Blackburn History
Welcome to Blackburn Foundation Horses page. The Blackburn Foundation Ranch. The South Ranch is located approx 40 miles SE of Minot, ND and the North Ranch is approx. 4 miles south of Granville, ND. My roots in the horse business run deep - back several generations. My grandparents used foundation horses, utilizing the Blackburn lineage that Harold Schaefer brought up from Texas with own daughters of Blackburn. Relatives of mine help haul those mares up from Texas, and worked on the original Blackburn ranch in Bismarck, ND.
My stallion, Mr Blackburn 946 (Deceased) Performance ROM is a double bred Mr Blackburn 40, AQHA Champion, sire of AQHA Champions, ROMS, Superior Perf Awards, & NRHA money earners. My broodmare band is Blackburn, Poco Bueno, & Pretty Buck. Most of the mares go back through Perty Buck Poco X Mr Blackburn 41 X Pretty Buck. Mr Blackburn 41's get earned 142 AQHA PTs, ROMS, Show Perf Awards, and NRHA money earners of $5665.
The stallions, Jaz Acero Hombre, Blackburn Grulloczar, and SR My Poco Blackburn will carry on the program, being bred to daughters of Mr Blackburn 946, and daughters of Jaz Acero Hombre, along with other Blackburn mares we have.
Offering historically proven genetic bloodlines & pretty color as a bonus. Our program is built on Performance, Foundation, & Heart. My family has used these horses in Rodeo, AQHA Shows, 4-H, Ranch Horse Competitons, Open Shows, Trail Riding, & on cattle. BLACKBURN #2228 is still listed as #5 of the All-Time Leading Broodmare Sires of AQHA Champions. This is quite a feat considering that BLACKBURN was foaled in 1927. POCO BUENO sired 36 AQHA champions, 18 of which are from daughters or granddaughters of BLACKBURN. POCO BUENO is listed as #3 of All-Time Leading Sires of AQHA Champions. All Horses 5 Panel N/N.
