Countless Americans grew up on this classic Western television series, which debuted in 1959 and ran until 1973, longer than any other Western in television history. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of this iconic show, Breyer® has created portrait Cochise Little Joe Cartwrights horse. Cochise was a beautiful black and white Paint horse chosen by Michael Landon, who portrayed Bens impetuous youngest son, Joseph Little Joe Cartwright. Its loud coloration provided a nice contrast to the buckskin, brown and chestnut horses ridden by other cast members.BONANZA® created by David Dotort, characters, elements and all related indicia®, TM, and ©2009 Bonanza Ventures, Inc.
