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.
   
THE
BREAKING OF EZRA RILEY, the first
novel by Montana author John L. Moore
is a coming-of-age story set in eastern Montana circa 1934-1984. Drawing
rave reviews from across the country when published in print, THE BREAKING
OF EZRA RILEY was a runner-up for a Golden Spur Award from the Western
Writers of America and won the Critic's Choice Award for Fiction from
Christianity Today. It was endorsed by such leading writers as Thomas
Savage, Eugenia Price and Larry Woiwode. It is available as a
download
from Amazon.
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...

John Moore, Miles City MT remarks:
"How interesting it was to see that this
horse was out of a daughter of Oswald!"
I responded, "Those are sure good horses aren't they?"
John said, "Well, they are FAST and they can run and run and run."
