This foundation bred stallion carries some of the greatest rodeo bloodlines in history. He is sired by Wyoming Blanton who goes back 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 not only 'out of the box', where he was going 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, but also in racing and while a stud. Lucky Blanton sired more top rope horses than any other Quarter Horse living at the same time. At the prestigious Salina 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 cow horse champions to their credit. The Lucky Blantons were also known for their versatility, as a lot 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 Cotton, the Sessions Ranch and Rancho Jabali.

It has been said of Lucky Blanton how extremely good and quiet his disposition was and how gentle he was. In addition, Phyllis Mattart said how hard he stopped and ran...how powerful his forearm and hip muscling was, but when you stood next to Lucky, you were aware of a plus quality that makes a great horse. Perhaps, it's intelligence combined with ability. It's hard to know and impossible to define. But one thing is sure, he has passed these qualities on to his decendents as seen in Skoal Bandit Blanton.

This stallion's dam goes back to two of the greatest and most influencial Quarter Horse Stallions in the history of the breed. The first one is Leo, who is one of the greatest broodmare sires in the breed. Leo put lightening speed in the majority of his offspring. His sons and daughters not only excelled on the racetrack, but in halter and cutting. He was recognized as a leading sire of arena horses. Cam Dale Siding also goes back to the great Sugar Bars, who sired speedy, well put together, athletic horses who are extremely versatile and could reproduce their type and versatility.
