What was xenas horses name

What happens to equine stars after they retire from showbiz? Yes, I am a bit of a sci-fi nerd and when sci-fi and horses collide… watch out! After all, Xena was fun but the real star of the show was her faithful steed, Argo. Argo carried the warrior princess throughout ancient Greece taking part in wild, outlandish adventures. Once she was miniaturized Argo not Xena and then she died and came back to life Argo and Xena… on multiple occasions. Argo was played by several lovely palominos between the ages of 10 and The primary Argo was played by a horse named Tilly.

A character had to be created, then an animal found to match the look. Though it is true that Arabians were one of the more common horses, this horse seems to have nothing resembling any Arabian bloodlines. The Greeks and Romans did have some breeds that were more of a smaller build, but even with breeding to the taller heavy-breed, there may not be a completely refined breed unless it came from the spanish, with their many breed-types that were introduced throughout the world.

Her face is more like that of the horses listed above, and his height is much too big to be that of the compact Arabians that were seen. Arabians also do not usually have the Palomino coloring.

The actor-horse for Argo is very similar to that of the American Saddlebred much different than a regular Saddlebred : it's got the right face and the right neck.

It would explain where the height came from. Still, the horse does not have the movement of an American Saddlebred, so it would only be a hint if anything.

It is obviously not a purebred, so there looks to be a bit of sport-type Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred. Though, it should be kept in mind that more than 1 horse was used for shooting. There were many different horses used for many different stunts.

Each of them is similar, but to a trained horse eye could be picked out. This makes her have more appearances than any other character, with the exception of four regulars Hercules , Iolaus , Xena, and Gabrielle and tied with Ares who also 71 appearances.
