The gelding - once named Taffy - had been abused in his early life well before being purchased by one of Hollywood's leading animal trainers.<br><br>It's a shame that he Evans' family doesn't have the taste to forgo selling these beloved animals and giving them a proper final rest.

I grew up watching the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Show.<br>Later my husband and I met Roy and Dusty (his son). Met Dusty at the local radio station in Victorville, CA and later Dusty and Roy stopped by our table (my husband was a custom knife maker) at the Great Western Gun and Knife show at the LA County Fair Grounds.  Boy, what great memories!! We lived in Victorville for about nine years and also visited the Roy Rogers Museum.<br>It's a real shame that our economy has ruined so many wonderful things!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[konfettees]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2010 9:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Donate the horses to the Kentucky Horse Park museum! ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anonymous]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2010 8:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[YOUR ARE SO RIGHT ON THIS..WHERE HAS ALL OUR TRUE HEROS GONE.

I would imagine they'd keep them if they weren't interested in the money.  But if it's truly not the money, I wish they'd donate it all to the Smithsonian and I wish the Smithsonian would accept it all.  Trigger, Buttermilk an dBullit ARE at rest.  Their bodies are of no concern to them any longer.  But they are to us and they need to be preserved.  This breaks my heart.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Gloria]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 16th 2010 1:18AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[     And where would Dale be in this line-up?????]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[C.W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2010 11:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[     And where would Dale be in this line-up????]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[C.W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 11th 2010 11:24PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Too bad this collection has to be sold and scattered.

Roy and Dale were solid examples of the capitalism of the '50 and '60s.  They only cared about personal gain.  The museum collection had no sentimental value.   Sentiment, loyalty and caring for things other than money were simply prop-themes to make them attractive on TV.  <br><br>Dale and Roy taught their children well to emulate their crass commercial interest in things and the exclusion of other values.  So the children don't donate old things to museums, but rake in what they can right now, while ensuring that their parents' legacy is scattered to the wind, to be lost and forgotten, while they live on the small addendum to their already great wealth that an auction might bring.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tom]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2010 7:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Because, as always, it come down to "How much money can we make off this?". Cover 2 of my "pet peeves" (literally) the enslavment of animals for our own entertainment (Poor animals can even escape it in death) and the need to use everything andf anything to turn a profit. Perhaps we should allow the animals to teach us a few things. Ever see any animal care about how much money it's going to make??]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[darqueartny]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2010 4:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's a shame they didn't donate all this memorabilia to the Gene Autry Western Heritage Museum.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[cabrunet]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2010 8:20PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[The already moved the musuem from Victorville, Ca. to Branson, Mo. which continued it for about 10 yrs. longer.  They can only do so much in this economy.  If the musuem isn't making enough to maintain it one finally has to bite the bullet and ride off into the sunset.  The children have really been devoted and done the best they can.  They are also getting up in age.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[shlonerider38]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 18th 2010 12:29AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[I totally agree that it is a shame the collection is being sold.  The sad thing is, it'll probably get sold to some foreign collector from Japan or someplace similar.  That is what happened when the 75,000 or so artifacts at the Wells Fargo Museum in Tombstone, AZ were sold back in 1983.  And we Americans only heard about it from a very small innocuous place in the local newspaper AFTER the fact!!  Think about it, American History of any kind or form being sold to someone who can't possibly appreciate its true value, and I'm not talking monetary value. It's a sad, sad day:(]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jackie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jun 15th 2010 10:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Roy Rogers Museum Auction Includes Trigger, Nellybelle]]></title><link>http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.luxist.com/2010/06/14/roy-rogers-museum-auction-includes-trigger-nellybelle/</guid><description><![CDATA[Roy Jr. said last year that no one was coming to the museum any more.
