Chromo the Ugly Range-Bred Bronco Earns Hall of Fame Mention
Chromo foaled in 1887 on a Madison county ridge near Virginia City. The horse, known as the ugliest in the band, outpaced riders and became famed as a swift mount for the army, including a noted half mile race against Express where Chromo won by many lengths. He faced danger in battle and died aiding a rider, earning posthumous respect as a legendary range horse.
