Blackburn Foundation Quarter Horses

Welcome to Blackburn Foundation Horses website. The Blackburn Foundation Ranch has expanded and grown in the last few years. We now have 2 locations. I have moved to the NORTH unit of the Blackburn Ranch, with Tyler McCabe (Granville, ND). The Blackburn Ranch-South (Velva, ND) is operating under my children, Justina and her son Jarrett Bilby, along with Lyrissa and Justin Ronyak.

The Blackburn Ranch-South is located approx. 40 miles SE of Minot, ND. The Blackburn Ranch-North is located approx. 22 miles E 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 original Blackburn ranch in Bismarck, ND.

My daughter, Justina Bilby and I have partnered on two of our stallions. Jaz Acero Hombre & SR My Poco Blackburn.

We couldn't be more pleased with these two senior stallions, they are both outstanding horses, with respect, kindness, big hearts, and what we call the gentle gene. They have been crossed on daughters of Mr Blackburn 946, and have proven to be an asset in preserving and perpetuating the magic cross of Poco Bueno and Blackburn.

Along with the two senior stallions, we have Blackburn Grulloczar. He has AQHA points in Reining & Ranch Versatility. He is being crossed on daughters of Jaz Acero Hombre, and other Blackburn mares.

We also stand SR My Poco Tee J. He is a son of SR My Poco Blackburn and he has also proven himself as a great ranch horse. We are crossing him on the daughters of Mr Blackburn 946 & Jaz Acero Hombre.

We will continue to offer historically proven genetic bloodlines & pretty color as a bonus, the old recipe the Waggoner Ranch started so many years ago. Our program is built on Performance, Foundation, & Heart. The goal in breeding these Blackburn horses is to produce foals that have conformation, disposition, speed, ability, & versatility, with good trainable minds, good arena prospects, all-around ranch horses, or family riding horses. My family has used these horses in Rodeo, AQHA Shows, 4-H, Ranch Horse Competitions, 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 Genetic Test N/N.
