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 5-13-24. 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 filly is named Galaxy. The galaxy is a system of stars, dust, gas, dark matter and other space objects held together by gravity.
‘Galaxy’ is a buckskin filly with a diamond star and no white. She also has two blue eyes. Her dam is My Kittys Belle JW who is 91% NFQHA. She is one of our proven saddle horses and we have been excited to get foals from her! Belle was shown by our daughter in Colt to Maturity 4-H classes as a yearling to 5 year old. Belle is a very kind mare and an energetic riding horse. She’s very quick, sure footed and a natural lead changer both in the arena and out in the hills. Whether you line her out to ride the pasture or put her in a circle in the arena, she stays where you put her until you are ready to stop and then ‘stop’ she does. She has spent most of her life behind cattle here at the ranch. We have a full sister to Belle, 2009 My Kittys Melody JW, who is also in our broodmare bunch and has produced REALLY nice foals for us. So nice we kept 3 out of her 4 for ourselves. Belle’s mother, My Little Kitty, was owned by Barbra Kennedy Johnson and was given to Ella. Belle’s sire was our late 96% NFQHA stallion, JK Jay Reed, who was a consistent producer. Belle’s 2020 filly, Top Gun Empire JW was an excellent example of a JK Jay Reed daughter bred back to one of our Paddys Irish Whiskey sons. We kept Empire and she is expecting her first own foal in 2024. Belle’s 2021 foal, My Bluestem Drift JW, is a full brother that we have kept for ourselves as a stallion prospect. He is currently in training. We have kept two of Belle’s foals for ourselves. That is how much we believe in this mare and her abilities on the ranch. One is a broodmare prospect and the other a stallion prospect. Her 2023 foal, Bedrock Drift JW, is sold.
Her sire is Walter O Rielly aka Radar. He became a great addition to our program, and this is his 12th foal crop for us. Due to some health issues, Radar was put down spring of 2024. We have kept back several of his fillies for breeding, but also have kept back fillies and geldings to use as our own personal saddle horses. Radar was a fantastic asset to our program. He brought older foundation lines to cross back with our Paddy's get. Radar threw BIG foals that could cover alot ground with amazing laid back dispositions. Most of his offspring have gone on to be ranch horses, with a few rope and barrel prospects too. We were looking for a foundation Driftwood bred stallion to hopefully get some replacement fillies out of some of our better mares. Radar was a 90.234% foundation bred perlino stallion went to King P-234 ten times, to Driftwood four times with strong doses of Joe Reed, Three Bars and a little Doc Bar. Radar was a 16 hand horse with a huge stride and a gentle personality. He had excellent bone, athleticism and conformation. His lineage tells us that his offspring will have cow and will be capable of performing at any level.
Galaxy is a very nice foundation bred foal. All of Radar’s foals have wonderful dispositions and are BIG horses that can cover some ground out in the open. She will be 91% NFQHA and eligible to register. We fully expect her to mature into a bigger horse with a kind disposition. We plan to keep her for now. Unfortunatley Galaxy suffered an accident and is now deceased.
