"Sam"
the horse who starred in
"Blazing Saddles" 

Even though all the HorseAid horses are special in their own way, we got two really interesting geldings into our program this past year. One is a "star" of sorts, a horse that all of you have probably seen at the movies or on TV, and in complete contrast the other is an absolute unknown ? he didn't even have a name, let alone an identity, before becoming a HorseAid horse. You will probably recognize Sam as the sheriff's horse in the 1974 Mel Brooks classic comedy, "Blazing Saddles." The flashy Palomino has been seen by movie fans all over the world, and he will forever be immortalized on film. Though old and toothless now, Sam is still chipper and loving. Donated by his owner of eight years after the man suffered a stroke, Sam had lost weight and was basically being neglected at his boarding stable. The San Bernardino Humane Society got involved, but thankfully Sam's owner was able to give the Palomino to HorseAid, who will care for him and give him the attention he requires for the rest of his life.
