What became of Wyatt Earp’s horse, Dick Naylor?
Richard Schott, Fort Collins, Colorado
It seems Dick Naylor just disappeared from the pages of history. We know he was Wyatt’s favorite racehorse. Billy Clanton stole him soon after the Earps arrived in Tombstone. Wyatt retrieved him several months later in Charleston, and Virgil was riding him the evening Billy Claiborne was being transported to Tombstone after killing a man in Charleston.
Wyatt had a lot on his plate in the coming months
