The Adventures of Champion - The Classic 'Hero Horse' Series from the '50s is getting a Timeless DVD Release

Inspired by the popular Gene Autry radio show of the 1940s, this television series takes its name from the famous singing cowboy's beautiful horse Champion, a mustang running with a wild herd in the American Southwest of the 1880s. Autry's Flying A Studios and Gene Autry himself produced the series.

Ricky North, who like any boy, has a nose for trouble and adventure, lives on a ranch with his Uncle Sandy and his faithful German Shepherd, Rebel. Ricky and the wild stallion develop a bond and while Champion runs free, only Ricky can summon him with a whistle from the remuda. Time after time, Ricky, Champion and Rebel are faced with danger and risks that arise on the frontier, and it is Champion, a horse of great intelligence and speed, that often saves the day! No matter what scrapes Ricky manages to get himself into, the Wonder Horse and Rebel are on hand to save the day.
