Leo Moomaw raised, bought, traded and provided good bucking horses from 1915 to 1960. Dynamite, Blue Blazes and Badger Mountain were three of the many outstand bucking horses. In 1925 Blue Blazes was born on the old ranch at Monse, Washington. He started bucking bare back as a yearling and continued to buck into his late thirties. Badger Mountain was runner up to Hell’s Angel in a vote to determine the best saddle bronk in the world. Badger had a rearing style finished with a leap forward and a high kick. In his 20+ year bucking career it was estimated that only nine riders were able to make a qualified ride on the great horse. 

 In 1969 the Pendleton Round up opened it’s hall of fame. Two of the first inducted were Blue Blazes and Badger Mountain. Badger Mountain has also been inducted into the Ellensburg hall of fame.
