Michael Muir (born 1952),[1][2] born Michael John Hanna,[3] is the great-grandson of John Muir through daughter Wanda Muir Hanna and her son, Ross Hanna.[4] He is an avid horseman, carriage driver, disability rights advocate, and the founder of the Stonewall Sporthorse, a mix of Appaloosa, Percheron, Friesian, Knabstrupper, and various warmblood horse breeds. Muir first began breeding Appaloosas as a teenager in the 1960s, with Friesian infusions starting in 1996, and Knabstrupper crosses in 2001–2002.[5][6][7] He runs Rush Ranch, a historic 2,070-acre working ranch in California that is owned and managed by the Solano Land Trust, and is the director for disability nonprofit Access Adventure, which he established in 2005.[8][9] Muir, who has suffered from multiple sclerosis since he turned 15 years old in 1967, lives on his ranch in Vacaville, California.
