Blackburn Foundation Quarter Horses

Blackburn Foundation Quarter Horses Blackburn Foundation Quarter Horses Welcome to Blackburn Foundation Horses page. The Blackburn Foundation Quarter Horse Ranch has 2 locations.

The South Unit is located approx 40 miles SE of Minot, ND. The North Unit is 23 miles East of Minot, ND. Our 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 origi

nal Blackburn ranch in Bismarck, ND. Our founding stallion (Deceased), Mr Blackburn 946 is a double bred Mr Blackburn 40, AQHA Champion, sire of AQHA Champions, ROMS, Superior Perf Awards, & NRHA money earners. Our Broodmare Band is full of his daughters and granddaughters. One of his sons, Blackburn Grulloczar, stands stud, along with Jaz Acero Hombre, SR My Poco Blackburn, & SR My Poco Tee J. The broodmare band is full of Blackburn, Poco Bueno, King,& Pretty Buck lineage. 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. We offer 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 are 5 Panel Tested N/N

Just thought I would share how a Micro Chip is inserted into a horse. This is Blackburn Mc Mara and she is headed to Germany. It is required that they have a chip registered with the country before they will import. My first time seeing this, although some of my horses have chips. I just never seen it being done
