The Story of Joe Hancock. March 30, 2012, America's Horse (from Quarter Horse Magazine) One of the greatest quarter-mile horses in all history had a typically American “rags to riches” career.


Our latest article: Bogie Black, the Untold Story, by Rickey Morales.


 Hancock Super Stars; a Directory of today's "Hot Hancocks!" A tribute to modern day Hancock horses who are carrying on the tradition of excellence in performance areas. Many Hancock horses of today are hard at work on ranches and feedlots, but, these featured horses demonstrate that Hancocks can hold their own with any QH performance bloodline. OH! By the WAY! Do any of you have photos of some of these Super Stars we could use? Some of these Super Star horses need pictures!

Lazy M Salty Blue
Lazy M Salty Blue of
Roans R Us, Alabama
piloted the Roan Zygosity test
with UC Davis in Feb 2009

See Homozygous Roan Hancock Horses in our homozygous roan stud directory.

Test your Hancock Horse at the
UC Davis Veterinary Genetics Laboratory

Genetic Roan Zygosity Test -
Quarter & Paint Horse Breeds Only. Roan is a white patterning coat color trait of intermixed white and colored hairs in the body while the head, lower legs, mane and tail remain colored. Roan horses are born with the pattern, though it may not be obvious until the foal coat is shed. The white and colored hairs are evenly mixed in horses that inherit the classic Roan gene, which can differentiate this from several mimic patterns called roaning. Roaning patterns tend to be uneven in the distribution of white hairs and the inheritance of roaning has not been defined.

The Roan gene is found in a variety of breeds such as Quarter Horse, Paints, Peruvian Paso, Paso Fino, Welsh Pony, Miniature and Belgian, but not in Thoroughbreds or Arabians.

Although it used to be thought that classic Roan is a homozygous lethal, evidence from the Quarter Horse breed indicates otherwise. Production records (I believe here they are largely referring to us Hancock Horse breeders...) have documented the existence of roan Quarter Horses that produce 100% roan foals.

DNA tests have confirmed homozygosity in the genomic region that contains the roan gene.

Roan is inherited as a dominant gene but the specific mutation has not yet been identified, so there is no direct test for the gene.

But VGL has identified DNA markers in Quarter Horses and Paints associated with Roan that can be used to determine if a horse has the roan gene and how many copies.

What Makes a Horse, "Hancock Bred?"
by Michelle Thompson.
Is your horse Hancock "bred" or Hancock "influenced?" This article introduces guidelines for membership qualification. In most cases, your Hancock breeding horse(s) should have a minimum of 10% Joe Hancock blood. See also, Membership page.

Beware of SCAM EMAIL

Sellers: UNFORTUNATELY, internet Scammers are always working online classifieds sites, and HancockHorses.com is no exception... so, be careful out there. For more info, or if you have received any suspicious emails in response to your classified ad posted on HancockHorses.com, see SCAM EMAILS on the classifieds page, and read about how to spot these scams & how to protect yourself. If you have any doubt, forward any suspicious email to me, and I will be glad to help you figure out if it's for real or not. I ignore scam email, or will forward good fraud emails (the ones that are hard to tell) to the server company or the company being phished, such as fraud@Paypal.com etc. That helps fight back.


Fight Against SPAM EMAIL

While we are warning about negative email, here are some additional email tips:

ONLINE PURCHASES -
NEVER, EVER buy anything from a Spam message. It only encourages more Spam.

E-MAIL REPLIES -
NEVER, EVER reply to a Spam message. Just DELETE IT... Resist the temptation to click the link that says "if you want to unsubscribe, click here." All that does is alert the Spammer that he has touched a valid e-mail address, and not only will he continue to Spam that account, he'll probably sell that address to other Spammers as well.

DON'T RETALIATE -
After receiving several unwanted messages, the natural inclination is to fire off a nasty e-mail. Resist the urge. It could backfire, resulting in more, not less Spam.

PROTECT E-MAIL ADDRESS -
If your address is posted in discussion groups, on websites, chat rooms, blogs, etc., the chances are that it will end up on one or more of these lists. Only post your address publicly when absolutely necessary.

SET UP MULTIPLE E-MAIL ACCOUNTS -
If you participate regularly in online activities where you post your e-mail address, then set up another e-mail account. Only give it to close friends and family.

OPT OUT -
Some websites require you to register to use their services. Before you do, review the site's privacy policy to see how it uses your personal information, like your e-mail address. If the site sends out commercial messages, you should be given a choice whether you want to receive e-mail from the site or from its third party partners. If you don't want to hear from them, be sure to check the NO box.

USE THE DELETE KEY -
The easiest action is to highlight the offending message and delete it, banishing it to the trash bin.

If everyone ignored Spam,
it would eventually go away!

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

by Monte Baker


A Hancock Compliment
... ya gotta see the humor in this!

He couId of said
you're sweet as pie
Or that you're prettier
than pasture posies.
He could have said
your company was precious
Or twice as nice as anything.

But no...
None of that would say it,
good enough to suit
And being shy,
he struggled w/ emotions,
seeking proper relevance--
and looking at his boots,
he found it, and spoke it
Before it slipped away,
or took a fright and hid again.

The finest compliment
that he could possibly imagine
He hoped she would realize
that even so
It still wasn't quite as much
As he would like to say.

"You are a woman
I'd be proud to ride beside," he said
"You remind me
of a really fine Hancock horse
The kind that
you can do anything astride
The kind that's full of try."

And she, shy too, swelled up w/ pride inside,
and couldn't speak
But knew exactly what he meant
as she went racing home to Mother
Comparing herself to the supple athleticism, the tenacity,
The incomparable intelligence of the
Finest cow horses this country's ever seen...

She couldn't believe it
when her Mom kinda hurt her
Listening to her breathless recitation
Of his wonderful Hancock comparison
And laughed and laughed and laughed.

"That's great! Hancock horses...
Perfect wives!"
Dear Mother laughed and cried,
"Hard headed buckers, tough to break,
Big in the hind end,
and mostly ugly in the head!"

by cowgirl poet Sue Wallis,
recited in Elko, NV, at a cowboy poetry event...
