AboutMel Priddle Expertise Movies have always been my great love and John Wayne films in particular gave me more pleasure than most. I have studied his body of work for years and would be more than happy to answer any questions relating anything he appeared in, directed or produced.
Question What were the Horses Name or Names that were ridden in John Wayne EARLY WESTERNS. They were Beautiful white horses like silver from Lone Ranger? Don't know if there were one, or several.
Thanks
Answer Hello Sandra,
The horse you are thinking of was called DUKE. John Wayne rode him in a half-dozen westerns in the early 1930's:
The Man from Monterey (1933)
Somewhere in Sonora (1933)
The Telegraph Trail (1933)
Haunted Gold (1932)
The Big Stampede (1932)
Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)
The horse was sometimes billed as "Duke The Wonder Horse", "Devil Horse Duke", and "Duke The Miracle Horse".
