Tonto

[silly moo]

What was the name of Tonto's horse in the FIRST cinema film featuring the Lone Ranger and Tonto?

[B00]

Tonto's horse is named "Scout." He's a spotted palamino or "paint."
 Originally, Tonto rode double with the Lone Ranger on Silver. After a publicity photo was taken of the Lone Ranger and Tonto this way, WXYZ wisely decided to give Tonto his own steed. Scout was originally supposed to be solid white like Silver, but when they made the movie serials they realized that it would make Silver less impressive that way, so Scout was changed. Despite rumors to the contrary, Scout was always named Scout

Actually, in the first radio programs (1933)Tonto had a white horse named White Feller and the Lone Ranger had a Chesnut, named Dusty....  In a program titled "The Legend of Silver" the Lone Ranger acquires Silver after Dusty dies.  By the time the radio program was depicted in movie serials (1948), Silver was well established and Scout had replaced White Feller since they couldn't have two white horses...Scout was a paint horse as Boo relates...
