2012 DG working cattle with friends on the high
desert
About me: I am Donna Grace; I descend from a gritty old
homesteader family. I raised 2 daughters that are the salt of the
earth, who I love with all my heart - they are my greatest acheivement.
I have been in agriculture all my life. I have been an AI tech since
I was a kid; and have raised registered cattle and horses off and
on my whole life. In my hayday I ranched over 6500 acres on the
Crow Indian Reservation, our family running a working guest cattle
ranch with grain & hay farming, commercial and registered beef
cattle herds, working stock dogs and a 100+ range horse breeding
operation. There we raised and trained our own ranch horses, which
included fancy roan Hancock Quarter Horses, and Curly ranch horses
that were hypoallergenic stockhorses (that traced mostly to origins of old
foundation Quarter Horse bloodlines).
I still own a few last best hypoallergenic stock horses; including Lynx Warrior Wind (below).

*Lynx Warrior Wind - ICHO-106D / ABC-465-1/2 ---- 15 hh ---- DOB: 05-05-1999
sire: Seekers Warrior, dam: AQHA Two Eyed Twister
My late, lovely, loyal registered
Border Collie, the
well balanced biddable capability to work stylish & soft enough
for sheep, but with the confidence, power & bite needed for
cattle, my former Basin Border Collies, OR, bred Ruby (pictured to the right), who I still miss so much.
2016: I finally found
the right stockdog to follow after her. This is another very special
soul that needs me, and I need her. She may not be as pretty as Ruby was,
but she possesses fierce herding desire, a non-stop can-do "tude" and is very odd and unusual. She lived in a fenced kennel the first
7 months of her life, until I ran across her. Winja is very weird,
loving, loyal, highly wired, needy, confident, happy, worried, crazy,
and a joy. She is of the old Hinton bloodline, the first BC cattledogs in Tennessee, not many left now. Oh, and if Deb
Taylor ever wants a pup out of Winja, she's owed one.

I used to have a substantial Curly Horse breeding program;
now several of us are working on a Warrior
Horse Preservation project

John Moore, Brett Badgett and Wally Badgett from
the DVD "Houlihan," released May 2008 by J&S Productions. "Houlihan"
is the fourth in a series of documentaries on cowboys and horsemanship.
The first three were "Tapadero," "Remuda" and "Hola Paniolo." "The
'Houlihan' production was filmed in northern Wyoming and much of Montana.
Locally it is available at Miles City Saddlery. You will have to check
in your area or order through their website
or by phone. I think this is a pretty good film," says John. John
is the author of the April article about HancockHorses.com in the
AQHA membership magazine, Americas Horse. John is the author of a
couple thousand articles and eight books including the award-winning
novel The Breaking of Ezra Riley. Brett's artwork is displayed in
fine galleries and his bronze, "Laying the Trip," is featured on the
grounds of the ProRodeo Hall of Fame. Wally, a former NFR bullrider,
is the creator of the cowboy cartoon "Earl."
"Thank you John, for such a super job with the outstanding
article in America's Horse about HancockHorses.com! And thanks for
all the emails & letters we have received from Americas Horse
and HancockHorses.com readers! Please keep them coming, write us any
time, we love to hear from you!" ~ Michelle Thompson & Donna
G Vickery.
2020 UPDATE: Michelle and Donna would sell the domain and the website content by private treaty. We are discerning as to who would take over though, as the main goal should not be self-promotion, but quality bloodline promotion & preservation. |
Here was
Valley Maye's last best riding ranch mare:

"Maddy" Blue Maddy Hancock, 2005 APHA blue roan tobiano mare.
Maddy came from the Jim West Ranches, Nevada (buckaroo country).
