Hatch's Quarter Horses was established in 1982, tucked in the southeast corner of Nebraska, in the middle of Heartland America, with one little four stall barn and a postage stamp pasture. We started by breeding our Quarter Horse mare to Zippo Pine Bar, our daughters showed our horses and eventually we began offering Quarter Horses for sale, some for show, some for breeding, and some for riding.

Our Quarter Horse Stallion, Mr Big Zipper, was the 1987 All American Quarter Horse Congress Futurity Top Ten Two Year Old Western Pleasure, 5th Place in NSBA Stallion Owners Futurity, with NSBA Earnings over $10,000. He was the Winner Junior Western Pleasure at the San Antonio Stock Shows. "Z" has 24 AQHA Western Pleasure points, and is a Multiple ApHC World and National Champion Sire.
A son of the legendary Zippo Pine Bar, he was purchased as a 2 year old by Santa Barbara Ranch to be Jody Galyean's 2 year old Congress entry. Jody Galyean was quoted:
"He could be the pleasure horse sire of the future."
