Trigger was born in 1932 and died, presumably of old age, in 1965. His son, Trigger Junior, replaced him in the movies circa 1957/8, as the old boy was apparently too old and infirm for chasing the crooks at that stage. He seems to have enjoyed about seven or eight years of happy retirement with Roy, Dale and company before eventually going to his well - earned reward in that happy valley in the sky, where pastures are always green and skies are always blue. Here's hoping he's now reunited with those who loved and cared for him in this world - Roy, Dale and their family, his other human friends including Gabby, Smiley, Bob and all the Sons of the Pioneers - and also of course Trigger Jr., Buttermilk and Bullet. Irish Readers should be interested to know that Roy and Trigger came to Dublin for a number of appearances in the Theatre Royal in the early or mid '50's where the beautiful Golden Palimino performed many fabulous tricks (of which he is reputed to have known about 60) as befitted "The Smartest Horse in the West. During that visit, Trigger was stabled in the rear of a Georgian premises in Merrion Sq., now the headquarters of the Irish Auctioneers and Valuers Institute (IAVI). T.M Regarding Trigger Jr., most writers seem to agree that Trigger Jr. was not actually related to the original Trigger. Trigger Jr. was purchased to relieve the stress on the original Trigger of a heavy travel and performance schedule.
