Ed was a handsome palomino gelding with a lot of personality, not to mention patience! Mr. Ed had a lot of friends. He and Wilbur's wife had a sort of understanding. Ed had a grudging respect for her, and she felt the same about him. The thing about Ed was that he really needed Wilbur(The mad who put a roof over Eds head), I mean, living in a garage with no other horses to play with. Wilbur also supplied an outstanding orer of carrots, hay, sweet feed and nice, pure spring water. This is not to mention main service which a lot of people didn't know about. This was all during and in the show/movie Ed made.

Behind the scences: Mr Ed was played by a palomino named Bamboo Harvester. he was a liberty trained(no lead line) by Lester Hilton, who had learned a little from Will Rogers. The voice of Ed was performed by actor Allan "Rocky" Lane. Ed had a double! Pumpkin was a quarter horse but looked very much like Ed, except for a gold spot in the middle of his white blaze. This spot was covered with white make-up when he worked as Ed's replacement. Ed was jealous(seriously!) of Pumpkin, who lived in the stall next door. If visitors went to meet Pumpkin first, Ed would get really mad, and stomp out the back door of his stall into a paddock. He would not come back, even for carrots! Mr Ed is dead now but his memories of such a wonderful horse actor live on. Below are a few pictures of him.
