Born 5-14-26 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 stallion is named ACDC. AC/DC is an Australian rock band formed in Sydney in 1973. Their music has been variously described as hard rock, blues rock and heavy metal, although the band calls it simply "rock and roll". They are cited as a formative influence on the new wave of British heavy metal bands. The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003 and has sold over 200 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling artists of all time. Some of their most well-known songs are “Back in Black”, “Thunderstruck” and “You Shook Me All Night Long”.

‘ACDC’ is a bay/bay roan stallion with no white on him. If it does not become apparent we will test him for roan. We bought his mama, Miss Sweet Baron aka Jam as a wonderful addition to our program.  In the past we have had some nice older Two Eyed Jack/Pitzer bred mares that have niched really well with our Paddys Irish Whiskey stallions.  With those mares aging we spent the fall of 2016 researching and searching for replacement females that we felt would really step in and complement our program and this filly’s dam is totally bred to the hilt in Two Eyed Jack, Red Baron Bell and Pitzer bred lines.  We love the Blondys Dude on the bottom of her pedigree as well.  Jam’s sire is Two ID Sweet Jack who was born in 1994.  He himself was an AQHA World Show Qualifier four times and has shown in calf roping, heading and heeling.  He is an AQHA Performance Champion, has his ROM and has 330.5 points.  Sweet Jack is a son of two-time world champion Two ID Bartender making Miss Sweet Baron a granddaughter of both him and Mr Baron Red.  Her first foal, 2017 Sweet Watch Chic was on our ranch and had a great first foal but both have since been sold! Her 2019 foal, Rajah Reed JW, went with a repeat buyer to Texas. Her 2020 foal, Paddys Gin Dallas JW, was with a repeat buyer but since sold to a family who loves him. Her 2021 foal, Paddys Gin Moss JW, went with a repeat customer in NV. We kept her 2022 filly, Paddys Gin Surf JW. Her 2023 filly, Paddys Gin Ruby JW, went to join her full brother in Iowa. 2024 red roan colt, Paddys Gin Pluto JW, is with a repeat buyer in NE. Her 2025 bay roan stallion, Paddys Gin Bilbo JW went to repeat buyers too. This mare produces very well for us and her foals with Tex are a very consistent cross.

ACDC’s sire is TRR Paddys Texas Gin. This is Tex’s 18th foal crop. He puts very thick and muscular foals on the ground with very nice muscle expression on them as well as a lot of athleticism and as they develop, they have a lot of vigor. The oldest ones have been started under saddle by various buyers and we are hearing good things from all of them. 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—Tanquery Gin, Doc O’Lena, Docs Starlight, Poco Tivio, Peppy San Badger. His daughters, when bred to current barrel stallions are producing 1D and 2D barrel horses with other owners.

We would expect ACDC to have athletic ability with a nice disposition to perform in or out of the arena. We would expect him to mature out to 14.2-14.3 hands. Tex is his sire so he could be 50/50 HERDA Carrier so ACDC will be tested. 

Will be priced at one month of age (US)
