Best Answer

When Wayne was a child his transportation to and from school was a bony old horse (can't recall it's name). Although Wayne is best known for his westerns, they comprised only about one half of his total movie tally.

Most people would be surprised to find out that John Wayne was not a big fan of horses. He always said he would rather spend time with a dog. He liked dogs. In his later movies he used his own horse (Dollar), a 16hh chestnut with a wide blaze and long stockings. If my memory hasn't completely failed, the horse was sold shortly before or after his death in 1979 for $15,000.
