It was very rewarding to receive pictures of Linus Clark and Clay O’Brien
Cooper winning the 4
th
Annual Sweetest Loop Pro-Am Roping in 2009. Linus
is riding an 8-yr-old son of Blue Hancock Cowboy out of a Leo bred mare.
Linus trained this horse himself and Clay was impressed with the horse’s
consistency. He commented on the excellent handles knowing all he had
to do was come around the corner and do his job. Congratulations to both
Clay and Linus and their good horses.
Everyone has a choice...thank you for choosing us.
Blue Will Do, a full brother to
Roan Rudy. Danny Schicke
has won a lot of team roping
on this big blue horse.
Linda Van Pelt with
Roan Rudy, a top quality
working ranch horse.
We would like to thank all of our customers, friends,
family and our partners. The Come To The Source
sale is a challenging and rewarding production sale to
put together and we certainly could not do it without
the help and support of all of you. It takes a lot to
maintain a breeding program at this level and you are
the ones who make it worthwhile.
Clayton Van Aken and Dick won 2nd at the USTRC Regional Finals in
Loveland, Colorado. Dick is real proud of Jimmy who ropes in a ‘pencil’
bosal. Jimmy goes back to Plenty Coup and his dam is a maternal ½ sister
to Leo Hancock Hayes. Dick says sometimes we don’t give enough credit to
the mare.
Dick and his grandsons, Jackson and Carson.
This is Bay Roan Dividend,
who I have chosen to replace
Blues Roan Hancock
(Randy). He is by Blues
Roan Hancock and out of
a double bred Dividend
Coup mare. If my wife has
her way I will cut down the
number of my mares and
he will be a replacement for
Jimmy, my rope horse.
A lot of the reward for a quarter
horse breeder is when someone
takes your horse and has success
with it. The ultimate reward for
me is when a youngster like little Wylee Cheney takes one of
my horses and goes on to win. Pictured is Wylee on Kadee and
showing off the saddle she won. Kadee has become her #1 Flag
Event horse (after losing her older event horse last Fall)) and as
of print time for the catalogue, Wylee was at the National Finals
in Pueblo, Colorado with Kadee whose registered name is Misty
Red Velvet. I like to think my horses are versatile enough to do
just about anything and this horse and her little rider sure prove it.
This is the 2010 high seller, Blue Fire Hancock,
who went to Kerrie Lockhart of Alabama. She
won the first roping she ever took him to! Now
he is consistently winning at the high school
level in the team roping and the calf roping.
You too, can take one of Greg’s two year olds
or Clayton’s three year olds and make them
into winners for you.
