 (Courtesy of Boyd Magers) Crop from a lobby card from CHEYENNE RIDES AGAIN (Victory, 1937). |  | Horse #5 --- the next horse variation closely resembles the cayuse Tyler rode at FBO. But it doesn't match exactly --- this animal is dark, with a long face blaze and white socks on both rear legs. This horse is easy to spot as the face blaze has some "zig zags" near the left eye. Other films with Tyler atop this steed include PHANTOM OF THE RANGE (Victory, 1936), THE FEUD OF THE TRAIL (Victory, 1937) and BROTHERS OF THE WEST (Victory, 1937). (Courtesy of Les Adams) |

 (Courtesy of Calvin Castine) Horse #6 --- Tyler also rode what looks like a palomino in films like RIO RATTLER (Reliable, 1935), ORPHAN OF THE PECOS (Victory, 1937) and LOST RANCH (Victory, 1937). The above photo is from ORPHAN OF THE PECOS (Victory, 1937). Click HERE for another photo of Tom and this horse from ORPHAN OF THE PECOS (Victory, 1937). |
 Horse #7 --- the above publicity still is from Tom's days at Republic in the Three Mesquiteers series, and this white is probably Silver (Silver Chief) which was the horse used in the two Lone Ranger chapterplays.  Above, from L-to-R are Bob Steele (on Zane), Jimmie Dodd (on a rental/studio hoss) and Tom Tyler during their days as the last team of actors to portray the Three Mesquiteers during the final season of releases in 1942-43. |
