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 4-27-24. 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 Magnetar. A magnetar is an exotic type of neutron star. What makes it exotic is its ultra-powerful magnetic field. The field is about 1,000 times stronger than a normal neutron star

‘Magnetar’ is a palomino/palomino roan colt with a star, strip, snip and we are unsure on the feet. His dam, Paddys Gin Llano JW aka Llano pronounced L-A-N-O is a mare we raised out of another Grantier Quarter Horse program mare Dry Biscuit Mujer JW aka Biscuit. Biscuit is multiple generations of Grantier’s breeding program.  On her damside, Kingsburys Buck was often referred to as Larry Grantier’s best mare at that time.  Maternal grandsire is Mujer Tacky Jay who sired too many ranch, family, 4-H, performance horses to count in his breeding career.  The Zans Banjoe lines are also cornerstone in their program.  Last but not least is her sire Dry Pages who as a 1995 stallion has also sired more than his share of excellent using horses. We are very proud to have this Dry Pages daughter in our program. She is still producing for us and her foals are quickly becoming some of the first ones to sell. Llano is by our original Paddy’s stallion, TRR Paddys Texas Gin. Tex puts very thick and muscular foals on the ground with very nice muscle expression on them as well as a lot of athleticism and as they develop, they have a lot of vigor. The oldest ones have been started under saddle by various buyers and we are hearing good things from all of them. The Paddys Irish Whiskey horses are making a name for themselves in everything from cutting to cowhorse events to roping horses and are very versatile—Tanquery Gin, Doc O’Lena, Docs Starlight, Poco Tivio, Peppy San Badger. This is Llano’s first foal and we are very excited to watch it grow!

Magnetar’s 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.

Magnetar is a very nice bred foal. All of Radar’s foals have wonderful dispositions and are BIG horses that can cover some ground out in the open. We would expect Magnetar to make an excellent ranch horse or possible rope horse prospect. We plan to keep him for now and will test him for the roan gene.  His mama was still with Radar when she foaled and had gone through her foal heat before he was euthanized.  That could be his last foal for 2025.
