ROY ROGERS STUFFED HORSE, TRIGGER, IS FOR SALE
It's an auction from the now-closed Roy Rogers Hall of Fame in Branson, Missouri.
Trigger is expected to fetch between $100,000 and $200,000, which confirms the view that perhaps the economy isn't so bad if someone can still shell out a couple of grand for a stuffed horse, even if it's not just any stuffed horse.

Love the horse, love the video, love Roy, Dale and Trigger, but when I heard he had Trigger "taxidermied" felt he might have stepped over a line I hope I never see.
This auction just adds insult to injury and I think even Roy would be upsep
