Allen's Gold Zephyr
aka "Trigger Jr."

 

 

The original Trigger is said to be a cross between a Walking Horse and a Thoroughbred, but Trigger Jr. was a full-blooded Tennessee Walking Horse named Allen's Gold Zephyr! He was registered TWHBEA (#431975) and PHBA (#4055). The TWHBEA records that he was foaled on January 1st, 1941.

"Paul K. Fisher, Souderton, Pennsylvania, advertised in the 1946 Blue Ribbon magazine as being the world's largest breeder and dealer in yellow horses. He sold Trigger Jr. (pictured on the lead page) to Roy Rogers. Trigger Jr., registered as Allen's Gold Zephyr, was the most famous of all yellow horses. He was foaled in 1941; his sire was Barker's Moonbeam (#380497) and his dam was Fisher's Gray Maud (#420776). He was bred by C. O. Barker, Readyville, Tennessee. Barker's Moonbeam was sired by Golden Sunshine whose dam was Golden Lady. All were palominos." Harold Dean Givens in The Voice of The Tennessee Walking Horse Magazine published in January, 1991.

"Roy Rogers' original "Trigger" was a magnificent golden palomino purchased from Hollywood Studios in 1938. He bought "Trigger Jr." in 1948. This horse, ALLEN'S GOLD ZEPHYR, TWHBEA #431975, came from Paul K. Fisher's farm in Souderton, Pennsylvania. During the 1940's and 1950's, Paul was known for having the largest breeding farm in the U.S. for both palomino Tennessee Walking Horses and palomino Quarter Horses. His horses were in great demand, and among his prized stock was Allen's Gold Zephyr. He had beautiful conformation and a very stylish way of going. Zephyr was highly schooled and could accomplish a variety of difficult tricks." -   from "Roy Rogers & Gene Autry and Their Tennessee Walkers" by Grace Larson in Walking Horse News, September/October 2000
