, but during a raise negotiation with Ince, Hart was able to acquire ownership of Fritz. Fritz was known for his ability to do unique and risky stunts. He could jump into moving rivers, through windows, over fire, and "allow himself to be thrown to the ground after a sudden stop." In his autobiography, Hart speaks lovingly of Fritz, and describes some of their stunts together. One in particular illustrates the danger of the stunts Fritz performed and the love Hart felt for his "pinto pony". While filming a scene for the 1920 film ''The Toll Gate'', Hart and Fritz were caught in a whirlpool: After his retirement from film, Fritz lived out the rest of his 31 years at Hart's California ranch. His grave is marked by a cobblestone monument that reads: “Bill Hart's Pinto Pony Fritz—Aged 31 Years—A Loyal Comrade”.

Tony

The first horse to bear the name “The Wonder Horse”, Tony was the companion of actor

Tony was immortalized in a series of junior novels and comic books, including the 1934 children's book ''Tony and his Pals''. Tony was famous in part because Mix, the film industry, and the media were able to anthropomorphize him. In the films, his horseness was continually reaffirmed; at the same time, so was his ability to understand language, what was going on around him, and why. Animals are not complicit in the process by which they are made to mean something. Tony is most known for his intelligence and ability to perform remarkable stunts, many of which would not be allowed today due to the danger involved. Tony performed in the years before the

oversaw the use of animals on American productions. Since animals do not 'agree' to be actors (cannot verbalize agreement), the American Humane Association began to oversee how animal labor was created, filmed, and commercialized in 1940, eight years after Tony's retirement. Tony was a naturally gaited Tennessee Pacer or Walking horse. he received his initial breaking and gait training from Kentucky trainer Tom Brinley. A later owner Pat Chrisman further trained him for tricks and stunts, then sold him to Tom Mix. Mix reportedly did not have to train Tony, but simply show him what to do for each feat. Mix could convey any sort of message to the pony by touches of the hand or fingers on Tony's neck, although speculation existed that whips, strong bits, and spurs were used. Such stunts included untying Mix’s hands, opening gates, jumping over high fences, getting tangled in ropes, loosening his reins, rescuing Mix from fire, jumping from one cliff to another, and running after trains.Turner, 11.

A program from the circus in 1931 made a statement about the bond between the pair: Tony retired from the film industry in 1932 at the age of 22, when he was slightly injured on the set of his last movie, '' The Fourth Horseman'' (1932). Following Tony's retirement, Tom Mix began featuring another horse of similar color and appearance in his films, Tony, Jr. A third horse, Tony II, was used for public appearances. Tony outlived Tom Mix, dying in 1942 at the age of 32, two years to the day after Mix was killed in a car accident. Tony's passing was noted in ''

''. Tony's longevity as a movie horse is remarkable due to the lack of veterinary care available in those years, and because of the strenuous stunts that were not regulated.

Rex

Known as “The Wonder Horse” and “King of the Wild Horses”, Rex was a black Morgan stallion with a fierce reputation. Despite the fact that over the years he was termed “mean”, “vicious”, “ornery”, “undependable”, “warped”, and “dangerous”, Rex was in the film industry for nearly 15 years, starring in over a dozen films. Few actors were willing to work with the wild horse, so a

Chasing one around in circles, rearing and bucking like a wild mustang, until he finally runs him off of a cliff, he sneaks up behind the other and nudges him with his nose over the ledge and into the watering hole.

. Together, they starred in over 60 films and serials from 1925 until Tarzan's death in 1940. While previous Wonder Horses had been used by their cowboy costars to perform impressive stunts, actor Ken Maynard was the first to take advantage of the merits of a talented horse. While Tarzan could perform stunts like jumping off cliffs, he was known better for his tricks, such as dancing, bowing, nodding his head to answer questions, playing dead, untying ropes, dragging Maynard to safety, or nuzzling him into the arms of the leading lady. Incredibly intelligent, Tarzan performed these stunts in response to word commands from Maynard.
