Bucks Hancock Dude’s reputation as a sire and performer is as impressive as the dappled buckskin himself. Joining Reliance Ranches in 2022 from Namgis Quarter Horses, Dude is a key piece of the Reliance’s strategy to grow their performance breeding program by adding a solid cross on their race-bred mares.
The 2008 AQHA All Around Performance Stallion was shown in halter, tie-down roping and heeling, earning accolades in each discipline, during a four-year career. He was the 2007 AQHA Reserve World Champion in Junior Tie-Down Roping, earning a notable 553 AQHA points. He went on to win the NRHFA Futurity the very same year.
As a sire, Dude’s progeny continue to accumulate accolades including AQHA World Show appearances across several roping disciplines and in the barrel racing pen. Perhaps the most famous is Namgis D 33, “Chongo,” Emily Beisel’s NFR berth horse for the past eight years, earning an impressive $858,317 throughout his career.
Dude’s foals are known for their athleticism and winning dispositions and have earnings exceeding $1.5 million.
“He is a proven performer and producer. He is the original all-around rope horse who can go from tie-down to halter and excel at both,” said Lazy E Ranch Manager Monty McNair. “His progeny are highly decorated in the performance arena and will continue to dominate the competition regardless of discipline.”
