Top Gun's OMG

Top Gun's OMG was born Wed. May 16, 2007. He is by Easy Texas Cash out of Top Gun's Good Girl. He is beyond beautiful. I feel like God has given Top Gun back to me. He is black with 4 white stockings, a white star and a mostly white tail. Those are cat tracks on his legs. He has them on all 4 feet. Gigi has them too.

He has an an offset white star as if he moved his head at the moment God decided to paint his star on. I always appreciate a good horse, it does not matter to me what breed they are. Occasionally there will be one that causes a lump in my throat, sometimes I get tears in my eyes, but rarely do I get that "struck by lightening" feel. It happened once before, the first time I saw Sun's Top Gun, and it happened again when I laid eyes on this colt, named for his grandsire Sun's Top Gun, and his sire Easy Texas Cash.

Easy Texas Cash, in my opinion, is a horse with star quality, a horse I would be proud to own. He is by Hard Texas Cash, a WGC. ET, as he is known in the barn, has all the qualities I look for in a stallion, perfect conformation, gait and a people pleasing disposition. He is owned by Dennis and Sharon Jones of Diana, TX.

I chose Easy Texas Cash as the perfect stallion to breed my treasured mare, Top Gun's Good Girl. I believed her to be homozygous for the tobiano gene, even though I have never had her tested. She has "cat tracks" or "ink spots" which the old timers told me were indicative of the homozygous gene; therefore I felt safe in breeding her to a solid black walking horse stallion, feeling fairly certain I would get a black horse with some "chrome". I love this colt's markings.

OMG's sire is 15.2 and his dam is 16.2. I feel certain this colt will mature to somewhere in between. He is eligible for registry with the SSHBEA, NSSHA and RHBA. I am also checking into the new National Walking Horse Registry and hopefully will have him registered with them. It is my plan to show him at halter perhaps as a weanling but for sure as a yearling in the NWHA shows.

This colt will be called Top Gun's OMG. It makes me cry just to write that, if you haven't been there, please go to the page called "Gallery of Memories" and you will understand why. I did not think I could ever call another horse by that name but this one is so much like him that there is no other suitable name. He has the elegant long neck, set high on his withers, the powerful shoulder, the noble head with the alert bat-wing ears, strong straight front legs with long pasterns and a driving stride in his hind quarters.

 In all honesty, I have to admit that he got as many of these qualities from Easy Texas Cash as he did from his grandsire. One reason I love ET is that he looks like Sun's Top Gun but without the spots. He also has the great "back end" that Hard Cash horses are known for which Sun's Top Gun lacked. When breeding horses, you look for a complementing horse to breed to, but you also look at your mares faults and try to correct them. A knowledgeable long time horse breeder told me "Always breed up" never breed down or even sideways....meaning you always strive to improve the breed. So that is why I chose to breed my mare to ET. He had qualities that she lacked and I hoped for a colt with all the good....usually it ends up just being a hope and there is no perfect horse....but I am having trouble faulting this young colt, this new Top Texas Gun. I will have to let someone with more knowledge than myself look at him and tell me his faults....I am in love at this moment and as any one knows who has ever been in love, you just don't see faults at this stage.

I even told my husband Jerry that I could stop breeding horses now, that this horse that I had been breeding for has been born. Of course, I will keep on as long as God gives me the means and ability to do it, it is what I love....but I feel that with this colt, I have accomplished what I set out to do. As it says on the main page, I'm doing what I love to do, breeding these wonderful horses with the vision in my mind of my first gaited horse, Sun's Top Gun.
