Default Where to ground horn?

Not sure if my horn is stock(there are two of them), but my horn circuit shorted and stayed on so i disconnected the horns(well, not me but my mom, I was trying to disconnect battery). Anyway, I now have a ground wire and i don't know where it goes. Can i just ground it to the mounting bracket? Looks like that's what was done on the other one.

If your horn is bolted to any metal part of the car it is grounded. If it is still blowing, perhaps your horn relay is stuck open?
