Buck Hancock, John
Bowling Rex Keith aboard.
photo taken from QHJ Dec 1956
"This photo was incorrectly
titled. John Bowling was my father, and the man aboard Buck Hancock in this
photo was Rex Keith, the foreman of Triangle Ranch at that time. My father,
John Bowling, was one of the first guys to start buying horses from the Triangle
Ranch & the 6666's. I remember going with him when just a little girl,
on horse buying trips. As I remember it, The Triangle Ranch warned that some
of the Hancock horses were bad to buck, and some of the Grey Badger horses
were hard to break. The 6666 Ranch also had the Hollywood horses. They used
Buck Hancock on Hollywood and Badger mares. I remember Dad buying Easter
King from them. Also Dad sold Hollywood Jack as a weanling." ~ Dorothy Ott,
