About Trigger
As per Rogers and those close to him, the trigger was incredibly clever and simple to think up. On his hind legs he appeared to be able to sit in a chair, wrap a scarf around himself, and even sign his name with an X. Aside from the actor, Trigger was the star of the show; as his star rose, so did Rogers’s. For this reason, a dedicated equine room was included in Rogers’ museum.
