All Hands On Zip is out of some of the best performance bred stock available. His outstanding sire, Zippo Jack Bar, is by the legendary Zippo Pine Bar; both of which are at the top of AQHA's Leading Performance Sire list.

His dam, All Hands On Deck, is a full sister to the now deceased Mr. Duplicate Hand, who won a national championship in halter and Superior Halter Horse. All Hands on Deck was not shown due to an injury that occurred as a youngster.
