MERCERS VICKY sor. M, QUARTER HORSE, 1954
| Color: sor
P-57,216
Breeder: Wayne Rogler, Matfield Green, KS.
Mercers Vicky's dam was a granddaughter of the great Joe Hancock.
Tom Burnett of the 6666/Triangle Ranch was quoted as saying Joe was one of the most outstanding-looking horses he'd ever looked at. Joe Hancock could run and he transmitted his speed quite consistently to his offspring. His offspring were in strong demand as rope horses because of their strength, speed and action. Many ropers of today say that Joe Hancock was the greatest sire of rope horses. Old time ropers say that Hancock horses are big stout, tough
and with good bone. Because they are so durable Hancock horses could stand up to a lot of hauling. And ropers to this day still swear by these big hard-working horses.
No horse has produced more top-caliber ranch and rodeo horses than Joe Hancock. It is small wonder the real cowmen still rever his name and use his blood.
