Although they are not often included in the cast of the individual entries of this book, the horses of the cowboy stars were often big attractions and as much the star of a film as humans. Sometimes movies were built around the talents of the star’s horse, as in the cases of Tom Mix’s Tony, Ken Maynard’s Tarzan and Roy Rogers’ Trigger.
