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".


Glad to be of help. Cheers........Mel.  

Wayne, John

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.
