BLACKHOME DUKE: (Photo right) PREMIER SIRE, undefeated for 8 years 1990-1998. After his death, he remained on the list for 5 years, and today his offspring continue to earn rankings on the list. NATIONAL CHAMPION, RESERVE WORLD CHAMPION.Produced a great number of champion offspring, including numerous National Champions and All Americans that became household names in the Percheron industry. SIRE of multiple: WORLD CHAMPIONS, NATIONAL CHAMPIONS, ALL-AMERICAN CHAMPIONS, PREMIER SIRES. The winning ways of the Blackhome Duke sons and daughters allowed him to dominate the Premier Percheron sire list for 9 consecutive years. The profound consistency of Duke’s production record has established him as one of the most prolific Percheron stallions of the past several decades. His sons and daughters have carried on in their sire’s footsteps, producing many All Americans, National, and World Champions which have served to cultivate a course for the modern Percheron. As a result, traces of this stallion can be found in a large portion of Percheron pedigrees today, and a keen-eyed breeder will still be able to appreciate the influence of his characteristic balance, style and presence that bleeds through yet today. Blackhome Duke’s production record has proven him to be a very equal peer to some of the greatest sires in the history of the breed, and he will be undoubtedly remembered as such for generations to come.

His sire was the Morgan horse, Vermont Black Hawk his dam was out of a mare by Robin, a presumed Morgan. He is listed No.43 in Wallace`s registry. Immortal John Wallace wrote, of all the horses that have been favorites with the American people, no one has ever approximated the popularity of Ethan Allen. This is also evidenced by the five Currier & Ives lithographs that featured him. He was a bright bay, barely 15 hands tall and, barring a rather crooked hind leg, was one of the most beautifully formed, perfectly gaited and personally attractive horses ever foaled. His career was long and memorable. In 1853 he set the 4-year-old record of 2:36. In 1858 he became the first horse to trot under 2:30, when he reduced the stallion record to 2:28. The great achievement of his life occurred on June 21, 1867, when, at age eighteen, hitched with a running mate, in 2:15, 2:16 and 2:19, he defeated Dexter to harness, over the Fashion Course. His best harness record was 2:25½ at the Union Course, NY in 1860. In his sixteen year career, at a time when horses raced five and six heats to determine the winner, he won 33 races, 22 to single harness. At stud Ethan Allen was also one of the best horses of his day. Always popular, his fee at one time was $500. He had six 2:30 performers. In succeeding generations his descendants multiplied with great rapidity and, directly and collaterally, his family became one of the most highly valued strains in existence. During his lifetime, he passed through numerous hands and finally died, the property of Colonel Amasa Sprague of Providence RI, at the Sprague and Akers Stock Farm, Lawrence, KS, September 10, 1876, aged 27.)

She was different … she had a nice Percheron quality. She had a nice foot, long neck and a nice flat hock.” College Lynda went on to become the Grand Champion at the RWF and in many show rings, and was also a cornerstone broodmare for the Blackhome Percherons, ensuring her a place in the history of her breed.

Mentor, bred by the Government Farm, arrived at UConn in 1951 when the Government herd was dispersed. In addition to Mentor, UConn was given the mares Penny, Pennsy, Quotation and Sheba. Mentor was a bit of a sensation when he arrived at UConn. He was a three-time National Champion and was considered by many horsemen of the time as possessing the “best form towards Morgan type in the world today.” He was touted as “the last hope of the Morgans,” to pass on his strength, brilliance and near-perfect classic Morgan conformation to the UConn herd and beyond. Mentor was a stunning equine specimen: his neck was thick with a clean throatlatch, his shoulder was sloping and powerful and his legs were sound and strong as steel. Highly intelligent, well-mannered and stately with a rich, dark chestnut coat, Mentor sired many foals during his time at UConn, including Quakerlady, Riviera, UC Highlife and UC Senator. Mentor left UConn in 1962 when he was sold to Mr. William Glenney of Coventry, Connecticut. Mentor remained gentle and kind in his golden years, and could sometimes be seen giving toboggan rides to delighted children across snow-covered fields. William Glenney loved his horse and provided the Champion with a comfortable retirement. Mentor breathed his last at age 27. The stallion’s body forever rests in that quiet, verdant land, less than twenty minutes away from the University where he left his proud hoofprints.
