The talented palomino colt who would eventually become Roy Rogers’ "Trigger" began life as "Golden Cloud,” and began his incredible career in the 1938 film, "The Adventures of Robin Hood."
He was ridden by Olivia de Havilland, who played Maid Marian. "Golden Cloud” (soon renamed "Trigger") was offered as Roy’s movie mount shortly thereafter, along with four other equine actors, and according to anecdotes -- Roy knew immediately that Trigger was a very special horse.
Over 31 years of life, Trigger starred alongside Roy in almost 90 films, 100 episodes of The Roy Rogers Show, and innumerable personal appearances. Now that’s a dedicated actor.
