Due to unforeseen circumstances, we only had interns until the middle of June and are currently without any which we usually have through December of each year. Therefore, we have been delayed with getting our 34 foals on the website & Facebook. Please be patient with us.  We know many folks have been messaging and calling. We won’t have any additional help with halter breaking this fall and are pricing all colts and fillies for the same price of $2000 each with $2250 if they are colored with cream, gray or roan. We will honor the 10% discount for repeat and multiple buyers. We reserve the right to keep which we want for ourselves and to keep some at a higher price. Halter training will be basic and gentled but not to the same degree some of you may be used to.  They will be weaned and eating good for 2 weeks. Genetic testing will be sent in but will be listed as pending for those with no results yet.  Whoop Up Whiskey has a 50/50 chance as GBED carrier; TRR Paddys Texas Gin has a 50/50 chance as HERDA carrier; and handful of mares with have a 50/50 chance as either one or both of those two disorders.

Born 5-15-24. Some years we do a fun theme for names. This year we decided to go with a space theme.  Many of these names are a little loose in thoughts regarding if they are planets, stars, or things found in space.  This colt is named Triton. Triton is the largest moon of Neptune, but it orbits in opposite direction.

‘Triton’ is a buckskin roan stallion with star. His mama, Whiskey Up Aspen JW, is a first time mom. She did a great job. Aspen is another mare we raised from some of our original Grantier Quarter Horse Mujer Tacky Jay bloodlines. Aspen’s dam, Lily Dancer Drift JW aka DD previously sold, was a big stout palomino mare. She was by the original Mujer Tacky Jay daughter, Mujer Lily Dancer JW aka Lily who consistently produced us BIG and STOUT foals. Lily was 84% NFQHA and was purchased from Grantier Quarter Horses as a weanling. Mujer Tacky Jay, now deceased, made a name for himself producing using horses for the family, ranch, arena and youth. There are a lot of great horses in Lily’s pedigree from Jet Deck and Leo Tag just off her papers to other greats Three Bars, Poco Bueno and old time horses like Old Sorrel. Lily also fantastically went back to King 9 times! We really believe in these well established horse families and in Lily’s mare line as she was so closely bred to many of our great saddle horses. DD was by Walter O Rielly aka Radar. Radar has made some really nice big horses over the last several years we have owned him. We have kept several of his daughters back to cross with some of our more moderate sized stallions. DD was one of those crosses. We bred her with Whoop Up Whiskey and got Whiskey Up Aspen JW. This young mare has a long history in our program and we are very excited she is a part of the new generation to continue on some of the older bloodlines.

Triton’s sire is Jacks Our Bartender. Jacks Our Bartender is a son of Bartenders Memory by Two ID Bartender and out of a granddaughter of Two Eyed Jack, Watch Miss Jo Jackie, born in 2003. Unfortunately, due to a stifle injury from being kicked by a mare, Jack was not able to stay sound enough to enter the show ring but was able to prove his athletic ability.  Since then several of his colts have ended up in the roping arena and continue to prove their athleticism and great minds.  By 2015 Hockenson’s realized that he was producing some really great roping horses and decided to see if they could keep his stifle sound enough to show and sure enough in a very short time, he quickly earned 5.5 AQHA Heading Points of his own proving that his offspring accomplishments were not by chance. He is a great horse to be around and out produces himself every time. Jack has 3 AQHA performing offspring. Many of his other foals have gone on to be great rodeo horses or rope horses competing and earning money in different associations. We bought Jack with one idea to be to put him on our Paddys Irish Whiskey daughters and granddaughters.  He has the moves that they do but in a bigger horse package. 

Triton is the first foal from his dam, but Jack has made several other nice crosses on Paddys granddaughters. We have every expectation that Triton will not be any different. He should size up on the larger side and have the ability to be a rope or ranch horse prospect. This foal is NN by parentage.
