Hopalong Cassidy's horse was Topper. Replaced King Nappy in 1939. Silver was the Lone Ranger's. For completeness, Trigger was Roy Roger's.

I watch a lot of old westerns on TCM.
James Stewart's was called Pie!

And also the name of the horse that pulled Ernie's cart.

I think Tom Mix's horse was Concrete. I'm sure my dad told me about Tom Mix 'n' Concrete.

Wasn't Trigger stuffed for the Roy Rogers museum?

'Champion' was the name of the three horses that Gene Autry rode but though all 'Champions' they were not the same 'Champion' who had his own series as the 'wonder horse'. He was a wild stallion and had a young friend called Ricky. Champion could tell Ricky, with just a few neighs and snickers that the injuns were on the warpath and coming through the gulch. Bronco Layne was another favourite, who went tearing across the Texas Plain.

Marlene Boyce's brother 'Bronco Lane' and Trigger also appeared in Only Fools and Horses. :))

The Cisco Kid's horse was named Diablo IIRC. Think Pancho's horse was Loco.

Possibly due to contents settlement the jar looks part empty.

(seen on another group)
When NASA was preparing for the Apollo project, some of the training of the astronauts took place on a Navajo reservation. One day, a Navajo elder and his son were herding sheep and came across the space crew. The old man, who spoke only Navajo, asked a question that his son translated. "What are these guys in the big suits doing?"
A member of the crew said they were practising for their trip to the moon. The old man got all excited and asked if he could send a message to the moon with the astronauts. Recognizing a promotional opportunity, the NASA folks found a tape recorder.
After the old man recorded his message, they asked his son to translate it. He refused. The NASA PR people brought the tape to the reservation, where the rest of the tribe listened and laughed, but refused to translate the elder's message.Finally, the NASA crew called in an official government translator. His translation of the old man's message was: "Watch out for these guys; they have come to steal your land."
