"Trigger (1932–3 July 1965) was a 15.3 hands (63 in; 1.60 m) golden Palomino horse made famous in American Western films with his owner/rider, cowboy star Roy Rogers.
Roy Rogers & TriggerTrigger was ridden by Rogers in many of his motion pictures, becoming much loved by the youthful audience that saw him on film and in Rogers' 1950s television series with his wife Dale Evans, who rode her trusty buckskin, Buttermilk.
Trigger became the most famous horse in film entertainment, even having his own Dell comic book recounting his exploits. Trigger, a Palomino stallion, was bought by Roy in 1938 after he spotted him on the set of The Adventures of Robin Hood where he was being ridden by Olivia de Havilland.
Trigger comic bookAfter Trigger died in 1965, his hide was stretched over a plaster likeness and put on display at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum in Victorville, California which has since been relocated to Branson, Missouri.
Around rodeo circuits, especially Cheyenne Frontier Days, "Triggerette" became a nickname for a trusted assistant for the rodeo committee."
