Aha!! just found it... there were two Triggers used during the Roy Rogers movies and episodes. One was out of a thoroughbred and cold blooded mare, this was the first one selected, but with the popularity of Roy Rogers and Trigger, a back up horse was needed and this one was a Register TWH (known internally as Trigger Jr by the show)... so I am betting the show I watched last week was showing off the Trigger Jr, the TWH... which was the back up horse  ) So I was seeing gaiting!http://www.royrogersworld.com/Trigger.htm

The fast gait that I can get the mare to do ,The one I think maybe a rack she can go around 10-14-mph (I used a GPS while I rode her to find out what speed she was doing). The gait that she does most of the time is around 4-7 mph.

There were actually 3 Triggers. Trigger, Little Trigger and Trigger,Jr. The latter being a TWH. You can read about it here: http://www.royrogersworld.com/Trigger.htm

Noellee, if you were watching the black and white 'Roy Rogers Show', that was Trigger. He called him the 'Old Man' as he was the first Trigger. He is not by a Thoroughbred, he is the Mountain Horse as per the Gaited Horse article. I have scrutinized lots of those old shows and his movies and he did not gait. However, he moved and carried himself like the Mountain Horse he was - just didn't have any gait. Buttermilk was bulkier and I always figured 'Quarter Horse'. Could have been a Foxtrotter though as I clearly saw that horse gait on an episode a while back. (Dale's buckskin). Little Trigger was used a lot for personal appearances. I remember seeing him ride out on stage and spin around on his front leg & do the rhumba to La Coocaracha on a youtube clip. Very cool. Trigger Jr.'s registered name was Allen's Gold Zephyr or something like that if I'm not mistaken. He was a Tennesee Walking Horse and not related to Trigger. Roy raised palominos and had a lot of horses. They were all 'Trigger' to most folks. (Sorry to have hijacked this thread.)

LaVonne, I can't resist adding that the youtube video you linked for a good example of the rack is a horse I dearly love! In fact I corresponded quite a bit with the owner before I found Lacey. I just couldn't justify going that far just to look at a horse. But she's got a great gait for sure!

wow, that is strange. I just looked for TWH and selected the first ones I came across that I thought were good examples.
