Glad to find this. I am a 62 year old woman who has done everything but act! I was researching for a book I am writing when I discovered John Ford and his Stock Troupe. My book took a turn, and I have been researching western stunt men and character actors that I feel really MADE our heroes and pretty much got "left out in the cold" when it came to acknowledgement. Was about to post something about Duke's horses in The Searchers after viewing it and Peter's commentary on it over a hundred times, when I saw something that I had missed all those times. Scar was sitting on the horse Duke rode in most of the movie. Boy, that scrambled my theory a bit. I do believe though that the horse Duke was riding when Marty tried to stop him from going after Debbie, was one that was a "light spooker" whenever someone threw up his arms or caused a disturbance in front of him. Duke was able to stay on him and look good although he had to physically rein the horse with both hands and shift his weight to keep him away from Marty. On the other horse he rode so much, the one with the wide blaze with the spot on it and two front white stockings and the right back leg, you never saw the reins tighten, and he used one hand to hold them. He used body language and neck reining with that horse. Going into Scar's lodge, he was moving too fast so had to pull him around to the left....loose reins, weight shift and neck rein. Once he was straight to the lodge, Duke lifted his legs until almost perpendicular and then gave the horse a real NUDGE and they both went straight into the lodge. This is the same horse that Duke rode in the shot running through the village at lightning speed. Now, If I could just find out what the horse's name was. Anyone know? Thanks and glad to be here, KP

First of all please see
John Ford Stock Company

Duke of course rode several horses,
but his top ones, were Banner and Dollar.
Please see our thread on this
Duke's Movie Horses

As the following posts were regarding Dukes Movie Horses,
I have moved them to the dedicated thread,
so the question hopefully, can be answered.

Duke's Movie Horses

Howdy Hawkswill,

We are so glad to have you here at this great place to discuss the greatest man, John Wayne. I hope you will take advantage of what's here and learn more about this great person and the industry he was a part of for over 60 years. Ask questions, you'll get an answer soon enough. We have many here who know so much about this man, it's almost amazing. Just hope you have fun while here. Again welcome and see you soon.

Cheers Hondo Duke Lane

Welcome Hawk, you seem to have plenty of knowledge to share

Welcome to the board, Hawkswill. I'm glad you found us and joined in.

Thanks to Ethan, Irish Duke, Hondo, and Duke Fan 1 for my Welcome. It is always a bit nerve wracking when joining a new online group to share and ask about the older Westerns. I realize some of what I may write about has been written before, but I try to search to see if I find it first. Hope I am searching the right places, LOL! Still having profile pic troubles, and can't seem to find out how to answer folks who post to my post.Thanks again Yall, KP KEITH
