Born 6-4-23 ‘Flint’ is a buckskin colt. Some years we do a fun theme for names. This year we decided to go with Geology and things that come from the ground.  Many of these names are a little loose in thoughts regarding if they are elements, minerals, rocks, gemstones or colors etc.  This stud colt is named Flint . Flint is a very fine-grained quartz, a silica mineral with minor impurities. Flint is gray to black and nearly opaque (translucent brown in thin splinters) because of included carbonaceous matter. 

Flint’s dam is HQ Lightupthebrazos. “Brazos” is a nice palomino mare out of the first foal crop from her sire, CD Cyna Dee, owned by Hockenson Quarter Horses in Iowa This stallion they called “Lights” made a name for himself in the cowhorse world in his short life. CD Cyna Dee was an AQHA point earner in 10 events including, working cowhorse, tie-down roping, heeling, heading, reining, ranch riding, cutting, performance halter, poles and barrels. He had an LTE of $26,569 in NRCHA, NRHA and ARHFA. He was a 22X AQHA World Show Qualifier and placed 12th in the 2017 AQHA World Finals in Junior Heading. He earned his AQHA Open Superior in 2017 as well.  He was also the 2017 SDRCHA Jr. Cowhorse of the year.  As of 2023 his offspring has won over $88K and he has produced 2 AQHA Reserve World Champions. Unfortunately Lights passed way too soon, but his offspring continues to make a name for him. Brazos’ dam, Sevens Brazos Lily, is by Wier Ranch’s AQHA Champion Two Eyed Brazos who is also a multi AQHA World Show Top 10 contender and has 184.5 pts in heading, heeling, barrels, poles & halter. She is out of Rondos Lucky Time, daughter of Hes Dun His Time, a NRCH Open Reserve Futurity Champion with LTE of $108,722.  Brazos had all the makings to head to the show pen, but we decided to breed her instead and get those genetics into our program. 

Flint’s sire is Whoop Up Whiskey . ‘Whoop’ is a 2010 son of Paddys Irish Whiskey and out of a great John Scott mare, My Little Sugar Babe. This is his 10th foal crop. 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.  A key difference between Whoop Up Whiskey and our other PIW sons is the dam pedigree. Whoop’s dam goes to Doc O Dynamite who also stood at the John Scott Ranch. Doc O Dynamite was an Equi-State leading cutting sire from 1999-2005 who produced money earners and according to his performance record, his daughters have produced many money earning foals in AQHA, NCHA, NRHA and NRCHA. Doc O Dynamite has a pedigree that traces back to Three Bars giving a bit more stretch and speed to his offspring and shows up on the pedigree of many arena and speed event horses. Whoop Up Whiskey aka Whoop brings that little more height and length and speed to our program as. He has excellent bone, athleticism and conformation. His lineage tells us that his offspring will have cow and will be capable of performing at any level. Whoop’s foals are breaking out really kind and level headed.

Flint should be a nice all-around prospect with a lot of style. He will be able to excel in the arena or on the ranch as well. We are seeing a lot of that style and grace in these Whoop babies.  With his dam side of pedigree, Flint could be a serious reined cowhorse as well.
