Most verbal accounts
make this horse 15.2 - 15.3. Dark Brown with a white blaze. Also, interestingly
enough, they also make him part Percheron.
Quoted from
Tom Hancock, grand-son of the breeder of Joe Hancock. {it was customary
to name the horses after the breeder or farm in those days} "Two of Grand-daddy's
neighbors were brothers, Ralph and Dave Wilson. Ralph owned a registered
little boned percheron that stood about 14.3 hands and weighed about 1,100
lbs. He was Ralph Wilsons personal saddle horse.
Grandaddy
Hancock bred five or six mares to the Percheron. Why did he do it? Well,
the reasons are known only to him, and he never told anyone else what
they were! Among the ones he bred to the Percheron was the Mundell mare.
The following year she produced a brown filly who would become the mamma
to Joe Hancock. No one ever called her other than the Hancock mare."
Joe Hancock was known
for his speed, beating everything that came into his path. Later he would
pass this on to his get.
