[email protected] Trigger (Golden Cloud) was the very horse that the Maid Marion (Olivia de Havilland) rode side saddle in the movie The Adventures of Robin Hood filmed in 1938. That's one of Golden Cloud (Trigger)'s roles on his way to superstardom.
Before filming began on Under Western Stars, several of the stables that provided horses to Republic Studios brought their best lead horses to the studio so Roy could select a mount. Roy recalled it, handsome golden palomino who handled so well and reacted swiftly to whatever was asked of him. Roy liked the horse so much, he purchased him for the amazing sum of $2,500.
