recent news:

The loss of a good horse: We were saddened to learn of the loss of Frosty Drifter Ike. On the morning of May 11th, Robin and Leslie Morris of the Cross Spur Ranch found him standing quietly with his mares... "Sometime in the night, Ike had slid in the mud and broken the cannon bone in his front leg. Ike was not only a good horse, he rode well, was cowy, had a huge heart and was kind & gentle. He sired foals that were nice to look at and so easy to work with. There just will be no way to replace him as a horse. We are very honored to have owned Ike. We couldn't believe that we had been blessed with such a great horse."

"Thank you John, for such a super job with the outstanding article in America's Horse about HancockHorses.com! And thanks for all the emails & letters we have received from Americas Horse and HancockHorses.com readers! Please keep them coming, write us any time, we love to hear from you!"  ~ Michelle Thompson & Donna Grace Vickery.

"Just had to send you an email and a picture of one of my mares after reading the new 'Americas Horse' which just hit my mailbox today. Koys Sugar Bear is a great-great granddaughter of Joe Hancock. And I believe that she is the only descendant of Joe Hancock in Denmark. People here focus much on reining/cutting horses, and with around 865 American Quarter Horses in the country it´s pretty easy to keep track of the different horses. Anyways, Sugar´s sire Koys Copy has Triangle Boy on his pedigree, and I can see that he was the last foal sired by Joe Hancock. Interesting. Sugar has a wonderful temper, and she is a very good allrounder. I´ve started and placed in several Western Pleasure classes, got several All round championships, placed in trail, western horsemanship, and her previous owner trained teampenning, and cutting with her. You can put any kid in the saddle and she will carry that kid like a precious gift on her back. She is a very sweet and lovely horse. In this country the selection of good All Round stallions is very limited or rather non existing. Take care, and good luck with your website. I think that it´s a great idea. Some day Europe will come along too. Sincerely, Gitte Garcia, Denmark."

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

How to Use this Website..."

Michelle and     Donna Grace










Hats off to our readers: THANK YOU for your support !      



"HancockHorses.com generates more hits to our site than any $1200 full page magazine ad." Jennifer, Coyote Ridge Roans

"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 doesn’t know what’s 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 is absoulutely great, I have learned a great deal and really enjoyed the pictures of old horses and the historical articles." WA State Rep. Joel Kretz, R-Wauconda

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

"I would like to thank you for your website and the hits I am receiving because of it, and the info it provides."

"I get more (website traffic) coming from hancockhorses.com than any other"

"I am just enthralled with the site -- it is an all-encompassing site for Hancocks and SO WELL DONE! Hancock and Blue Valentine breeders everywhere owe you a lot for your hard work and dedication on their behalf. The newsletter and site is SO CLASSY!"

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

"WOW! What great information you have on there. This is become THE Hancock website -- choc full of information; I love all the stories about different get of JH (Joe Hancock)."
