This 1985 red dun stallion won the Snaffle Bit and Reining Futurities at the 1988 Wyoming State Fair. In 1990 he won the Heeling Futurity at the Wyoming State Fair. In addition he is an NRHA and USTRC money earner. He is a heeling and calf roping horse, winning at both. In 1995 he was the Versatility Champion at the Foundation Quarter Horse Registry Round-Up & Review. He is a full brother to our stallion, Red Mark Blanton.

Wyoming 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.

Wyoming 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 red dun stallion stands 15.1 hands and weighs 1225 pounds. He is siring mostly duns and buckskins with small heads, big hips, and great dispositions with a lot of athletic ability and cow sense. Wyoming Blanton's first foals are currently winning in both the show and rodeo arenas, along with one National Barrel Horse Association's money winner.
