Clarrie, ex racehorse....A bit unusual for a rodeo "bronc"....she's a thoroughbred mare who kept bucking off her jockeys, so now she has a new career. And she apparently is enjoying it. Said to be a record height for a bucking horse coming out of the chute! This girl is flying!
Zorro and "Tornado" (aka "Toronado"). Tornado was always Zorro's inseparable companion, black as the night itself and swifter than any other. Tornado has been played by many horses in movies and television, most recently perhaps by a splendid Friesian in the Antonio Banderas Zorro films.
When Depp took on the role of Ichabod Crane in Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow, he rode a horse who played the character "Gunpowder". After production, the one-eyed horse was to be destroyed, until Depp, upon hearing this news, adopted the horse, named Goldeneye, thereby saving his life.

Comanche and Miles Keogh (and Custer's Last Stand) GEORGE CUSTER was also an officer in the Civil War, but his big defeat came later: in 1876 he and all his troops were killed in a battle with Native Americans which became known as Custer's Last Stand.

Feb. 3, 1989: Apprentice jockey Nate Hubbard hung on for second literally when his horse, Sweetwater Oak, stumbled near the finish line at Golden Gate Fields and flipped the rider out of his saddle. As he tumbled forward, Hubbard grabbed on to the filly’s neck and hung in mid-air until the race was over. The track stewards ruled it an official finish because Hubbards feet never touched the ground and Sweetwater Oak carried her assigned weight throughout the race.
