Blackburn Foundation Quarter Horses ~
Standing Mr Blackburn 946 - Registered FQHR, NFQHR, & WFQHA, 100% Foundation.

Welcome to Blackburn Foundation Horses website. The Blackburn Foundation Ranch is owned and managed by myself, Lynette Leier. The ranch is located approx 40 miles SE of Minot, 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.

Our broodmare band is Blackburn, Poco Bueno, & Pretty Buck. Perty Buck Poco X Mr Blackburn 41 X Pretty Buck. Some of the mares are proven point earners and the rest have been used at home, down the road or on cattle.

Offering historically proven genetic bloodlines & pretty color as a bonus. My program is built on Performance, Foundation, & Heart. My 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 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.

Come in - enjoy your visit!

In Memory To My Late Husband, Leslie......
He made my dream come true.
