Educational post about “Hancock Horses”

I’m going to talk about the messages I’ve gotten about people being concerned about buying a “Hancock” horse out of my Splash n Blue stud.

This is a misconception that I feel like people need to be educated about. We added Splash N Blue aka Possum to our program because of his very unique old foundation pedigree.

Now I personally love his outcrosses pedigree and was exited to add him to our mix herd of Blue Valentine and Foundation Cow bred mares. Because he has “some” Hancock I knew he would cross well on our Blue Valentine mares. And his “Mostly Foundation” pedigree would complement our mostly Foundation Cow bred mares so win win for us.

Here are some Facts.

The first picture is Possums Extended Pedigree. I had someone recently tell me he was a line bred Hancock.

The second picture is his blood line percentages of “line breeding/bloodline concentration”.

He has 3.32 % Joe Hancock Blood. This is not enough to make any of his offspring “Buck like a Hancock”

The top few horses are the higest “blood” concentration” of horses in his pedigree.

What I really like about the Blue Valentine and Hancock Horses is the sheer size and bone they add to any pedigree. The higher percentage breeding stock that we have personally owned have all been big and quiet minded. What I don’t love about them is the heads that some of them pass on. Crossing them on old cow bred foundation mares ads height and bone but the mares tend to pretty up the bigger heads that they can pass on. This has been our goal in outcrossing them.

The way you raise your foal and prepare it for its first rides will determine how they will react. Some foals will be more on the lazy/dull side. And some will be more “feely” and sensitive. I sure try my best to be overly honest with buyers on the foals personality and how they should be to start and what they need to be successful.

*** I am ALWAYS happy to discuss any questions or thoughts that any client or prospective client may have about any foal we are offering. ***

Our goal is always to match a buyer up with the foal that fits what they are looking for and not just the “color” they want.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk

****I will not answer questions in comments. ****

*****Pm for specifics. ****

We are continuing to downsize a few mares and are looking to add them to some other wonderful programs. All are checked in foal for 2024.

These mares are not culls. They are extremely nice and wonderful producers we are just faced with some extremely hard decisions this year.

I didn’t write this. But I feel every word. All of our babies and Horses are Family ❤️

Exactly words that come from my heart as a breeder when sending them out to their new homes!

Letter from a breeder…

Yesterday was a hard day. I loaded a horse onto a trailer. I kissed that horse's neck, just like the last million times, and told him to behave himself. Not that he was going someplace bad. I told him to behave because any decent horseman or woman will respect that quality and treat that horse well. I don't know if he will get that respect. But I know he will behave.

Yesterday, I touched a horse for the last time. He had only lived 28 days. I stayed with that baby during his very first 24 hours. I lifted him to his feet so that he could nurse. Every 20 minutes. His color changed from dark wet sleek to fluffy baby brown. And many days later, when he was much stronger on his spindly legs, in a big green field, another mare kicked him. So I kissed hi neck and told him to go run and play.

Yesterday, I watched a horse that we raised from afar in the Winner's Circle. I smiled as we became part of history. The world could see what that horse had done. And I had helped that horse for 2yrs..It was just one day, a few minutes really, but one of our best and I was proud. I couldn’t be there and said "good boy".

Yesterday, I walked into the barn. I'm always the first person there. It's early but I don't mind because twenty pairs of eyes look at me eagerly and nicker to me with breathy voices. I kiss a few muzzles but not everyone tolerates the nonsense of a late breakfast so I quickly get the grain. Their voices are music to my ears.

Yesterday I waited, my whole heart hurting as you layed there with bad colic….I begged you not leave me. When the vet finally showed, and said there nothing more could be done…immediately started grabbing needles and pulling blue liquid. I was his only helper and he instructed me through the din of my uncontrollable sobs. I held your head and told you that soon you wouldn't hurt anymore. I let go and then fell to my knees to lay across your neck.

There are pieces of my heart out there. And I don't know which goodbye is worse. When it's cold, I pray that you have enough hay to eat. I hope that someone cares enough to give you water and exercise and a pat on the neck. Are your feet trimmed? Did you get your spring shots? Does your leg bother you still? Do they rub liniment on it or ice it or is it completely healed? I still see you in the barn. I can still see you in a picture, but every day when I walk past your stall, there is another horse there.

I will give my best to that baby too.

There are pieces of my heart out there. And the best goodbyes come with the knowledge that my horse still has a job and a home with horsemen and women who respect him.

So you see…we raise horses….each one will leave and they take a piece of our heart. ♥️

Seriously guys…. Can this c**t get any cuter

Buckskin roan c**t. Should be 15.2 plus and thick! All His siblings have been extremely laid back and very easy going. If your looking for speed this is NOT the guy for you. He would make a great family horse, beer drinking ( 😜 ), camping, ranch horse or versatile pleasure type.
