Zella’s dam, Fintry Missty Cat, is the tried and true cross of Fintry Tom Cat on a daughter of King Leo Bar AAA, AQHA Champion. Fintry Missty Cat is a full sister to Fintry Little Tom an ROM performance stallion and sire of Top Ten Gold Rush Champions 2002-2003 in reining, barrel racing and cattle penning, and Fintry Little Meow the dam of successful competitors in barrel racing and pole bending.

King Leo Bar sired earners of 2,405 AQHA points and 9 AQHA Champions. His daughters have produced earners of over $450,000.00 in the NCHA, 14 race ROMs & broke 7 track records.

Zella Hep is an AQHA Champion, ROM performance and halter producer.

The Fintry Tom Cat/King Leo Bar cross also produced the second dam of Sandy Ridge Stallion Station’s (Alberta) ~ Root Beer Boots, a multi open reining futurity winner as well as a 1D barrel winner and sire of winning barrel horses. Fintry Tom Cat and King Leo Bar have been the foundation of multiple performance horse breeding programs throughout Western Canada for decades.

Zella’s sire, Speedy Roan Man, double bred Driftwood, is an AQHA point earner in heading, heeling & tie-down roping with very limited showing. Quarter Hancock sired AQHA point earners in youth barrels and stakes racing. He also sired scores of good rope and ranch horses.

Fintry Zella Hancock’s oldest son, Buster Jiggs Hancock (aka Banjo) is working a 125 section grazing lease in Alberta and will be picking up at pro rodeos in 2014. No matter the terrain .. no matter the hours.. no matter how hard the work .. he is always the first to meet his partner at the gate… always ready to see what lies over the next hill.

Miss Dazzling Steel is a granddaughter of Steel Bars, one of Joe Hancock’s most beautiful and legendary grandsons, and a favourite of ours. Steel Bars AA acquired his ROM race and was the 1957 AQHA High Point Halter Stallion, he is the sire of: Superior Halter, Superior Performance, AQHA Champions, NCHA and NSBA money earners, Race money earners, ROM race and Stakes Winners. Steel Bars is on the AQHA Performance List #17 all-time leading broodmare sire of AQHA Champions (16). Also the sire of Aledo Bar, sire of World Champions, Superior Halter and Performance, NCHA earners.

Dazzling Steel is the sire and grandsire of many hard working ranch and rope horses and at least one winning College National Finals Rodeo head, heel & tie-down (finished 7th) horse. While doing research on what some of Dazzling Steel’s descendants had accomplished, I came across the mare, A Dazzlin Prize. Her show record is too long to list here, but includes 1st place Non Pro Two Rein Championship, 2013 NRHA Stakes with a rein work score of 142.5 and a cow work score of 151, 3rd Senior Working Cowhorse at the 2013 AQHA World Championship Show & she is the winner of the 2013 Magnificent Seven All-Around Stock Horse Championship. It is really a pleasure to see this old bloodline continue on in such a positive way in subsequent generations. Good horses come from good horses.

Star Duster is the sire of AQHA Champions, Superior Halter and Performance ROM, NCHA money earners.

We have retired Steel from production with the birth of her last filly by John Coffee Hayes in 2013.
