Thank you!

That horse is so beautiful...whenever I watch the movie and Cisco is in it I find myself looking at the horse more than anything else. Very, very nice colors.

You are welcome.

I love the colour - buckskin - and the horse is stunning. I bet Costner liked to work with Cisco.

Is that the name of the color? Bucksin?

That caramel skin with the black mane and tail hair is a gorgeous contrast.

You're right, I bet Costner liked to be with the horse, too. He gave it a good, wellrounded part in the movie.

It probably sounds weird but the horse seemed to like being on camera. There were a couple scenes where he seemed to be loving the attention. Just an all around beautiful animal.

Does a horse live that long to still be alive?

Buckskin, yes

As he was born in 1983 that would make him 33 years old now. Technically it could be but that's quite old for a horse and I think I read he died in 2008.

He looks like a quarter.. He's a beauty. I'm surprised Costner didn't buy him as other actors have become attached to their equine co stars and bought them..
