APACHEMAN HANCOCK “JOKER” – STOUT, VERSATILE RANCH & ROPE HORSE
If you’re looking for a powerhouse gelding with the experience, size, and mind to get the job done, meet APACHEMAN HANCOCK, better known as Joker. This gelding is the kind that’s getting harder to find—big-boned, built like a tank, but hits the ground soft. He’s been in our program for four years, proving himself time and time again as an honest, hardworking horse that can go all day and handle any job you throw his way.
RANCH & ROPE EXPERIENCE:
Joker has spent his life working in big country, earning his keep in Arizona and Nebraska before coming to us. He’s been used extensively for ranch work, dragging calves to the fire, pasture roping, doctoring cattle, and handling all aspects of daily ranch life. He’s been behind cattle in open country, knows how to watch a cow, hold a rope, and work a rope-savvy critter. He’s also had a few steers roped out of the box, showing promise in the arena for someone wanting to take him further in the roping pen.
GENTLE & SAFE:
Despite his strong build and presence, Joker is kind, safe, and level-headed. He’s been ridden on trails, handles traffic like a pro, and is quiet enough for someone needing a sure-footed mount in any terrain. Whether you need a dependable ranch partner or a steady trail mount, he’ll take care of you.
MANNERS & HANDLING:
• Stands like a statue for the farrier – wears a #2 shoe
• Patient at the mounting block – no fidgeting, no rushing off
• Easy to bathe and groom – loves attention and being messed with
• Rides off quietly after time off – no fresh antics, no nonsense
BUILD & MOVEMENT:
Joker is as stout as they come, with a big frame, solid bone, and all the substance you’d expect from a Hancock-bred gelding. But don’t let his size fool you – he travels smooth, carries himself well, and stays soft on the ground. He’s the kind that can handle a long day of work but won’t beat you up doing it.
SUITED FOR:
• Ranch work, doctoring, dragging, sorting
• Heading or breakaway prospect
• Trail riding & pleasure riding
• Ranch versatility & cowboy competitions
• Someone needing a safe, experienced, and capable gelding
Joker is sound, sane, and ready to go to work. He’s got the foundation, experience, and brain to be a lifelong partner for the right rider. If you need a dependable mount that won’t quit on you, don’t pass up this one.
