                                                               or show him in ranch versatility or take sorting or penning. His
                                                               sire, HickoryDickoryDoc, is an NCHA money earner. His grandsire, Doc’s Hickory,
                                                               needs no introduction either. He is an AQHA High-Point cutting stallion himself
                                                               and his offspring have earnings of nearly $20 million in cutting, reining, and cow
                                                               horse events. Hickory has been a full-time employee on our ranch since he was
                                                               just a 3-year-old. He has an outstanding work ethic, a willing disposition and an
                                    eagerness to learn. He meets you at the gate ready to face the day. Although he’s kind and gentle, he also has a lot of heart and
                                    willingly puts in long hours when needed. Hickory has been used by our entire family in the Idaho mountains on a forest as-
                                    sociation where he has learned to be reliable and handle the rough terrain with ease. Down timber, bog bridges, boulders and
                                    creek crossings are normal elements in his everyday job. We have used him to doctor cattle outside, in the feedlot and at many
                                    brandings. The past couple years, he’s also been used on the head side at team roping jackpots and he LOVES his job. Hickory
                                    scores rock solid, runs hard, rates cattle extremely well and faces sharp. He will fi t a broad spectrum of ropers as he is easy to
                                    get along with yet athletic enough to perform at a high level. One of Hickory’s important attributes is he handles time off while
        remaining level-headed, quiet and capable of doing his job. We have given him several months at a time off and when we put him back in the work force, he returns to
        work like he never missed a day! Hickory is hobble broke, good to bathe, a gentleman to shoe, stands tied quiet, polite to haul and will load in any type of trailer. He is the
        special kind, and while it is an honor to offer one like this for sale, it is also TOUGH. We will miss him for sure! For further information please contact Dan or Becky.
