Hailee's Joe Hancock!


Hailee is related to Foundation Horse and AQHA Hall of Famer, Joe Hancock. He is one of the all-time great sires of rope horses. And before his career was over, he was open to the world at any distance from the starting line to 3/8ths of a mile. In fact, he was so fast that people said that he brought tears to his riders' eyes. He was 1/4th Percheron which people think made him stout, tough, and with good bone. He's also the grandson of Peter McCue. Among his parents, he has two Quarter Horses, the Percheron, and a dash of Thoroughbred. He was a big eater, and was known more than once to eat all of his own bedding. He was inducted into the AQHA Hall of Fame in 1992. Babies by him are known for their good sense, strong conformation, and remarkable speed. You can read more about this remarkable Foundation Horse at the following links:
