TARZAN THE WONDER HORSE

Tarzan the Wonder Horse, Ken Maynard's horse in his cowboy western movies from 1925 to 1940. Maynard bought the half Arabian half American Saddle horse for $50 in 1925, and he named him Tarzan, after Edgar Rice Burroughs' fictional character, but Burroughs sued him, and they settled on him always being billed as "Tarzan the Wonder Horse". It took a couple of years for the horse's career to take hold, with his first major role in 1927 in "Somewhere in Sonora", but after that, he and Maynard were inseparable. When the horse died in 1940, Maynard's career, which had already gone downhill, fell even further. Tarzan was buried in the Hollywood Hills, but the gravesite is currently unknown.
