On the TV show "Gunsmoke," the character Buck was played by several different horses over the course of the series. The exact number of horses that portrayed Buck is not definitively documented, but it is estimated that at least five different horses were used for the role. Each horse was trained for specific stunts and scenes to ensure the safety and success of the filming process.
Marshal Matt Dillon rode a male buckskin horse on the TV show "Gunsmoke." Male horses are typically preferred for riding due to their size, strength, and behavior. Male horses, known as stallions or geldings, are often chosen for their temperament and suitability for working as a riding horse. In the case of Marshal Matt Dillon's horse, it was likely a male to best fit the character and requirements of the show.
They were not generally named. Festus' mule was named Ruth.
The official website doesn't say anything but "there were several horses," but two of the horses were Marshal and Buck.
Reports say Dillon's horse, Buck, retired into helping mental patients, learn to ride, until it's death in 1992. The horse was said to 45 years old, subtract that from 1992, you're at 1947. Gunsmokes first aired in 1955...that would have made the horse 8 years old, at the first episode.
Marshall Matt Dillon, star of TV's popular Western, Gunsmoke, rode a horse named Buck. Strangely, the horse's name was only mentioned once during Gunsmoke's twenty-season run. Dillon's friend Festus had a mule called Ruth. Evidently there were TWO horses named Buck because some of the Gunsmoke episodes have Marshall Dillon riding a buckskin horse with white stockings and some of the Gunsmoke episodes have Marshall Dillon riding a buckskin horse without any white stockings.

Well there were several horses used, but all were buckskin colored Quarter Horses.
No horses were shot in the filming of a Disney movie I can assure you, but, presumably bad?
No, all horses are trained to fall and alot of the scenes are done with special effects.
They were not generally named. Festus' mule was named Ruth.
There were several including Jockey Joe Dillon, who fought from 1917 to 1926. From February 1922 to May 1923: Dillon rode race horses for Charlie Stoneman, owner of the New York Giants.
I'm watching this movie as I text. In the first 10 minutes there is a hard and fast drive with the horses. I replayed three times and saw one or two horses go down and were trampled by the other horses. I would say yes, horses already injured if not killed or put down from this running scene. This movie was made in 2006, I "assumed" movie makers were better than this. Sad to say but I guess I "assumed" wrong.
