Matt Dillon, Gunsmoke, rode a buckskin horse.
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.
That would be Arvo Ojala who was the gunfighter opposite Matt Dillon in the opening sequence of 'Gunsmoke' .

The dog's name was Chester. My father lived out on a ranch in South Texas and when Chester was retired he was given to the Coquat's, the ranch owners. My father played with Chester "the movie star" when he was a little boy.
The series 'Gunsmoke' took place in and around Dodge City, Kansas.
