A modest man who dismisses some of his films as “terrible” and himself as “not a natural athlete,” Dobe nonetheless makes this claim to fame: “I was an expert horseman.”
“You can always tell a novice rider they aren’t comfortable in the saddle and have to hang on,” observes Carey. From Buck, other horses, and a small contingent of Navajo ranch hands, Dobe learned riding skills that would undergird his 50-plus years in films and television. The pony turned out to have a mean disposition, which eventually sent Carey, nicknamed “Dobe” for his dusty red hair, back to gentle Buck.
