Red Mark
Blanton carries some of the greatest bloodlines in history.
He is sired by Short Go Luck, who goes to the great
Lucky Blanton; "The Rope Horse Sire." A top
heading, heeling, steer roping and calf roping horse,
Lucky Blanton carried his owner, Tom Mattart, to the
pay window so often in team roping and single steer
roping that he became considered by many as the best
rope horse in California, while also competing as a
racehorse and standing at stud.
Lucky Blanton
sired more top rope horses than any other Quarter Horse
living at the time. At the prestigious Salinas Rodeo
a photo was taken of ten of his thirteen get working
the rodeo. All were about the same height and conformation
with top-named cowboys on their back. His get were obviously
in demand by professional ropers. Lucky Blanton became
one of the foremost maternal grandsires of performance
horses in California. His daughters have shown great
production abilities with AQHA Champions, AAA Race horses,
Superior Halter horses and reined cowhorse champions
to their credit. The Lucky Blanton horses were also
known for their versatility, as many of the colts were
raced and roped on at the same rodeo. It is no wonder
Lucky Blanton daughters were the pride of many well
known breeding programs, such as Spencer Childers, Perry
Colton, the Sessions Ranch and Rancho Jabali.
Red Mark
Blanton's dam, Wilmeth's Rose, also goes back to Lucky
Blanton, making him a double bred Lucky Blanton. Wilmeth's
Rose goes back to San Siemon, who sired many fine horses
showing speed, balance and plenty of cow savvy. He was
the father of countless using horses. As a colt SanSiemon
was a top cow and using horse until he ws injured while
roping a big steer on rough ground. San Siemon and his
full brothers and sisters were some of the most intensely
bred Traveler horses, and San Siemon was considered
the best in the lot.
This sorrel
stallion stands 15.2 hands and weighs 1400 pounds. Red
Mark Blanton is siring sorrels, bays, browns, and duns
with bone, muscle, dispositions and athletic ability.
