Born 9-4-25. Some years we do a fun theme for names. This year we have chosen movie themes for our different stallions. Top Gun Whiskey foals will be named after the Top Gun Call Signs from the original 1986 movie.  Next year we will do similar call signs from the 2022 movie. Our other stallions will have Lord Of The Rings and Hobbit themed names. This colt is named Smaug after the dragon Smaug in The Hobbit. He is a powerful dragon whose mountain and treasure he guards is the sole quest of the novel.

‘Smaug’ is a bay stallion with a star and both rear white pasterns. His dam, Chex Mix Mega aka Chex is a 91% NFQHA (F0039285) solid grullo mare. We are beyond pleased with her.  We bought her mama, Megas Lil Starlight in foal to Smart Charcoal Chex and really hit the jackpot with this sweet filly.  We had long admired Weninger Quarter Horses program and drooled over the foals by their stallion Indigo Mega.  So much of Meg’s pedigree speaks for itself and it has many favorites of ours and a few lines that are new to us. We have long wanted Hollywod Jac 86 and Mr Joe Glo; love the Joe Cody in a couple of our other mares; of course there is the Poco Bueno in there; Doc Quixote, Colonel Freckles and we cannot forget Grays Starlight. If you follow our program at all, you can see we are pretty high on Paddys Irish Whiskey and he is a full brother to Grays Starlight. And all this in a great grullo package as a bonus. You can study further on Indigo Mega by clicking his name. Her sire is Smart Charcoal Chex from the Ammon Ranch here in North Dakota and with their permission this is some of the information from their website.  He is nominated with the SDRCHA making Chex eligible for their stallion stakes show and money.  He has qualified for the NRCHA World show in Limited Open Bridle in 2011-2015 and also AQHA World Show qualified in Ranch Horse Pleasure.  He is out of a money earning and producing mare named Miss Reed Chex by Bueno Chex and has produced 6 performers. Chex’s first foal, Chex Cody Topsail JW, went with a repeat buyer in CA. Her 2023 foal, Carnelian Topsail JW, was absolutely outstanding and went to KS. Unfortunately her 2024 grullo foal, Jupiter Topsail JW is now deceased.

Smaug’s sire is Goldun Topsail aka “Topper” who is a 90% NFQHA (F0039287) dun stallion. This is his 5th foal crop. We acquired Topper as part of a package deal with his dam, Whizzin Lena. As a grandson of Topsail Whiz and a son of Jaz Poco Goldun Blue we could not be happier. His dam, Whizzin Lena aka Whiz is an older mare we purchased from Ryan Fleetwod at Fleetwood Farms. Bred at Bob Loomis Quarter Horses in Oklahoma, Whiz is a very well-bred reining mare.  Sired by Topsail Whiz, the 1st and only NRHA 12 million dollar sire, and out of a mare by Justa Doc Olena by Doc O Lena, this mare was third in the South Country Derby Non-Pro division in 2001 and won the Non-Pro Reining Futurity at the Canadian Supreme in Red Deer, Alberta. Whiz’s earnings include NRHA $3,754. She also has four performing foals. Her sire Topsail Whiz is in the Hall of Fame, a NRHA money earner, NRHA #1 all time leading sire, AQHA World Show Qualifier, AQHA Leading Sire and  ROM Performance. Topper’s sire is Jaz Poco Goldun Blue who is the most photographed or well-known grulla horse. He was 95% foundation and 27% Poco Bueno. With all the titles to his name, and to his progeny, there is no doubt that this is a horse who truly has it all - conformation, disposition, trainability, talent - all wrapped up in that great grulla color!“ as stated by previous owner Ryan Smith of Fleetwood Farms about Jaz Poco Goldun Blue. He was sold to Blue Valley Quarter Horses in NE and is now deceased. Blue was a NRHA money earner and earner of AQHA Open Performance Register Of Merritt. He had 22 pts in Junior & Senior Reining. He also competed in a few AQHA Working Cow Horse shows. His progeny has reported earnings of $10,724 as of 11/1/2024 in barrels, reining and reined cow horse. He also produced foals who have earned AQHA pts in a multitude of events from reining, cutting, VRH ranch riding, barrels, heading heeling and tie down roping, barrel racing, hunt seat equitation, hunter under saddle, pole bending, halter. This is a great testament to how versatile his offspring are.Topper started very well under saddle as a two year old. We were looking to add a higher foundation stallion to our herd since our other stallions were getting up in age. We are excited about Topper’s strong reining pedigree as well. He is bred to be a reining horse. His dam and sire are very proven in the reining world and he has several half siblings on both sides that are money earners in reining, reined cowhorse, cutting or barrels that are reported. We decided to not show Topper, but let him ride the "coat tails" of his dam, sire and siblings' achievements.

Smaug will be 91% NFQHA and eligible to register. Topper’s foals are quite the lookers and so far, are showing signs of being very trainable and agreeable. This guy should have athletic ability and especially if you are drawn to foundation bloodlines.

With his September birth date, he will not be available until mid to end of January 2026.
