Born 5-7-26. 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 REO as in REO Speedwagon. REO Speedwagon is a rock band formed in 1967 with a cultivated following in the 1970s and significant success in the 1980s.  The bands most popular songs are “Can’t Fight This Feeling” and “Keep On Loving You”.

‘REO’ is a bay/buckskin filly with a star and snip and appears to have no white on her legs. If it is not eventually evident, we will color test.  Her 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 2026, his offspring have earned more than $226K and include 3 AQHA Reserve World Champions. His progeny are proven versatile performers, with earnings across multiple disciplines: Reined Cow Horse: $108,588.91 Roping (All Divisions): $59,388.21 Ranch Events: $58,428.91 and Reining: $14.97 Unfortunately Lights passed way too soon, but his offspring continue 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. Her first foal was 2021 buckskin stallion by Whoop Up Whiskey, Whiskey Up Birch JW, who will be breeding and standing at stud for his owner this spring of 2026. Her 2023 foal, Whiskey Up Flint JW was also a nice buckskin stallion.

REO’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 13th 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.

REO should be a nice all-around prospect with a lot of style. She 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 her dam side of pedigree, REO could be a serious reined cowhorse as well.

“Don’t miss a chance to COWBOY UP with a WHISKEY UP foal!”
