We Are Pleased to Present Our Foals

We are extremely proud and excited of what we have to offer to the public. We do have waiting lists so please contact us on any pairings you are interested in. We are expecting 37 foals in 2025. We completed the 2024 season with 31 foals. 2012 to 2023 were great years with a lot of nice foals put on the ground. The foals have been selling quickly as weanlings and yearlings and we have kept back some awesome prospects for ourselves. We are very happy with how our breeding program has progressed. We have added the Iowa Quarter Horse Association (IQHA) Ranch Horse Futurity incentive. All foals, starting with those born in 2022, are eligible. Please talk to us more about this incentive.

At Woroniecki Ranch Quarter Horses we take an ethical response to any genetic diseases as they are identified. AQHA previously had a 5-panel test requirement for breeding stallions since 2015. Two more diseases have been identified and AQHA has now required a 6-panel test. A 7th disease has been identified and could soon be added to the panel. We, as well as many other breeders, have decided to test for that (EJSCA). We also know that there could be many more diseases yet to be discovered. We order our tests through the VGL laboratory of the School of Veterinary Medicine at the University of California, Davis and provide those results to AQHA and buyers. VGL is internationally recognized as a pioneer and expert in DNA-based animal testing. The effects of these equine diseases are wide-ranging, from mild and manageable to severe and terminal. We have compiled a short description of each disorder tested. In many instances we only test the necessary specific test based upon the parents’ test results. If both parents are N/N on all or some diseases, then the offspring is also N/N on those diseases by default. We have tested all breeding stallions and mares as new tests become available, and those results are disclosed as Genetic Test Results on all stallion, mare and foal pages. Buyers will also receive all this information when purchasing a horse from us.

TRR Paddys Texas Gin aka Tex is by Paddys Irish Whiskey and damsire of Tanquery Gin. We have had 89 foals since 2009 and are expecting 7 more in 2026. Tex is now 19 years old, as of 2025, and his foals continue to be everything we hoped for--athletic, nice dispositions, good looking and include some color dependent upon their mothers. Tex puts a lot of muscle expression on his foals. The first 2-3 year olds were started in 2012. Many of his early foals are now producing his grands and great-grands. All of his foals have been pretty mellow and very athletic and we continue to hear good things about them. Several are being roped off and have proven themselves in versatility and many show events in their local areas. He has several offspring that are making their way into the barrel racing world and are running in the 2D and expected to make pro level horses. Many daughters when bred to the current barrel sires are producing those 1D horses as well. Tex has had a great run and we look forward to him having a nice long future as a sire on our ranch. Please check out Tex's page for more information on him and which mares he's bred to. We retained one of his daughters, 2011 Paddys Gin Fanta JW, who received her Certificate of Ability in reined cowhorse and she is also a money earner. We brought Fanta home and have ranched on her for many years. We also currently have four of his daughters in our broodmare program with two of them getting exposed for the first time in 2025. His babies just fly out the door and we have to intentionally keep them. We are finally keeping a 2025 colt to geld and turn into a good using ranch gelding for ourselves.

Whoop Up Whiskey is our second son of Paddys Irish Whiskey with a different bottom side to include Doc O Dynamite and Sugar Bars. His first 67 foals (2014 through 2025) are more than meeting our expectations. His foals are very stylish, eye-catching and elegant foals that display extreme agility and trainability. We have been very pleased during halter breaking and we continue to hear excellent things about them as they get started under saddle and head on to their world jobs. They are usually born as friendly horses wanting to engage with people. Whoop is an established 15 year old stallion as of 2025 and we seriously could not ranch without his offspring. We have personally kept two daughters and one gelding of his, Whiskey Up Chinks JW, Whiskey Up Poland JW and Whiskey Up Posie JW for us to ranch on and they are really our go-to horses. We have retained two of his other daughters for our broodmare band. We had a full brother to Whoop named Hiline Whiskey aka Oak, who unfortunately broke a leg in 2018 and is no longer with us. We retained a daughter of Oak's, Paddys Oak Arrow JW, as well as a ranch horse.

Top Gun Whiskey is our third Paddys Irish Whiskey stallion with yet a third different bottom side being a grandson of Playgun and a bottom bottom to include Docs Oak and Bueno Chex. He has shown in AQHA and NRCHA and is a NRCHA money earner. His first foals were born in 2019. He has had a total of 29 foals (2019-2025) and we have retained two mares for ourselves and they have entered the broodmare band producing foals of their own. Top Gun is 13 years old as of 2025. His foals are all born with the 'look' to put a cow in their place on fence work.

Jacks Our Bartender is a 2003 stallion that was purchased in 2017 from Hockenson Quarter Horses at Nichols, Iowa. Jack brings us a Pitzer bred, Two ID Bartender, Two Eyed Jack combo pedigree and his moves mirror our Paddys Irish Whiskey sons except that Jack is a larger horse. We are giving our Paddys daughters and granddaughters to Jack as well as other good mares. In 2025 he has the four Tex daughters, two Whoop daughters and one Top Gun daughter. He has several proven riding and performing offspring out in the world prior to our purchase of him. His first foals for us were born in 2018. We also have four of his daughters in our broodmare band and a younger 2023 prospect in hopes to join them in time. We have also kept back a 2024 stallion as a potential replacement for Jack when the time comes.

