Born 5-16-26. 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 colt is named Wolfman. In the 1986 film Top Gun, Wolfman is Lt. Henry “Wolfman” Ruth, a U.S. Navy radar intercept officer (RIO) and Topgun graduate who flies with Lt. Rick “Hollywood” Neven. He appears in several important scenes during the training and mission sequences and is the one who tells Charlotte “Charlie” Blackwood that Maverick has left Topgun after grieving Goose’s death.

‘Wolfman’ is a bay colt with large white snip and both rear pasterns with distal sponts. His dam, My Little Boon San, aka Boonie is one we raised out of My Kittys Melody JW who is a JK Jay Reed aka Pine Cone daughter. Melody is 91% NFQHA. Boonie’s sire is Boon San. We were the high bidder on a free breeding to Boon San through a benefit auction supporting the victims of the horrible 2017 Texas Panhandle, Oklahoma and Kansas wildfires. Boon San is now owned by Pitzer Ranch. We have 2 other of his granddaughters in our program as well. Boonie’s first foal, Top Gun Boon San, was a fantastic filly that sold to a repeat buyer. She had another fantastic bay filly in 2024, Top Gun Metzi JW that sold to TX.  Her 2025 bay stallion, Top Gun Slider JW, sold to a repeat buyer.

Wolfman’s sire Top Gun Whiskey is one of four Paddys Irish Whiskey sons that we own. This is his 8th 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.

Wolfman will have all the right moves and ‘cowiness’ to make an excellent performance, ranch, or rope horse. He will be a dynamo package with a good disposition.  We truly feel these Top Gun babies are show quality and have potential to be a reined cowhorse. Picking out the names this season was done intentionally for these foals to have a ‘show’ worthy name. Top Gun’s foals are robust with big shoulders which should physically help them circle a cow. We are hopeful that a few of his foals land in some show homes.

Will be priced at one month of age (US)

Foal is eligible for the Iowa Quarter Horse Association Ranch Horse Futurity.
