      Welcome; I have created a separate website for Gary Tarver in Wyoming. Gary breeds world-calibre Hancock Horses that trace back to the best horses used when most cowboys didn't feel mounted unless they were on a Hancock; since those days, cattle in arenas have gotten smaller and a lot of cowhorses have evolved into smaller horses. But if you are looking for the big smooth-moving horses that can also cut, rein, and catch & work a cow, you are in the right place. Gary's horses are linebred Mr Roan Hancock, with Blue Valentine (through Salty Roan and Gooseberry), Texas Blue Bonnet and other select strains within the Hancock bloodline. Gary has used these horses himself ranching and roping all his life. The horses he has supplied to others over the decades have made great ranch & cow horses in arenas, rodeoing, and are prized in many other top breeding programs.

      The first thing you will notice when you visit Gary's herds is their uniformity, and consistent quality. There just isn't a bottom end in his horse herds, and you will find your selections will be based largely on personal preference for color etc. I don't know if there is another herd in the Hancock bloodline with this much line-breeding, consistency, look-alike babies, and uniform quality in nearly every horse. I am convinced that this is no accident, and is the result of years of using & riding the best horses & breeding those horses wisely & honestly. I consider myself to be very discriminating, and I find it VERY easy to market Gary's horses for him, because I believe in them.

(Note from Weblackey) For those of you who don't know me, Donna Grace, I do websites for HancockHorses.com clients. Gary Tarver in Wyoming is a great Hancock Horse breeder, who met me through HancockHorses.com, and asked me about helping him market his horses. Gary is a very honest, modest, old-school rancher & horseman, who values his privacy, and has no computer or internet access, and isn't interested in getting any. He is not interested in having a website (so I haven't attempted to be overly creative in Gary's website design, we are just using another version of my own site to save time). But I created this site for my own convenience ~ and hopefully yours too, since he has such great Hancock Horses hidden away down there. I visit Gary a few times a year, and will keep photographs of his sale horses available online here.
