Heritage Hancocks, registered American Quarter Horses.
Beautiful line bred Joe Hancock quarter horses with an emphasis on his grandson
Blue Valentine.
Cowy horses, that are smooth moving across the pasture, and quick on their
feet in the arena.
Blue Valentines have a long history of being topnotch working ranch and
competitive rope horses, as well as enjoying success in barrel racing and
working cowhorse, and have won literally hundreds of thousands of dollars
(more likely a million dollars or better) at amateur and PRCA rodeos, jackpots,
and in USTRC competition. More than one good Blue Valentine has been used
as a rodeo pickup horse: A demanding job that requires a courageous constitution,
and the ability to turn on to get a bronc rider out of a bad way, and turn
off, to stand quietly while waiting for the next rodeo competitor.
Blue Valentine bred horses have been finding their way into AQHA, FQHR and
NRHA arenas as more people discover their trainability and sensible, affectionate
temperaments, old fashioned quarter horse type with a modern competitive
edge. Our horses are superbly suited for ranch horse versatility and ranch
roping (Vaquero/Buckaroo style) competitions and clinics that are becoming
so popular. These are quarter horses bred to have a good work ethic.
Our horses trace to Joe Hancock through get such as Red Man, Texas Blue Bonnet,
Roan Hancock, Buck Hancock, Julie W, Seminole Sue, Little Joe The Wrangler
and Joan.

Valentine by Baru Forell Spiller, first published in the June 2004 Ranching

Other foundation bloodlines we value are Leo, Joe Reed II, Driftwood, Grey
Badger II, Gold King Bailey, and Oklahoma Star. We also appreciate the
contribution to the quarter horse breed that Three Bars has made when crossed
with some of the best of the original AQHA bloodlines.
