Ride Him, Cowboy (1932)***

Warner Bro. Pictures
Director: Fred Allen

   Ride Him, Cowboy is a film staring Duke, John Wayne's horse; oh and John Wayne is there too. John Drury (Wayne) shows up in town to see Duke being tried for violent behavior. He saves the day by showing the horse can be broken and then helps rid the town of a villain known as "The Hawk" while winning the admiration of the horses owner Ruth Grant (Ruth Hall) all the while suspicious of stern townsman Henry Sims (Frank Hagney). Classic western stuff here with the horse tricks and a lot of running around though Wayne could use a bit more polish (still very early). This film is actually a remake of a silent western called The Unknown Cavalier (1926) but good luck finding a copy of that!
