It seems that the buckskin colored horse that Ben Cartwright rode in Bonanza was the same horse that was used by Marshal Matt Dillon in the series Gunsmoke.
Quarter horse.
Hoss (Horse - as in big as...)
I don't think it was ever revealed how he acquired the horse.
Ben Cartwright's horse's name was Buck. Buck, in real life, lived to be 45.

I think the most famous buckskin would have to be Ben Cartright's horse on Bonanza. Ben was played by Lorne Green.
It seems that the buckskin colored horse that Ben Cartwright rode in Bonanza was the same horse that was used by Marshal Matt Dillon in the series Gunsmoke.
