| | | This book is a detailed look at the animals and men who created and nurtured the legend of "the smartest horse in the movies." It covers the life story of the original horse and the look-alikes, as well as the story of "Trigger," the legend. A filmography lists all films in which Trigger appeared, including some without Roy Rogers. Television and personal appearances are also discussed. Covered in their own chapters are horse hero comic books and Trigger collectibles. Also included are a biography of Trigger's trainer Glenn Randall and a chapter on Roy Rogers as horseman. Generous illustrations include many rare (some previously unpublished) photographs gathered from Trigger collectors nationwide, and even copies of Trigger's registration form and bill of sale.

5 of 5 Excellent, accurate, resource book Thursday, September 11, 2008
A Reader from Los Angeles, CA
This very well researched and informative book is an excellent resource on "The Trigger" and the many other "Triggers" used over the years, in movies, TV, parades, public appearances, photo shoots, etc. It covers the training and care given to these beautiful horses in easily understood, very readable, entertaining detail. Other famous movie horses are covered in the book, as well. This is an excellent book. Was this review helpful?
