Horses in Susan Slade: Cameo of Champion stud, Captain Topper
"Captain Topper, Champion Stud," made an appearance when Susan went to see her horse Chulo for the first time. According to the pedigree data base, that horse was a Shetland pony born in 1956. According to The Victoria Advocate (July 23, 1961), "The world's most costly Shetland pony, for which its owner paid $6000, was used in scenes for Warner Bros.' Susan Slade, filmed in Monterey County. The pony, named Captain Topper, belongs to Miss Patricia Burton of Detroit. Miss Burton operates a stud farm on the Monterey peninsula. Captain Topper was adjudged the greatest model stallion at the National Congress Pony Show in 1958 and 1959. It has won 17 championships and 40 blue ribbons."
I was wondering if the stables used in the film, "17 Mile Stables" was the very stud farm owned by Patricia Burton?
