Buy Trigger the Wonder Horse this week in New York. The famed Palomino was stuffed and exhibited at the Roy Rogers and Dale Evans Museum, and the place has closed. Roy and Dale’s treasures have been rounded up for auction at Christie’s on July 14-15. See the slide show here.
Bid on Trigger, Dale’s horse Buttermilk, Bullet the stuffed Wonder Dog, Nellybelle (the 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep driven by sidekick Pat Brady) and much more.
Happy Trails, buckeroos.
(Lyrics to “Happy Trails” by Dale Evans Rogers here, from the Official Roy & Dale website)
