yes
did matt Dillon really ride his horse
Yes
He rode a number of different horses - Marshal , Faithful Old 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.
It seems that the buckskin colored horse that Ben Cartwright rode in Bonanza was the same horse that was used by Marshal Matt Dillon in the series Gunsmoke.

a Buckskin Quarter 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.
Matt Dillon, Gunsmoke, rode a buckskin horse.
Well there were several horses used, but all were buckskin colored Quarter Horses.

My Horse is a Buckskin. The color and pattern of my horse is called, "Buckskin." I have buckskin gloves. They are really supple.
Buckskin is not a breed of horse but a color. There is a buckskin registry but it has nothing to do with the breed of the horse but his coat color. The Pinto registry is the same thing. The Buckskin registry will take any breed of horse as long as it has the buckskin color.
buckskin Buttermilk was a buckskin colored quarter horse.
Buckskin is a color, not a breed.
