Music Mount

Orren Mixer painting of Music Mount, 1955

Our stallion's maternal great-grandsire was Music Mount. As I've been hearing from people with Music Mount horses, I have begun to realize that he is an unsung hero of the horse world. Never have I had people contact me about a single horse on any of my horses' pedigrees like I've been experiencing with Music Mount!

So, I'm dedicating a page to all of us who are enjoying his legacy in their own horses. This page is definitely a work in progress, because I am glad to add info as people share it with me.

	Music Mount was bred by J.W. Shoemaker in Watrous, New Mexico
	Born 1944, died 1970
	Bought by Helen and Herman Snyder in 1946
	Stayed on the Ranch in Pendelton, Oregon from 1946 to his death in 1970, except for periods of cutting horse training in Ellensburg, Washington
	He died in his corral of heart attack, moments after breeding his final mare
	He earned the performance register of merit in Cutting
	Grand Champion in every halter class he ever entered (unverified...from a Music breeder)
	406 registered foals
	Superior Halter Sire
	Superior Performance Sire
	AQHA Champion Sire
	Race Get Money-earners
	ROM Performance Sire
	Race ROM Sire

	Music Mount was bred to some mares from someone's bucking string at one time, and their offspring (though few in number) created a perception with some people that the MM line is "broncy." While that may be true of some of those offspring, such as the foals he sired out of Music Maiden, it is definitely not true of all MM horses.
