MyFriendFlicka with Johnny Washbrook as Ken, was filmed at a ranch in Montana as well as the studio ranch.
John did say that he was really extremely fond of the horse, whom everyone referred to as 'Flicka.' For some reason, she was not supposed to give birth due to some condition, and after the series she was sold to a rancher, who in turn sold her again.
Flicka was at Fat Jones Stables, where Les Hilton worked with her.
