Dear Donna and Michelle,
River Lightning Bug x Hum Bug Hancock was
the  2007
AQHA Steer Roping Horse of the Year (as voted by top PRCA
cowboys). I personally am still all encompassed with the “proven
performance ability” of Hancocks in the AQHA and PRCA arenas
and was so excited to see this award given to a Hancock bred
horse! Of course he’s closely bred to our stallion Hancock
Silver Tonka and then of course Hancock Silver Buddy is also
bred similar to these two! All sired by Hum Bug Hancock and
the second two are world show AQHA horses with huge records
etc. Anyway… In case you didn’t see the article (listing is
shown below) - just thought maybe you’d be interested in this
story line. It was all in the AQHA Americas Horse. Thank you!
