In 1975 when the Gunsmoke TV Series ended, actor Lorne Greene bought The Buckskin Horse (whose real name was Danny,) that he and James Arness shared riding in between Studios from 1959-1973.
Lorne kept him until 1979 and then he donated Danny to a Therapeutic Riding Center. where the horse was used to help teach mentally and physically challenged children to ride, until his death in 1992 at the age of 45 (an unusually long life for a horse). Most horses live 20-30 years.
