The Ranch goals are met year after year because we invested
in a stallion that has everything we wanted and is consistently producing
like qualities in his “get”. A Music Tradition is by Music City Prince,
international champion and winner of the World Congress. His dam is Miss
April Charge, AAA running blood. This combination of some of the more respected
contemporary AAA Quarter Horse pedigrees (Depth Charge and Go Man Go) coupled
with the winning Appaloosa family, Prince Plaudit, produced our outstanding
Appaloosa stallion, A Music Tradition.
As a yearling, A Music Tradition won the San Diego County
Appaloosa Futurity, and went right up the line to win the Grand Nationals
at the Cow Palace being named Junior Grand Champion. As a two year old,
he was named Grand or Reserve Champion Stallion eleven times out of fifteen
National Point Shows. In his third year he began servicing mares and was
the stallion chosen to cover seven mares purchased by Appaloosa Horses
International that were then shipped to Israel to establish the Appaloosa
breed in that country. A Music Tradition was trained and campaigned in
Western and English Pleasure by the nationally respected horsewoman Judy
(Wright) Stowe. She took him to the 1986 World Championship where he placed
in the top ten in Hunt Seat Pleasure. This 1983 stallion stands 15.2 and
weighs approximately 1,200 lbs. He has sired over sixty foals, some living
in Germany and Israel, some racing in Mexico. He is producing 90% color
out of Appaloosa mares.
