour and who did any dancing and tricks in the films. The real Trigger couldn't make movies and tour without health problems, and he did not do many tricks. He appeared in every Roy film, except for "Son of Paleface". This is all Little Trigger, who supposedly was one of the most brilliant horses ever. Roy's dau. Cheryl's book "Cowboy Princess" has a lot of info about the Triggers.
Does anyone have the clip of Bob Hope in bed with Trigger from this film? I heard about it on the Mark and Brian radio program this morning. It apparently is very funny.
that horse has talent

Trigger was also the horse that Maid Marion (Olivia De Haviland) rode in the Errol Flynn Classic "The Adventures of Robin Hood" before Roy got him.
@CowboyandtheSenorita That was hilarious!!! Thank you. You made my night.
@Boudosaved So glad that you liked it! It doesn't get much better than Bob Hope. He was brilliant.
I love this and aint it the truth, I always have my trusty horse;)
Glad you were interested! Her book is really fun. I know you can get it from her website, as well as a lot of libraries.
You are welcome! It does get rather confusing. ;o)

@Boudosaved Hi there! I'll be glad to upload the scene for you. I'll get it today. It is really funny.

Ah! Thanks. All the names are too similar for me. I really like Little Trigger's conformation. Kind of baroque. :-)
OMG were did you get this from. What an outfit, just to think, i wanted one just like it. Shear brilliance.
please can someone post a song from another Roy movie called Wat'll We do For Money

I know there was three "Triggers". Trigger is the original. Then there's Little Trigger he rode. Who was the other?

@springfairy1 Hi again! I uploaded the scene! If you go to the channel page, you will find it! Hope you enjoy it!
