Other Information
From Western Horseman, March 1990 - "His registry number of P-6 tells us that he was among the first stallions registered by the American Quarter Horse Associaton. The records tell us that he is remembered as a sire of superior rope horses, broodmares, and sons that became outstanding sires.

Oklahoma Star was sired by a Thoroughbred, Dennis Reed, and was foaled in 1915. There has always been controversy about his dam, but the AQHA Stud Book lists his dam as Cutthroat, whose registered name was May Mattison TB, according to the late Tommy Moore, who bred Oklahoma Star. Moore lived at Mulhall, Oklahoma. Old-Timers have said that both Oklahoma Star and his dam were almost unbeatable in match races.

In 1932, Ronald Mason bought the bay stud and took him home to his Cross J Ranch at Nowata, Okla., where the horse lived the rest of his life. When Mason bought him, he said Star stood 14.3 hands and weighed about 1,075 pounds.

In an article written by Willard Porter (WH, Dec. '54), Mason is quoted as follows: "When I first saw Old Star, my mouth watered. he was just the kind of individual I wanted to cross on my mares.

"When good mares were bred to Old Star, he got good colts; when common mares were bred to him, he got good colts, too. No matter what you bred to Old Star, you'd get something you could do a day's work on - run a race, rope a calf, or bust a steer."

Mason bred proven mares of both Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred blood to Star. he also bred a lot of Star's daughter to Beggar Boy TB, and this cross was highly successful. Although STar is perhaps best remembered as a broodmare sire, he also produced outstanding sons - such as Sizzler, Congress Star, Double Star, Little Star, Nowata Star, Oklahoma Star Jr., Osage Star, Star Deck, and Starway.

Oklahoma Star died in 1942, at the age of 27. He was buried on the Cross J."
