When you email photo ads, the picture should be attached as a .jpg to your email that has the text of the ad in the body.

THANK YOU for your interest and support in our services. Ad payments & webdesign allows us to maintain this website and the Hancock Horse Breeders Directory. Please email with any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns at any time. Your satisfaction is our most important goal. A note to stallion owners: Internet advertising levels the playing field for all stallion owners: Here, your horse is found by more people, and is judged on his own merits, not your pocketbook. Instead of spending thousands of dollars targeting limited audiences in a printed magazine that has a 30 day shelf life - consider online advertising. With the internet, mare owners are no longer as likely to look through stacks of old magazines or breed newspapers to find outdated ads. Mare owners want to see current information on your stallion now. They want to see breeding animals tastefully presented with current photographs & detailed information. Get the best advertising value: For the lowest price possible, we will present your stallion to the widest audience possible - an audience that is already looking for your Hancock bloodline stallion.

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

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up before, and after much discussion, we feel that due to the nature & cost of printed material, a book would be outdated too quickly to make it worth publishing.

General Honor System & Case by Case Approach. This website is a family style project, and we do everything here with a personal touch. Michelle & I (Donna Grace) are the sole owners of this website and I am the sole weblackey of this site. We answer to no one other than you, our members, when it comes to our policies and how we administer them. We have a strong sense of fair play solidly in place, and we promise to always try to give more to our members than we ask in return. In order to do that effectively, as resident weblackey, I reserve the right to administer our policies here on our website, on a case by case basis. In certain situations, I may handle one case differently from another case. If I did not reserve the right to do that, I might succumb to a situation where those taking unlimited advantage of our generous policies would force me to change and restrict our policies for all those of you who happily enjoy, honor & benefit from, their underlying intent. So. Michelle and I will continue to administer our policies as we see fit, and to accept, edit, and/or refuse any ads or submissions. This is our way of honoring & appreciating our fantastic membership, and still keeping HancockHorses.com enjoyable & rewarding for everybody involved. All questions, accusations, complaints, whining, kudos, and other commentary are cheerfully accepted by emailing me.
