I can't seem to find this information on the web. Does anyone know when the horse who played Mr. Ed was born and when he died?
Thanks.

It is said that Bamboo Harvester (who played Mister Ed) was foaled in 1949 in El Monte, California. In 1968 at the age of 19, Bamboo suffered from a variety of heart problems including a broken leg. He was later put to sleep in 1970, with no publicity.

This may be 33 years late, but, Rest in Peace, Bamboo Harvester. You made a wonderful show and will never be forgotten.

In fact, let's remember them all.

Larry Keating (1896-1963)
Bamboo Harvester (1949-1970)
Allan "Rocky" Lane {Voice of Mr. Ed} (1909-1973)
Jack Albertson (1907-1981) {Paul Fenton, Kay's Brother}
Leon Ames (1902-1993)
Edna Skinner (1921-2003)
