Location: LouLouVille, OK | Hancock is my fav bloodline actually... I have 3 out of 4 horses in my pasture that go back to Hancock. I have had had about 3 others and loved them all and all went on to do really well for their new owners.
None of mine have been buckers... Now mine will spook lol... but mine all LOVE to have jobs...
I take my time with them as young horses and drill it in there right, and you won't have to retrain um...
I had a mare (who had NOT 1 ounce of hancock) that was COLD BACKED if given 1 day off or 5, lol I learned with her, it was just her thing, I saddled her first and rode her last, that helped a bunch, and if it had been a couple days, I just ponied her for about 5 min and she rode right off. Are you saddling and just getting on? or giving him a little time with the saddle and the thinkin tree?

Location: Carpenter, WY | Rocky went to Blue Valentine 5 x http://www.allbreedpedigree.com/polecats+shadow
After Dan had broken his back and had a total hip replacement out of all the horses on this place this 3 yr old ranch broke gelding was the horse he chose to ride for his first time back in the saddle. Dan mounted from the back of a flat bed trailer and this gelding took great care of him. He never, ever offered to buck even after weeks of layoff and is the 3rd or 4th BV we've had. We ended up selling him to a ranch lady up north who had broken her back and wanted something safe to ride and Rocky is doing as welll for her as he did for us.

Location: Somewhere around here | I honestly don't know too much about Blue Valentine horses but Hancock I do. Definitely need a consistent job otherwise they will start pulling crap, bucking, or running off. Or at least that's what my husbands horse is like lol. Once they are going consistently though they will work until the day is done. |

Location: Texas | My son has 2 geldings that are Hancock bred. Full brothers. One is bay roan and the other a red roan and these boys are huge. They have never been ridden very much with any consistancy and spend most of there time being pasture ornaments but are easy to handle, come right to you in the pasture. My son has a target set up in the pasture and likes to shoot. These horses don't flinch and are afraid of nothing. Stace Smith has to furnish 25 saddle horses for the Cheyenne Rodeo to use for the introduction of officials at the beginning of each rodeo performance and these boys have gone the last two years. If you went to this year you may have seen the bay roan used to carry the American flag. As far as I know, he had never carried a flag before. |

| I owned one and have ridden a few. Maybe it was the cross but they have been heavy footed and I almost have to train them where to put their feet and how to use their body. The one I owned is just now good at 8 years old with his new owners. He bucked my a$$ off 5 times. I've ridden a lot of horses and only been bucked off a few one time each before him. I don't mind cold backed but I could be riding for an hour and bam. |

Location: where ever my L/Q trl is parked | Neighbor down the road here has a really nice grulla roan stud. He's 5 yr old and built like a brick house. She bred 2 of her mare and they both had fillies... one palomino and the other line back dun.... they have both now started shedding out- a grulla with black points and face and they other a gray/grulla line back.
Beautiful and very friendly from the first day on the ground.

Location: fun meter pegged OK | The 4 yr old filly in my avatar has Blue Valentine and plenty of Hancock breeding. Outside of the fact that she is highly impatient (has to be moving all the time) she has never once offered to buck. Very light and to smart for her own good. Cow horse through and through.

I just saw Rocky's dam was out of the same stud as my mare, hope thats a good sign for my mare. :) |

We have bred Blue Valentine horses for years Our senior sire has 22 crosses to Joe Hancock & is about 30% Blue Valentine. A lot of his foals have over 40 crosses to Joe Hancock. We have never had any problem with them bucking, most of them never even buck the first time you saddle them. Rafter the stallion has never bucked. You can go months without riding him saddle him up get on and ride off. He doesn't need warmed up. He is athletic and quick, he is very soft in the mouth, gives easy to pressure & is very level head nothing shakes him up. He has produced several performance & speed event horses. A few years ago one of his offspring was resv. Champion in the MO state timed events.
But I have know a lot of people who have had trouble with Lowry Star horses they are super horses, but you have to really be a rider to get them there.
Even though we breed Hancock horses there are lines of Hancock we stay away from Lowry Star is one of them.
Please don't think I'm knocking them I'm not, they can as I said make super horses
THIS ^^^
Lowry Star = prepare to be ground pounded and become a lawn dart more often than not :) At least in my experience with 'em. |

Location: Texas | Hancocks are hard headed and can be broncs but I have heard they are awesome if you can get past that part. I personally do not like Blue Valentines at all they all want to trip and fall down they are so unathletic. |
