Ladybug is lots of fun to ride on the trails. She never gets excited and is completely traffic and dog broke. All you have to do is hang out and enjoy the ride
We believe that the broodmares are the cornerstone of any equine operation. Therefore, we are continually looking for exceptional mares that will add something special to our small group. We prefer to add mares to the broodmare band after they have been used to work on the ranch and/or show. We believe that this shows us what kind of ability they have and what they can contribute to future foals. Most of our mares are Doc Olena and Dry Doc bred, which we believe adds a little more cow sense in the mix. Some of them also have high concentrations of Blue Valentine, Joe Hancock, and Two Eyed Jack.

Ann on the Dixie National Wagon Train at barely 2 years old.
"Ann" is our first real show mare. We have started out going to open halter shows and have placed 1st or 2nd each time out. This is a very easy going mare that is willing to do whatever is asked of her and is a pleasure to ride. With her great Hancock disposition, she can even be trusted to ride around our 3-year-old son and 4-year-old niece. Ann is out of Sputniks Gray Lady (gray) and by Blue Dust Hancock (deceased blue roan). She stands 15.1 hands and weighs about 1000 pounds. She is registered with AQHA (4505283) and FQHR.
Ann will be pasture exposed to Candy King Hancock for a 2011 foal.
Rich Anns Blu Dust - 2004 blue roan mare
Free Ambrose
This gorgeous son of Roan Ambrose is the sire of Deja Dream. He is located on the Rocky Hills Ranch in Long Prairie, MN.
Getting ready to show!
Deja Dream - 2005 blue roan mare
"Dreamer" is a filly that we purchased in the spring of 2007. She seemed to be undernurished and small for her size, but we fell in love with her sweet personality. After getting her home, she has grown by leaps and bounds. She may always be a little stunted from earlier experiences, but we are looking forward she crosses with Ray. Dreamer is out of Deja Balou and by Free Ambrose (pictured left). She is registered with AQHA (4647697), and should also be eligible for FQHR.
Ann is pictured left at the 2008 Dixie National Wagon Train.
Take a look at the difference in color from her winter coat (left) and her summer coat (pictured right). That true blue color is gorgeous!
Dreamer is pictured (right) in her winter coat.
Dreamer will be pasture exposed to Candy King Hancock for 2011.
Rojo is out of Seven S Miss Prissy and by Crusaden Rojo. She is 15.6% Blue Valentine bred. Rojo has had 30 days of riding and shows lots of promise under saddle. She stands 15.2 and weighs 1100 pounds. She is registered with AQHA (4402904).
Rojo has a flashy black filly on the foal page by Candy King Hancock and will be pasture exposed back the same way for 2011.
DBR Lady Rojo - 2003 bay mare
Dreamer is pictured (left) in her summer coat. She has not turned out to be a very tall horse, but she is very thick. We were very pleased with her first foal by Ray in 2009 and have bred her back the same way for 2010! The resulting foal will be double bred Roan Ambrose and high percentage Blue Valentine.
Molly - 1997 brown quarter horse mare
Molly is our only grade mare at this time. She is by a Poco Bueno bred stallion and a grade quarter horse mare. She has produced wonderful ranch geldings and working mules in the past, and we feel that she should keep producing wonderful foals when crossed with Candy King Hancock. This is a very big and pretty mare that passes along her sweet disposition to all of her foals.
Molly has been pasture exposed to Candy King Hancock for 2010.
The resulting foal from this cross in 2009 was tremendous.
Bonnie has a nice bay filly on the foal page by Crusaden Raider and will be pasture exposed back to Candy King Hancock for 2011.
Lady Choctaw Bar - 2002 sorrel mare
This is a very sweet mare that we have used for ranch work and to ride the trails. She is an excellent mother and always raises a nice colt. She stands 15.1 hands and weighs about 1000 pounds. "Ladybug" is out of Bar S Spanish Ruby and by Sugar Bar Olena. She carries 12.5% Doc Olena breeding, as well as 11.33% Leo and 10.94% Three Bars. She is triple registered with AQHA (4259256), FQHR, and NFQHA.
Ladybug will be pasture exposed to Candy King Hancock for 2011.
Docovegas Bonnie - 2001 sorrel mare
This mare has been used extensively for ranch work. You name it and she has done it, from sorting and riding out pairs to roping and doctoring calves in the pasture. This is a gentle mare that can do it all. Bonnie is 15.625% Two Eyed Jack bred. She is out of Two Eyed KW Bonnie and by Docovegas Barney. AQHA (4135270) and FQHR registered. She stands 15.2 hands and weighs 1100 pounds.
Double Rey Straw - 1991 bay mare
This was a great find for the entire family. "Strawberry" is our newest purchase in a search to find something kid broke for beginner lessons, and as you can see, she fits the bill perfectly!
She has a tremendous amount of bone and is just put together really nice. She will be left open for now and just live the sweet life of a babysitter.
Strawberry is registered with AQHA (2998246). She is out of Reys Strap and by Double Te Straw.
Pictured with Kade. She is really building up his confidence in these early years of riding.
This is a great mare that can be turned out for long periods of time and then still rides like the day you turned her out. In the picture to the left, she is being ridden by a beginner rider on her first trail ride after being turned out as a broodmare for 2 years.
Sheza Real Jet - 2002 sorrel mare
Hancocks Red Checker - 2007 bay roan mare
Hancocksboldsunshine - 2008 bay roan mare
This mare should cross well with our stallions and add a little more speed to the babies. She is registered with AQHA (4280361). Jet is out of Go Lonesum Leo and by Easy Eric Two.
Jet will be pasture exposed to Candy King Hancock for a 2011 foal.
This big framed mare is out of Montana Sage Queen and by Rafters Two. She is registered with AQHA (4968868).
Checkers will be pasture exposed to Candy King Hancock for a 2011 foal.
This filly is a full sister to Hancocks Red Checker. She has the same great disposition, color, and large frame as her sister, and we think she will also be an excellent future broodmare and a great addition to our program.
