quote "another horse Buttermilk" ... he was Dave Evan's buckskin Quarter Horse and he died in 1972. The gelding - once named Taffy - had been abused in his early life well before being purchased by one of Hollywood's leading animal trainers.

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. Roy must be rolling over in his grave.

What a shame! I grew up watching the Roy Rogers & Dale Evans Show.
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.
It's a real shame that our economy has ruined so many wonderful things!
