Trigger, the famous horse of the American silver screen, is an icon of the era, and a legend in his own right. Trigger was a beautiful, golden, Palomino stallion renowned for his intelligence, speed, and versatility. He was one of the most famous horses in the world and was ridden by the late Roy Rogers, who was known as the “King of the Cowboys.”

Trigger had a remarkable career in the cinema industry, making his first appearance in the 1938 film, “Under Western Stars” with Roy Rogers. From then on, he appeared in over 80 films and television shows, which includes musicals, comedies, and even a science fiction movie.

It wasn’t just Trigger’s onscreen performances that made him legendary; he was also known for his strong personality. Described as a horse with charisma and a sense of humor, he would often perform tricks for the audience and would even impersonate his human co-stars. Trigger’s intelligence and agility made him the perfect partner to Roy Rogers for the daring and awe-inspiring stunts that they performed.

Many people may ask, how did Trigger become such a famous celebrity? The story of Trigger’s origin is one of chance, luck, and a lot of hard work. Roy Rogers, the owner of the horse, was searching for a suitable animal to portray a character in one of his films. He had exhausted all his options until one day, during a horse auction in 1932, he spotted a beautiful palomino gelding. Rogers knew that he had found the perfect animal for his films, and so he purchased the horse for $600.

Things remained this way until one day, when one of the producers remarked that a cowboy should have a stallion rather than a gelding. So, Rogers traded the gelding for a stallion and named him Golden Cloud, or “Trigger” as he was later known.

After Trigger hit the big screen, his popularity skyrocketed. He became a star in his own right, and Roy Rogers built a whole TV series around the “Trigger” character. Trigger became the horse that everyone wanted to see, and every young boy hoped to ride one day.

The bond between Roy Rogers and Trigger was unique, and it was evident in the performances and the way they interacted both on and off-camera. They were together for over two decades, during which Trigger became more than just a movie star but a loved member of the family.

In 1965, Roy Rogers retired from making movies, and Trigger was retired with him. However, just like his owner, he continued to make appearances at various events and exhibitions. Sadly, Trigger’s health started to decline, and he passed away in 1965. Roy Rogers had him stuffed and mounted and placed him in his own museum in Victorville, California, for everyone to see.

In conclusion, Trigger’s journey is one of the few classic tales of the fame that came with hard work, talent, and a mutual bond between a man and his horse. Trigger may no longer be with us, but his memory lives on in the hearts and minds of those who have enjoyed his performances and the many tales of his exploits. So, the next time you hear the name “Trigger,” think about the legacy he left behind, and the joy he brought to generations of movie-goers.
