Born 5-13-26 Some years we do a fun theme for names. This year for Top Gun Whiskey we are continuing with Top Gun Call Signs from the original 1986 movie and the 2022 movie. Our other stallions will have the names of Rock Bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s. This filly is named Blondie. Blondie is an American new wave band formed in 1974 They were a pioneer in the new wave genre and scene in the mid 1970s.  Blondie was known for their hit singles, including "Heart of Glass”, “Call Me” and “One Way or Another”.

‘Blondie’ is a palomino/palomino roan mare with a star, strip and snip. She also has both rear white ankles and both front white pasterns higher in the back. Her mama, Whiskey Up Aspen JW, 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 made some really nice big horses over the many years we 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 to 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. Her first foal 2024 Triton Bartender JW was buckskin roan stallion that sold to SD. Her 2025 bay roan colt, Fangorn Bartender JW sold to a family in ND.

Blondie’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. 

Blondie should size up on the larger side and have the ability to be a rope or ranch horse prospect. Since her sire is roan and roan can be hard to detect on a palomino horse, we will test for the 1 copy of roan.
