Best Answer

That particular horse belonged to the director Howard Hawkes. Although the horse, named Chocise, was flashy and appearently well-trained, Wayne didn't like the horse at all. I believe they had to replace the horse mid-shoot (El Dorado) and had much trouble finding a look-a-like to fill in.

Why did John Wayne ride and Appaloosa in El Dorado?

That horse was the director's idea. He was very flashy but was an airhead and John Wayne hated him. I think this was the movie where JW backed that Appaloosa over a wooden bridge. I don't know if this is correct but I think they had to replace that horse 1/2 way through the filming because it was such an idiot. add: I'm thinking the director was Howard Hawkes and I had heard that he actually owned that particular horse. Don't know if that is true or not.
