Yellow Mount 
(APHA Supreme Champion)
The first horse to become an APHA Champion was the 1964 dun overo stallion Yellow Mount. Sired by a Quarter Horse and out of Lady Yellow Jacket, the APHA's Lifetime Leading Dam of World Champions, Yellow Mount greatly influenced the Paint breed. Of the 39 horses who have earned the title of APHA Supreme Champion, one is Yellow Mount and four are his progeny. Yellow Mount has earned points on the race track, calf roping, barrel racing and the list goes on. His progeny are still 'all-around working horses'...they can go from the show ring to rodeo arena and still take you down the trail for a nice peaceful ride.

PICTURES:

Yellow Mount may have been the best known Paint Horse stallion in the world.
Mr. and Mrs. Williamson, the owners of Yellow Mount, commissioned a well
known western artist, Orren Mixer to do a painting of Yellow Mount with his
mares and foals. Reproductions of this painting were used by the APHA for
promotion of the breed and several thousand were sent out all over the world.
