Do you know the name of the Lone Ranger's horse before he found Silver?

According to http://members.aol.com/babsbabs/AprAns.html and http://www.cowboypal.com/hosses3.html , John Reid had a gray horse named Pony Hoss for eight years before he became the Lone Ranger and found Silver in Wild Horse Canyon. I believe that Pony Hoss was killed by the bandit Butch Cavendish, or a member of his gang. This is according to the TV show, though... I don't know if the horse's name was the same in the radio show (where the Ranger first appeared), movies, comic strips, or comic books.

UPDATE: According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lone_Ranger, the Lone Ranger's earlier horse on the radio show was named Dusty.
