RoaniePonie11 - 2014-02-19 2:46 PM Added her pedigree please tell what you think
your link didn't attach but here http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/peptos+red+hobby Ive never owned, but know some peppy san badgers could be waspy... Im not sayin they all are, as I have had friends with super gentle ones too... but I honestly like the pedigree on that pony myself :) if you have time and patience for a colt I would take the chance :)
Gotta agree about the Peppy San Badger horses, they to can have a ticket to buck. |

Location: Somewhere in the middle of nowhere | I always enjoy reading everyone's responses to hancock horses. I have one, this is my first hancock horse ever. I bought him as a yearling and took him to a trainer for 60 days...the guy did a great job with him. When I first went to look at this colt, there were other colts in the pen with him and they all wanted your attention, he was the guy at the back of the pen not wanting to come up. THIS is the best horse ever! He rides amazingly smooth, go all day and prefers to be working...so if you are planning on taking a trail ride you have better involve drills on that trail ride. He did buck once, as a 3 year old, like an NFR horse, I got a concussion but he was young and hasn't done it since and I still wouldn't trade him! |

Location: Kansas and loving it | I love my mare. A true blue roan. Never thought I would have one because of my job, but she is 15 yrs old, so I get a little breathing room. But she can go at a good clip for miles across fields. I am no tin cup to carry either. Leo Hancock dream is her sire. She is a Canadian bred. |

| First I want to say your mare has some great foundation lines. But this thread is a perfect example of how Hancock takes the blame for other lines. This mare has more Three Bars and King in her than true Hancock. Her Grandsire, JP Hancock Eighteen, is the only line that has any Hancock and 31.25% of that is Blue Valentine, which is known for a gentle, athletic, easy going horses. All in all though, she has an impressive pedigree in my eyes. Something I would purchase. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I wonder how many of these horses that folks say "need a job" or "need to be ridden daily" have PSSM and/or MH? |

A lot of the stallions & dams are now being tested & coming back N
The problem was Hancock horses were bred to with horses on ranches that need big country horses. They would travel miles a day in rough rough country & so they needed to have a lot of go.
People went out there bought them brought them home put them in a stall or a small lot feed them a lot of grain & good hay then wanted to ride them once a month on trail ride. It didn't work out very good for the rider or the horse. |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | I have read that Roan Hancock is a suspect. As well as Eddie Cinco and Eddie 60. There is also talk about Yellow Jacket especially via Wagoneers Rainy Day (sp). I'm not "blaming" Joe Hancock himself or all of his sone/daughters. Just wondering if this could be a contributing factor to how different they CAN be. Meaning some that pretty much MUST be ridden/worked daily to be a deceint horse, vs. ones that can be off for a long period of time and ride off like they were ridden every day. (Like the one we have. And he is out of a daughter of Bunny Bid. So it wouldn't surprise me a bit if he was prone to wanting to buck. But he isn't. Never has been, have had him since birth and he is now 13yo.) |

I wouldn't say they are "known" for these disorders. But SOME do have some horses that are suspected to be carriers in their pedigrees. (See post above.) |

Location: Washington. (The DRY side.) | Also, have you seen her papers to make sure she is HYPP N/N? (Formally Attired and Conclusive are both N/H. I don't know about the others from that line and am too cheap to look on AQHA. :) )
