You’re looking at Roy Rogers with the saddle he (and Trigger) used in the Rose Bowl Parade on New Year’s Day, 1952. He was the Grand Marshal.
At this point, Roy had left Republic and features for TV, though Paramount’s Son Of Paleface would arrive later in ’52.
Here’s wishing everybody out there a great 2021. And as Roy used to say, “May the good Lord take a likin’ to ya!”
Happy New Year to you as well; hope it could or can be.
Happy New Year , Toby and family and to all your readers.
I can’t remember if that saddle was on display at the RR Museum in Apple Valley when we visited in 2000. That was a visit I will never forget though. No longer there of course sadly. Great picture, Toby!
Happy New Year to all. Thanks Toby for your wonderful blog !
Bonne année à tous. I read your blog every day.
We will not see the like of Roy again, alas.
