Washington Times, 01-August-1925

Fritz was William S Hart's pinto pony. His home and ranch are now the William S. Hart Regional Park. Hart's first picture for United Artists would be Tumbleweeds. This was his last starring feature. 

DRY THOSE TEARS

FANS, PINTO’S

ALL RIGHT

Many personal inquiries and letters received by William S. Hart in respect to the Pinto pony, whose innumerable friends are anxious to know where and how he is, and what he is doing.

The Pinto, be it known, is luxuriating at Bill Hart’s Newhall ranch and once a week, invariably, his master visits him with carrots and sugar and caresses, which the pony accepts with all the dignity of a king, nosing out the other horses and refusing to leave Bill alone until certain the sugar supply is exhausted.

Meanwhile Elizabeth, the giant mule which Bill Hart acquired some years ago during the making of a picture, is almost as insistent as the Pinto.

Wonderful fields in which to graze, plenty of fodder, weekly gifts of special delicacies dear to the equine heart -- and best of all a sight of their beloved master -- this is the condition in which Bill Hart’s horses and other stock exist. And Bill, on his periodic visits, is Just as nappy to see the animals as they are to see him.

So, to all his friends In the world of men, the Pinto sends his kind regards and best wishes.

Hart is now preparing to start his first production for United Artists release and in this picture many horses, including the Pinto, will appear.
