[RC] Fw:Little Blackie, True Grit - Dot Wiggins

Just a side light to this.
Kim Darby was not a rider, she refused to ride any horse except the black and white paint Little Joe rode on Bonanza. Since paints of any kind were not common, unpopular in fact, in the time and place of the True Grit story, they dyed the horse's spots black, all but the stockings. There are times when you can see the markings under the dye.
Just in case you watch True Grit when you can't ride this winter. (:>)

I think it went- "one white foot buy him, two white feet try him, three white feet deny him, four white feet and a white nose- cut off his hide and feed and feed him to the crows." Mattie Ross ( Kim Darby)told that to Little Blackie the Texas pony as she picked him out adding that she didn't believe it in True Grit. Barbara
