In 1991 the AQHA began the Silver Spur Award. This is the equine version of an Academy Award. There have only been three winners of the Silver Spur since it was begun.
The first winner was Plain Just Bar. Better known as “Cisco” the horse Kevin Costner rode in the movie Dances With Wolves. For those wondering, Cisco is alive and well after his heroic death scene. If you have ever questioned what exactly a “buckskin” colored horse was, Plain Just Bar is a perfect example.
The second winner of the Silver Spur was Docs Keeping Time. The star of the movie Black Beauty, Docs Keeping Time has been busy in Hollywood. He has appeared in Busch Beer commercials, The Horse Whisperer (Gulliver) and also in the Black Stallion series on Television.
The last winner of the award was Rambo Roman, the horse (Rimrock) Robert Redford rode in The Horse Whisperer. Supposedly Redford was so impressed with Rambo, he bought him outright as a pleasure horse.
