History
The tune's real name is "Snowshoes." Nashville session fiddler Tommy Jackson recorded it under that name in 1962.
The "Spotted Pony" name came from a mistake. On a 1967 Voyager LP of Missouri fiddler Pete McMahan, the tune went unannounced, and Vivian Williams, who edited the tape, heard someone say "Spotted Pony" and took it for the title. The record was a favorite among West Coast old-time players, and the name stuck.
