Tonto

When the 1938 Republic movie serial The Lone Ranger was being filmed, it was thought that having two white horses would be confusing, so the producers made "White Feller" a Pinto horse, presumably on the theory that, being partly white, a pinto could still be named "White Feller." The radio series, noting that the pinto in the film had gone over well with audiences, decided that Tonto's mount would henceforth be a pinto.
