Born 5-24-26 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 Kiss. Kiss, an American rock band, was one of the most influential and best-selling rock groups from the 1970s through the early 2000s, known in particular for its theatrical live performances, involving pyrotechnics and other shocking visual effects and including extravagant outfits and makeup. Kiss was formed in 1973. By 2023, as the band was nearing the conclusion of its final tour—known as the End of the Road World Tour—the group had released dozens of albums, with more than 100 million copies sold worldwide. Some of their most famous songs are “Heaven’s On Fire”  “Tears Are Falling” and “Rock & Roll All Nite”.

‘Kiss’ is a palomino/palomino roan stallion with a star and both rear pasterns are white and higher in the back. His dam, HQ Ima Fanchy Bee, is a beautiful 2015 palomino roan mare with just a star that we bought in 2016 from Hockenson Quarter Horses in Iowa.  We were specifically shopping for young replacement fillies with the Two Eyed Jack/Pitzer bloodlines to pair up with any of our Paddys Irish Whiskey sons as some of our older mares with those lines have already niched very well with our Paddys stallions.  The Jackie Bee on Fanchy’s topside is a new line to our program and we are excited to see how that plays out.  The rest of her pedigree with Two Eyed Jack, Mr Baron Red, Watch Joe Jack and Two Eyed Red Buck speaks for itself. An exciting thing for us is her bottom bottom goes back to Eternal Sun and Poco Pine and we have those lines in some of our other mares. Her 2019 foal, Whiskey Up Yao JW, went to SD . Her 2021 foal, Whiskey Up Orchid JW, stayed in ND. Her 2022 filly, Whiskey Up Kelp JW, went to be with a repeat buyer. Her 2023 foal, Whiskey Up Garnet JW is sold. We swapped Fanchy to Tex for 2024 and she had a palomino roan filly, Paddys Gin Sun JW, that is unfortunately deceased and due to a cold wet May snow event we also lost her 2025 foal.

His sire was TRR Paddys Texas Gin aka Tex. 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.

Kiss should be a nice all-around prospect with a lot of style. He will 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. His siblings have all started really well under saddle and are kind individuals. Tex is his sire so he could be 50/50 HERDA carrier so Kiss will be tested. 

Will be priced at one month of age (US)
