It takes a village to keep the farm operation rolling. Excellent nutrition is a huge part of healthy mammas and babies. Quality control starts at the field and though its hard work, im grateful to be able to make my own hay! Huge thank you to Tim for doing 400 plus bales and managing to not trip over the dog who was less than helpful 😂

When the dinner bell rings 😂 had to toss the phone down and shut the gate, the girls were coming in hot!

Great words from Parish Quarter Horses!

Let’s talk Hancock horses.

They have a reputation—don’t they?
“You either get a really good one… or a really, really bad one.”
“They buck.”
“They’re difficult.”
“They’re just too much.”

But I don’t agree.
Not even a little.

In fact, the Hancock bloodline is one of my all-time favourites. My own horse Trapper is out of Alberta Blue Valentines —and he’s Hancock through and through. And I love everything about him.

So where does the bad reputation come from?

👉 Hancock horses are highly motivated.
They give 110%—every time.
But that means they’ll give 110% to the good things…
and 110% to the mistakes, the confusion, or the stuck moments if they don’t get clear guidance or a proper release.

If you reward resistance—because you didn’t notice the tension, or didn’t wait for softness—they’ll take that as the answer and give it right back to you next time.
But if you release at the right moment, when they offer softness, curiosity, or effort… they’ll come back tomorrow and offer you more.

Ask for a soft shoulder yield and reward the try, and they’ll be spinning beautifully for you within days.
They are thinkers. Problem-solvers. Doers.

That’s why they get labeled as difficult.
Because if the timing, feel, and clarity aren’t there—they don’t just tolerate it. They react to it.
And that’s not a flaw. That’s feedback.

So when I hear someone say,
“You either get a good one or a bad one…”
I say:

“No—they either had a good handler, or a bad one.”

Hancock horses will absolutely show you what kind of horseman you are.
And that’s why I like them so much.

They’re not difficult.
They’re not dangerous.
They’re not bad.

They’re motivated.

And they need someone who can meet them with the same effort, clarity, and commitment they bring to every ride.

“it’s better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.” But that isn’t much comfort sometimes. I lost two very important lives last night despite having the best veterinary care. Losing my favorite broodmare, the one I was most looking forward to seeing her 2026 baby and the one who I built my program around. It’s unbelievable how quickly things can change. It wasn’t breeding related but just a harsh lesson that these animals we love will never outlive us and we rarely get a warning when their day comes. Shades of Roan is one less roan today 💔

Freya has the hardest job being a baby. Milk on tap, constant naps, play time whenever she likes and snacks between meals. I’m loving how this Dualin Blu Moon baby is growing 💙

There’s an entire team behind Shades of Roan that I don’t give enough credit too. One of those is converting from the beef show world a little at a time 🙃

We have confirmed heartbeats on two of the three mares so far this season! 💙
