>>>I was watching the TOS Star Trek I believe the episode was the City on
the Edge of Forever. ...Do you think this could have been the same buggy and
quite possibly the same horse?

It's definitely the same Dogwood Dairy Farms wagon, and very likely the same
horse too.  Dolly the white horse also appeared in a Gomer Pyle episode.

The Mayberry Main Street set (including courthouse, barbershop, and grocery)
was used in this Star Trek episode.  Downtown Mayberry can also be seen in
another ST episode, entitled "Miri."  This one is especially interesting,
because when the crew first beams down, a crane shot is used, giving us an
overhead view of Mayberry that we never get to see on TAGS.

For an even more unusual view of Mayberry, go rent the DVD "Switchblade
Sisters" (1975).  It's a terrible movie, but it's believed to be the last
production shot on the 40 Acres backlot before it was bulldozed.  It's
really strange, and also sad, to see downtown Mayberry looking like a slum.
If you do rent this DVD, do yourself a favor and just skip the first
two-thirds of the movie and watch only the last part, that's the part which
was shot on the Mayberry lot.
