The official website doesn't say anything but "there were several horses," but two of the horses were Marshal and Buck.
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.
James Arness, who portrayed Marshal Matt Dillon in "Gunsmoke," reportedly used around 20 buckskin jackets throughout the series. The jackets were integral to his character's rugged Western look and were designed to withstand the rigors of filming. Each jacket was tailored for different scenes, reflecting the wear and tear of a lawman in the Old West.
He rode a number of different horses - Marshal , Faithful Old Buck .
In the TV show "Gunsmoke," Marshal Matt Dillon rode three different buckskin horses over the course of 20 years. The horses were named Chub, Dolph, and Midge.
Buckskin is a color and not a true breed. So considering that many buckskin colored horses are Quarter horses, and most Paint horses descend from Quarter Horses that would mean the cross would run at the same speed as a purebred of either breed. Between 40-50 MPH.
There are MANY many colours that horses come in: black, white, brown, chestnut, dun, buckskin, roan, spotted, etc.
A number of breeds of horses have the Creme gene which produces buckskin, palomino and smokey black in the Crcr (heterozygous) state and Perlino, Cremello and Smokey Creme in the CrCr (homozygous) state. Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, Morgans, Welsh Ponies, miniature horses, POAs, Appaloosas, Lusitanos and many of the warmblood breeds have the dilution genes to produce buckskins.
Because Buckskin is a color of horse and not an actually breed, it has nothing to do with how big the horse will get. Many breeds of horses are capable of coming in the buckskin coloring and therefore , the color can range from the smallest horse size (around 4.2 hands, or 18inches) to the largest available horse sizes, nearly 21hh (or around 82 inches or just over 6ft, 10inches).

Buckskin is a yellowish material made from a male deer. It can be used in many different ways. The buckskin can be used in making a shelter or a home. It can also be used to keep warmth on their bodies in the Winter. And the Native Americans could have put the buckskin on the inside of the shelter of home to help keep the coldness outside in the Winter. -Keegen Miles
