Intro
The Blazer Horse was deveolped over a period of years by Neil Hinck from Star, Idaho. The result of his dream to breed a smart, strong, easy-moving and gentle working horse was a stallion he named Little Blaze.
Origins
Little Blaze was the combination of Quarter Horse, Thoroughbred, Morgan and Shetland bloodlines. He became the foundation sire in the 1950’s, living until he was 39. To be registered as a Blazer Horse, (even today) the horse must have at least one registered parent with a documented line to Little Blaze.
The Blazer is a low maintenance and highly adaptable horse who seems to excel at everything they try. Every horse that is registered as Blazer is scrutinized by a team from the registry and no horse is registered before age two.
