Appendix QH - Hancock Venture

[Inyureye]

Is anyone able to look up an appendix QH pedigree? This horse came to us as an off the track QH who supposedly raced in Texas, and would have been born in the mid to late '60's - my friend bought him in the early to mid '70's. Ideally, I'd like to find out about his racing carreer, but his Pedigree would be great. He was about 15.1 and a beautiful black point red bay with no white, that I can recall. He was entire before being retired from racing, and I am also wondering if he sired any get, as there was that rumor from the purchaser.

Thanks,

Inyureye

There's a nice story about Hancock Venture, my friend was a horse-crazy 10 year old (we all were) and she came home from school one day to find a beauteous horse tied to a tree, and her father (who was a house construction contractor) was in the back yard, building him a barn. He lived in the family garage for a week before moving into his new barn. Her dad built the barn to be portable, and since they would build houses, live in them, then sell them and build another, they would bring in a huge crane and flat bed and move the barn to the new house whenever they moved. Forward thinking dad. Lucky girl!

I might have posted about asking for his pedigree, I didn't think I had posted it here, but I might have on the old board (sorry, don't remember) but I don't think I told the story before, but, umm, maybe! I have asked about him somewhere, but I thought it was on the TB pedigree board, to see if anyone knew about QH race horses, or on some board, but it pales in my memory. Just thought I would try! I don't know much about researching appendix QHorses. any clues for me, if no one knows, where to go..

Inureye -

Have put in pedigree of Hancock Venture - AQHA records must put in the 1901 date Rich found as a default for the older horses - No pedigree, get of sire or detail performance records on file - but performance and ownership summary show sire as Venture Junior #77611 and dam as Roan Lady #5834 - MGS Roan Hancock #456 - Race record summary - last race 11/8/64 - SI 65 Starts-6 No 1st 2nds-2 3rds-3 LTE $144.00

Sorry they didn't have anymore information on him - they also show him as a gelding.

Right, and I may not get that information, out of touch with my friend, but I will try. I think i can find her, these days. Raising five boys and all, she still has a large teaching barn she runs.

I never saw his papers, its possible that it was officially something like "Hancock Something Venture", but she always spoke of Hancock Venture, and she did have the papers (we called the horse "sonny").

Now are appendix QHs found in the AQHA? Or are they a separate listing. SOrry, don't know about QH registries. Thanks.

klasqh - I think that's him. The sire name sounds familiar, I do know I had conversations with my friend about his breeding at the time, we're going back to age 11 or 13, or so, here, and I'm now 47, but, like all true horse crazy girls, our horse's breeding was ONCE imbedding in our minds, and you are dredging it up. Interesing about the gelding, but, like I say, his entirety was only a rumor, and he came to us gelded, so that's fine. Very nice, thank you so very much.

Wow, that is so great. I am so pleased, I can't tell you. What gave you this information, if I may ask, for my records? Now I remember that MJ (my friend) gave me a lecture about the "Venture" part of his lineage, and I remember now the "Venture Junior" and especially the "Joint Venture" names so clearly I wonder that I had forgotton hearing them.

Noticed in the database that HV has one son, a Good Bros 64 horse, out of a Good Bros 5 mare. Do you think this is correct? Like I said, there was always that rumor that he had been bred.

RA, thank you for taking the time to do that. Is that Hancock Venture my boy in your list, then. Would that A number be his registration number, and what does the A signify?

The info I put in for the pedigree was from the AQHA site - if a member you get $10 worth of reports free per month, I don't like to spend more than that per month, but have in the past if it's important enough. And I hate to let it go to waste each month - if you don't use it, you lose it. That's why I watch this board and others near the end of each month to see if anyone needs something looked up. - I think they have raised the prices on some reports since the first of the year - used to be able to get 3 produce of dams @ $3 each - now they are $4 each - the perf. summary record has his sire, dam and mgs listed with their reg. #'s. That's where I got the race innformation. I also requested a horse ownership summary - on current horses it would show owner, breeder, etc. But since your horse is so old, there is not any information listed - I assume that is why the AQHA doesn't have any progeny information either. The ownership summary also shows the sire, dam and mgs. Wish I could get more info for you. I have a bunch of old sale catalogs - if I run across anything with his breeding in it, I'll let you know.