Goldun Topsail aka Topper is a 2018 90% NFQHA dun stallion. We acquired him as part of the package when we bought his dam, Whizzin Lena. His sire is Jaz Poco Goldun, the most photographed or well-known grulla horse. Blue was 95% foundation and 27% Poco Bueno. Topper was started under saddle in 2020 and showed a lot of promise and we certainly could have continued his riding career. His first foal crop came for us in 2021. He has had 19 foals for us (2021-2025). We are extremely pleased with how his foals are built and their dispositions so far. We are excited to hear more as they mature and are started under saddle. His future with us is very strong and he is a wonderful asset.

My Bluestem Drift JW aka Bluestem is our newest and youngest stallion to our program. We raised Bluestem out of one of our top mares x Radar. He is 91% NFQHA and eligible to register. Bluestem is a smoky black which means he carries a copy of the cream gene which he will pass on 50% of the time. He was sent to training as a 2 year old, started under saddle, became quite well broke, did some ranching and was well into his roping training by spring of 2024 when his sire passed at the age of 24. It was time to bring him home to fulfill his place in our program. Bluestem is deeply rooted in our program with JK Jay Reed, Walter O Rielly, My Kittys Belle and My Little Kitty. 2025 is Bluestem’s very first foal crop and we are very impressed with the quality of foals he had!

JK Jay Reed aka Pine Cone was our senior stallion, at the time, that he passed away winter 2019. Pine Cone was 96% Foundation with a solid pedigree and was a super nice stallion to handle. His foals were and are athletes with good feet, awesome dispositions and they really have a lot of 'cow'. Nobody was ever disappointed with a Pine Cone baby. The last 3 foals available from him were born in 2020. His legacy will continue on with his daughters we have kept for our program. They are excellent mamas producing foals for us and crossing well on any of the other stallions that we have.

Walter O Rielly aka Radar was another senior stallion of ours that passed away spring 2024 at the age of 24. He was a perlino stallion we purchased in 2012. For those of you who don't know, Walter O'Rielly is the name of the character, nicknamed 'Radar', on the hit TV show, M*A*S*H. Our Radar is a grandson of Ciderwood, great-grandson of Orphan Drift and Docs Jack Frost with a great shot of Poco Bueno thrown in there through Poco Speedy and Poco King Tuck. We selectively bred some of our best mares to him starting with 2013 foals and we continued to add several replacement fillies to our program over the years. His stud colts have made top geldings with his last son born in 2024 and now heading to a ranching future as a gelding. It is such a shame that this grand stallion did not live longer as so many people have loved the Radar babies. Whoop and Radar offspring are the ones we ride the most on our ranch. Looking forward to more from our other stallions as well. His go-to ranch horses so far are his 2014 daughter, San Ella Drift JW, and 2017 daughter, Sarafina Drift JW. Radar has several proven riding offspring out in the world. We have also kept 5 of his daughters in our broodmare bunch with younger breeding and riding prospects coming up. We retained his son, Bluestem, as a stallion and Radar will leave a profound influence in our program through the offspring of Bluestem and his sisters.

We retained three of our 2008 foals by Mr Salty Peponita as replacement broodmares. To date Mr Salty Peponita has had 10 performers. Please check out his page for more information. Those mares have all been ridden on the ranch. Peponita Stareyed JW became a main go-to horse for us for many years, retired from ranching to become a mama and has now retired from breeding to go back to toting our grandkids around. She produced outstanding babies no matter what stallion she was crossed with and we have intentions of keeping her 2025 colt by Tex as a riding prospect for us. Peponita Roan Bar JW aka Strawberry had her first foal in 2014 and continues to be an awesome producer. Her mare line runs through our program and we have many half sisters and daughters and granddaughters of Strawberry. Peponita Laceyed JW was used on the ranch as well as in our broodmare bunch. We have kept a daughter and granddaughter from her and later sold her to another home.

Our mare pages will show you ranch, cow, speed and versatility. We have several mares that are higher percentage foundation as well as speed bred mares. The Mr Salty Peponita (100%), JK Jay Reed (96%), Walter O Rielly (91%), Goldun Topsail (90%) and My Bluestem Drift JW (91%) babies will give you a higher percentage foundation foal package with the versatility to cut, rein, ranch, ride, trail, pleasure, take care of the family, run and breed when they’re done. Even the speed bred colts have a strong shot of foundation bloodlines. We continue to research the percentage foundation in our mares. The Paddys Irish Whiskey sons and Jacks Our Bartender stallions should add modern performance and athleticism to our foals.

We foal mostly mid-April to mid-May with a few carrying over into June. We feel that this foaling timeline gives us better weather, more time and facilities to handle the mares without the cows interfering as much. The mares milk better on green grass and often our June foals size up right along with the April ones. Don’t overlook the younger foals. In three years that age gap won’t make a difference in how well they ride and perform. If age is a concern for you, give us a call and we can discuss weaning, our feeding/nutritional program, and foal development options with you. There is more information about our feed business, feeding program, and our pelleted Woroniecki Ranch All Around feed on the Our Program page.

All the foals will have been gently handled, dewormed twice and will be used to eating a balanced protein/fiber/mineral/vitamin ration alongside their mothers before weaning. We will provide one 50 pound bag of our pelleted Woroniecki Ranch All Around feed that they are used to eating and additional bags will be available for purchase. The foals may or may not be halter broke for in state travel. For out of state travel, unless otherwise specified, they will lead and load, but will not be recommended to stand tied or travel with ropes or halters on them in the trailer. If you are not already an AQHA member, you may get your own membership or we will assess you an additional $65 one year membership fee in order to do the transfer for your new purchase. The papers will come to the new owner directly from AQHA. We do require a purchase agreement and we will email you an example purchase agreement upon request.
