I use mules, I have been thinking about crossing a Driftwood/Hancock mare with a nice Standard Jack for a while. Just getting some input, thanks for your post.travshan wrote:Funny this subject comes up on a "hound website" but I have been raising Hancock/Driftwwod horses for a lot of years and I dont think you can go wrong with one rather it be in the arena or following a pack of hounds through rough country. I have a Blue Valentine stud and a bunch of Blue Valentine/Driftwood mares and I get nothing but positive feedback on all of the foals I have sold. This is not real good for my quarter horse business but in my opinion you can't beat a good mule for that everday hunting in rough terrain. The Hancocks are tough without a doubt!! There is also a lot of talk about the Hancocks being "broncy" but it is my opinion that all of that depends on what line of the Hancocks you are dealing with. Some of them are very laid back depending on what line you are dealing with.
Happy Hunting!!
