Dandy - Horse rode by Lt. Col. George Armstrong Custer (Wayne Maunder) while he was stationed at Fort Hays, Kansas on the western adventure THE LEGEND OF CUSTER/ABC/1967. Between the years 1868-1876, Custer owned a few horses. In 1868, he purchased Dandy, a bay gelding for $140 from a Quartermaster at Fort Riley, Kansas. He also purchased Vic, a white stocking sorrel thoroughbred with a blaze on his head while in Kentucky. Vic died in the 1876 battle of the Little Big Horn. Dandy died in 1881 and was buried with full military honors at Monroe, Michigan.

TRIVIA NOTE: Comanche, the horse of Captain Miles W. Keogh, was the lone survivor at the Big Horn confrontation.
