is the fourth in a series of documentaries on cowboys and horsemanship. The

production was filmed in northern Wyoming and much of Montana the past couple
years. Locally it is available at Miles City Saddlery. You will have to check
in your area or order through their

I think this is a pretty good film," says John. John is the author of the

Horse. John is the author of a couple thousand articles and eight books including
the award-winning novel The Breaking of Ezra Riley. Brett's artwork is displayed

of the cowboy cartoon "Earl."

readers! Please keep them coming, write us any time, we love to hear from
you!" ~ Michelle Thompson & Donna Grace Vickery. |

Winnemucca NV is the home of the Buckaroo Hall of
Fame
where festivities are held annually over Labor Day weekend.
Don't Call them Cowboys
by Walt Wentz
Where the Old West still lives -- in
the Great Basin areas of Oregon, Nevada and Idaho -- they call themselves
Buckaroos, not cowboys.
It's an important distinction in the Buckaroo Hall of Fame in Winnemucca,
Nevada. Here you will find no rhinestone rodeo cowboys, no Hollywood cowboys
in white hats, but real working cattlemen who lived, or still live, anywhere
within 200 miles of Winnemucca, Nevada.
The town itself is a holdover from the Wild West, the place where Butch Cassidy
and the Sundance Kid made their last big haul and got away clean -- and where
the more law-abiding cattlemen of the day came in to get supplies, to find
work, to take care of business and have a bit of pleasure.
Today, the big visitor's center on Main Street looks like a cross between
an Old West gambling hall and a sports arena, and the new and growing Buckaroo
Hall of Fame occupies pride of place on the ground floor. Here you will find
artwork, photos and memorabilia... saddles, guns, hand-woven lariats, brands
and other working gear used by Buckaroos.
It was Carl Hammond of Golconda, Nevada, who first got the idea for the Bucakaroo
Hall of Fame. His own father, Francis Hammond was a working Buckaroo. "He
was the reason I started it; he took me on the buckaroo wagons when I was
6 and 7, back in the early 60's when there were no fences and it was still
open range in Nevada," recalls Carl.
It is to preserve that vanishing history that the Buckaroo Hall of Fame was
finally incorporated in 1989. Three buckaroos were inducted into the Hall
of Fame that first year, and three or four more have been inducted every
year since then. The result is a low-keyed but unsparingly authentic glimpse
of what the life of a buckaroo was really like. |

or Hancock "influenced?" This article introduces new guidelines for membership

Heart ...
... or, Two Riders'
Opinions |
I talked to a friend just the other day
who's got lots of opinions and plenty to say.
We discussed what we both like to see in a horse
His requirements and mine were different of course
He likes a clean throatlatch and a long skinny neck,
and prefers that their hocks are set close to the deck.
Short backs and hard feet and clean slopin' shoulder,
and a gaskin that looks like it swallered a boulder.
He likes a short face and a big ol' soft eye,
and says these are the horses he's likely to buy.
And when he'd completed his lengthy discourse,
on all of the attributes of the quality horse... |
He asked my opinion; ... and ... where do I start?
I said that I
just want horses with heart.
I said I want heart above all the other.
I don't care if he's Smart Little Lena's full brother.
Or just how much money that his grandmother won,
or whether he's roan, palomino or dun.
But give me a horse with some grit and some try,
and some heart and some guts and that's one that I'll buy.
And I've found it's the same, with a woman or man
.
the good ones won't quit you, when the s*** hits the fan

"Welcome to Hancock Horses.com, and,
How to Use this Website..."
Michelle and
Donna Grace |

Hats off to our

"Here is the ad I
would like to have placed on your website. I found the site because of the
article in America's Horse magazine and was excited to do so. It is a great
resource for Hancock breeders." ~ Kate
"Thanks for all you and your partner do in making and keeping this website

Andy Reed, Coburn Creek Quarter Horses"
"...the only place I go to look for Hancocks... no need to waste time anywhere

"HancockHorses.com generates more hits to our site than any $1200 full page

"Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!! ~ Hi Gals, I just wanted to send you a special THANK
YOU for all the work you have done on the Hancock site. It is a privilege
as a breeder to be on such a wonderful site. Just a thought, have you gals
ever thought of putting all this info into a book? If you ever do, we want
first in line for it! Thank you both sooooo much," Bill & Cindy Smith
L & S Q.H's
actually
that idea has been brought up before, and after much discussion, we feel
that due to the nature & cost of printed material, a book would be outdated
too quickly to make it worth publishing.
"Oh just FYI
I sold a nice high dollar stud colt to a super fella in
Oregon who stumbled upon us through your site thus the push to advertise
with you more
a person just doesnt know whats working until
it comes to their attention so THANK you for your site!" LM
"Donna, I just purchased a 3 year old, Blue Valentine, Happy Hancock, Doc
Bar gelding, and then I read your story in the America's Horse Magazine...
I just want to thank you and Michelle for your hard work and dedication to
the Hancock bloodline, and to let you know, your work is appreciated... God
Bless you Both, Sincerely, Brad, Idaho"
"Now, here's the good news. I don't know when you put this [ad] up and modified
it, etc. But I had three emails already. Can you believe it?"
"Thanks for maintaining such a great website. I check it regularly and am
excited to see all of the new people listed every month." Jim Willingham
"I'd like to compliment you on your work on the Hancock Horses website. It

"Keep up the good work, people like you are really helping the Hancock breeding

Hancocks and SO WELL DONE! Hancock and Blue Valentine breeders everywhere

"The hancockhorses.com site has been good for a lot of people."
