Blackie was born in Kansas in 1926 and was later moved to California to become a rodeo cutting horse. After that, the horse was used by the U.S. Calvary in Yosemite Valley. In 1938, he was moved to Tiburon where he grazed and was fed carrots and apples by locals until passing away in 1966. This bronze sculpture was created as a tribute by Albert Guibara in 1995. The field in which it stands is now a park known as Blackie's Pasture. For more, see this website. [map]

This pair of Horses and Riders are located inside the Valley Relics Museum. They were originally installed in the late 1960s at the two entrances to the Porter Ranch Model Homes development near Chatsworth, CA. The statues went missing in the late 1980s and wound up near Palmdale, CA. After they were finally located and restored, they were loaned to the museum. The statues will eventually be moved back to the Porter Ranch neighborhood once a new city park is built. For more, see this website.
