This filly was a weather related death.
Her dam Del Rio Bartender JW is a mare we raised out of another mare we raised, Peponita Stareyed JW aka Bubbles. Bubbles is built stout and yet very feminine with a nice wide forehead. Her mother, Charjody, was a gorgeous 84% NFQHA double bred Two Eyed Jack with him still on the papers. Bubbles also went back to Babe Cody by Bill Cody. Her sire was Mr Salty Peponita,(100% FQHA), by Peponita. We always said if this filly (Bubbles) grows up to look like her mother, have disposition like the Two Eyed Jacks and perform like the Peponitas, she will be an awesome mare; and that has come true. Bubbles has been producing quality foals for us the last few years. Del Rio’s first foal, Top Gun Miranda JW, is still for sale.
Her sire, Top Gun Whiskey, is one of four Paddys Irish Whiskey sons that we own. This is his 7th foal crop. We decided to give Top Gun a shot at the show ring before breeding him. In 2016 he qualified for the AQHA World Show in Jr Reining, Jr Reining Level 2 and Jr Cowhorse Level 2; in 2017 he qualified for the AQHA World Show in Jr Cowhorse, Jr Cowhorse Level 2 and Open Heading Level 2 placing 6th. It has been an interesting ride as he continued to show during the 2018 year as well as breed some of our mares for 2019 foals. Top Gun qualified for the 2018 World NRCHA show, was 2018 North Central Regional NRCHA Champion and has earned 47 AQHA performance points in reining, working cow horse, heading, vrh cutting, vrh confirmation, vrh reining and heeling. He also has his AQHA Open Performance ROM. Top Gun was injured during 2019 breeding season that cut his showing career short, but he still qualified for NRCHA Celebration of Champions in LTD Open Bridle. He was North Central Region NRCHA 4th place LTD Open Bridle and North Central Region NRCHA 9th place Open Bridle. Check out his stallion page for the most up to date information as we will change it as it happens.
