A little “Biankus Background”…
Biankus, an unusual name, pronounced by those who are closest to his roots as by-an'-cuss.
Biankus was a prolific sire of barrel and pole horses. Bred in Idaho, and then owned most of his life by Glen Fletcher of Dayton, Washington, his reputation developed in the Pacific Northwest and gradually spred throughout the nation as his offspring proved themselves in the arena.
Looking at the pedigree of this stallion you can recognize some of the names, but this is not a pedigree that would lead one to believe this horse would produce barrel horses. As it was with the great Doc Bar, occasionally an exceptional, even an outstanding producer comes along. Biankus was one of those horses. In the cutting or reining fields, when looking at a pedigree and you come to the name 'Doc Bar', there is no need to look any further back. And in the barrel horse field, when you come to the name 'Biankus', you have arrived at the origin of greatness.
The first public successes of Biankus offspring were in the National High School Rodeo arenas, as they were ridden by Glen Fletcher's grandaughters. They earned five (5) NHSRA Pole Bending titles, with numerous other placings in poles and barrels. Kelli (Fletcher) Currin recalls a pole run by Sam Bar Biankus at Moses Lake, where he recorded an amazing 19.1 second time. The unbelieving officials remeasured the course, which proved to be right on the 21' standard pattern.
Two (2) Biankus sons have made it to the NFR, and both are stallions: Captain Biankus, owned by Kelli Currin, made two trips with Kelli at the reins. Bogie Biankus, owned by Randi Rae Britt, was ridden at the NFR by Katie Garthwaite (McCoin). At the 2008 Northwest Finals for the BRN4D, with between 400 and 500 horses competing daily, Biankus bred horses won over $28,000! There were six (6) Biankus bred horses out of 20 in the championship round. Sons and daughters of Biankus continue to produce winners today. Owners testify to them being easy to start, and quick learners, with lots of 'try'. These horses 'hunt' a barrel and all seem to have a natural rate. It is almost unheard of that one would run past a barrel.
