Driftwood, foaled in Texas in 1932, was a great performer, a match
race horse, a top all event rodeo horse, and maybe more importantly,
had the ability to sire foals that also were great performers, and
they, in turn, had the genetic strength to pass these traits down.
Driftwood blood is still highly sought after in today’s performance
horses. Driftwood died in 1960, and his best known, and perhaps best
son, Driftwood Ike was born in 1950. Ike was the result of the now
`very proven’ Driftwood X Joe Hancock cross, his dam being a grand
daughter of Joe Hancock. Driftwood Ike was a very successful rope
horse, and a sought after sire of rope horses. He was also versatile, as
they rode speed events and barrel races with him.
Driftwood Ike’s most prominent son was probably Orphan Drift, his
dam going back to the old running bloodlines of Joe Reed II and
Clabber. This was the proven cross of cowhorse blood on top of
running blood, and is still used today. Orphan Drift was another
successful rodeo roping event horse, and was used in several events.
Orphan Drift proved to be quite pre potent, and sired many horses
of great ability. MR Junewood, 192 AQHA open performance points
in three events(KESA Quarter Horses) is a result of the strong genetics
of Orphan Drift, and another proven Driftwood Ike son, Wayward Ike,
whose dam also had running blood in her background. Once again,
we have the cowhorse X running blood cross, and MR Junewood
carries it on both sides of his pedigree.
Driftwood Sensation is a linebred Driftwood stallion that infuses
differing lines of Joe Hancock and Driftwood into our breeding mix.
He adds Joe Hancock sons Roan Hancock and War Chief and the
Driftwood son Easy Keeper, and the Driftwood daughter Brown Beulah
to our blending of bloodlines. This adds bloodline concentration with
more genetic strength overall.
MR Fritz Wood is a son of MR Junewood that is having a successful
show career on the open AQHA circuit. As of July 2013 he has over
400 points in four events, all as a JR age horse. He is Driftwood Ike
on the top side plus the Driftwood daughter Judy Sue, and Partee
Doc, King Fritz, Captain Crusade, Leo and the Driftwood daughter,
Oakwood on the bottom . This gives Fritz the strong blend of several
top cowhorse bloodlines, plus he has mixed in the speed bloodlines
of Par Three, Captain Crusade and Leo. You have to remember that
the Joe Hancock and Driftwood horses were both match race horses
as well. Cowhorse blood plus speed, a proven combination.
