Poole Training Center sits on one hundred and sixty beautiful acres of woods and fields, the same land that Blanchard played on as a young boy.
Blanchard has loved horses since his first thoughts. He loved watching Westerns on TV as a small child and still does. Blanchard did anything that would keep him around horses.
Blanchard has been training for the public since he was in Junior High School.
2022 will mark 60 years of training horses. Blanchard states that training horses requires courage, good steady hands and a good riding ability. As a trainer Blanchard as never stopped learning, he continues to study and learn and improve.
"Horse training is a very enjoyable career, but it is also very hard work. I love what I do."
In 1968 Blanchard and Debbie were married and combined their mutual love of horses!

He has also served several years on the board of directors of the South Carolina Horseman’s Council and was president for two years.
