Adios ~ Yellow Mount

Yellow Mount is easily the most famous American Paint Horse in history.  Foaled in 1964, he became APHA's first Champion just two years later.  This red dun pinto stallion excelled in everything!  He was a 2-time APHA National Champ in Halter, Reserve National Champ in Western Pleasure, and held ROMs in Barrel Racing, Calf Roping, Racing, and Reining, along with points in Trail... Not to mention being named APHA Supreme Champion in 1970.  He also won APHA National Champion Get of Sire a whopping 5 times and got the Reserve another 3 times!  APHA made him their "poster boy," using prints of a painting of him by Orren Mixer in promotional material for the breed.

Breyer's tribute model ran from 1970-1987, showing off Yellow Mount's beautiful markings so well that the Adios mold is often referred to as Yellow Mount these days.  One thing missing, though, on most of Breyer's renditions is a dorsal stripe, making him a chestnut pinto rather than a dun.  Early versions show a white marking on his right foreleg which went missing in later models.

This fellow is in Excellent condition with a light scattering of tiny rubs on his legs and tail tip, along with pinpoint eartip rubs.  No rubs were seen on his body, only mild age yellowing, which you can reverse with some time spent sunbathing.  He features nostril shading and muzzle pinking, and is one of the early ones, with the white foreleg spot.
