TRR Paddys Texas Gin aka "Tex" is a 2006 son of Paddys Irish Whiskey. We were looking for a stallion with a lot of cow and versatility and were immediately impressed with Paddys Irish Whiskey who stands at the 6666 Ranch in Texas. Paddys Irish Whiskey is a full brother to Grays Starlight and Gallo del Cielo all out of Docs Starlight and by Peppy San Badger. Wow! What can we say about Peppy San Badger “Little Peppy” revolutionizing the cutting horse industry that hasn’t already been said.

Paddys Irish Whiskey has NCHA earnings of $12,149 and was a multiple major aged event finalist. His offspring are in great demand with to date earnings of $1,262,188 in all areas of competition. They are not just cutting horses, but are excelling in reining, versatility ranch, reined cowhorse, roping, cowhorse as well as cutting. Paddys Irish Whiskey is a 2008 NRHA Leading Sire and an NRHA and NRCHA All-Time Leading Sire. He is also the sire of the 2009 & 2010 AQHA World Champion Versatility Ranch Horse and sire of the 2009 AQHA Select World Amateur Tie-Down Roping Champion. 

We purchased Tex from the Tongue River Ranch at Paducah, Texas. The Tongue River Ranch is one of the syndicate owners of Paddys Irish Whiskey. We cannot say enough good things about the Tongue River Ranch, their horse program and contribution to good ranch horses.

Since Paddys Irish Whiskey was bred and stood at the John Scott ranch in Montana, there are several of his sons in the Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota areas out of Doc O Dynamite daughters. We are excited for Tex to bring the Tanquery Gin bloodline to the northern plains through his dam’s pedigree. Tanquery Gin is an Equi-Stat All-Time Leading Cutting Sire of foals earning over $2.3 million and an Equi-Stat all-time leading cutting maternal grandsire. According to the 6666s website his daughters have produced foals earning more than $2.5 million and 5,336 AQHA points.

Tex was started under saddle as a two year old in 2008 before the breeding season and has been ranch ridden since then. He shows some cow, some grit and plenty of athletic flexibility and suppleness. Our intention is for him to earn his keep as a regular ranch horse.

Tex brings good bone, foot size and substance as well as his athleticism. He has good black feet and minimal white with only a partial white rear pastern and a very small star. Tex brings plenty of “cow”, moderate size, versatility and his flexibility athletics to our ranch, cutting and speed bred mares producing foals that can be athletes in any direction they go.

We will update with more pictures and accomplishments as Tex matures. We are excited to get his offspring out into the public to see what they can do. Thank you for your interest in this young stallion. We have several more candid photos that we are willing to email people interested in seeing more of him. There are also additional photos of him on our 'Work and Play' page.  You are welcome to come visit and look at him in person as well. His first foals were on the ground in 2009. Tex does not stand to the public.
