Giddy Up, Partner! Rare Snapshots of Roy Rogers’ Cowboy Chronicles!
Early Love for Horses
In 1919, the Slye family packed up again and moved to Duck Run, a farm near Lucasville, Ohio. Andrew Slye, Roy’s father, took a job at a Portsmouth shoe factory, only coming home on weekends with gifts in tow.
Among these treasures was a horse, sparking young Roy’s passion for horsemanship. Picture a little cowboy-in-the-making galloping around the farm! This early gift laid the foundation for Roy’s future as a Western star, igniting a love for horses that would carry him to Hollywood.
