While I am by no means a horse expert,
I'll have to get back to y'all on this one.
Peridot
I do believe we answered he question, a few posts back!
As far as I remember, I think the horse
Duke rode in The Searchers was Beau. also known as Bo.
I believe Duke owned that horse.
This is an interesting post made earlier in this thread.
Of course as the discussion, amendments were made,
so it's good to go through this thread again.

I'm still looking and researching. Watching movies and comparing known photos with the films. I don't why this thing has stuck in my craw the way it has, but I'm having fun doing it! Hope I'm not boring y'all with my prattlin' on, but thought I'd share what I've learned. Once this thing has run its course, if I come up with any more info, I'll let ya know. And by the way, thanks to Bill and ejgreen77 and etsija and ethan for helping me out with this.
Best to all,

For continuity, I have now merged
the two similar threads about Duke and his horses.
I have moved the following posts, from Duke's Books- Discussion.
Been looking for this thread, and being that
Murray posted one on 'Horses',
I thought members who missed this previous thread,
might be interested.
And here is the link again for the Cowboy stars:-
Western Cowboys and their Mounts
and the Home Page, which shows the President's horses, American Racehorses, etc.
Hi brick,
This has already been discussed in great detail,
over in this thread, so for continuity
reasons, I have moved your post over to here.
Your question has already been answered previously
but just to help you, here is my post from the Movie Reviews.
Duke the Wonder horse was in at least
the six Warner Brothers movies, that Duke made.
in the early 1930's
Haunted Gold
Ride Him Cowboy
The Big Stampede
The Telegraph Trail
Somewhere in Sonora
The Man From Montery

Four of these, were re-makes of some silent films, that Ken Maynard had made.
These Duke versions were also made, to use up unused film, that WB had,
featuring Ken Maynard and Tarzan, his miracle horse.
They brought in Duke and Duke! The Wonder Horse,
and substituted them into the films!!
If you look closely, you can spot the difference,
between the two actors.
Even the two horses, are noticeably different.
He may have been others, but not that I know of.
Hi Dollar,
Thanks for your post.
I am sure, that the members, who have been involved
with this thread, will have some comments to make,
regarding it.
However, when it comes to knowledge,
and getting one's facts right,
I would like to point out this,
The John Wayne Birthplace Society,
(of which I am a member),
is in Winterset, (correct spelling)
and that is in IOWA (not Ohio) as you stated!
Hi,
Sorry, I forgot one,
Dollar,

You know, I just breezed through that site the first time, but in looking at it a second time, in a more leisurely way, I'm disappointed to note that they only show one of Duke's horses.

Hi,
I too had to read it all the way through,
for some reason, the more I read the post,
the more I was convinced Dollar was still alive!!
However, as I read the date of the article,
my dream was quickly shattered.
How about Dukes, pre-Dollar horse,
Banner, he used this horse,in his westerns between
1940-1954.
Does anyone have any information about
this, another of Dukes favourite horses?
