NUGGET
Pleasing to the eye
Also his pedigree was amazing, I can't lie
But what made this stud was his shining kindness
His incredible willingness
To give all his power and all his heart
Yet he was sooo smart
To please the pro and the child
Never running wild
He performed and won many a show
Nugget sure had all his ducks in a row!
While at stud he loved his pony friend
Down he would bend
For snuggles
And for cuddles
From his beloved young lady
Nugget sure had all his ducks in a row!
While at stud he loved his pony friend
Down he would bend
For snuggles
And for cuddles
From his beloved young lady
At his retirement home - the place to be
Not long enough though
Before he had to cross that bridge over the rainbow.

RIP Nugget!
Nugget was gelded in May 2023 and was enjoying his retirement! He was such a gentle soul with such a big heart!
With this talented young lady he shared a very special bond!

Update May 2023:
Nugget was gelded in order to be able to enjoy his retirement. He is such a kind soul with a heart of gold and kids ride him now in Lisa Mayer's lesson program. His best friend is Andy The Pony but he literally lights up being in the barn and under saddle again. He is good with other horses in the arena and walks quietly beside a mare without any fuss just two weeks after surgery. He was a very well-behaved stallion and it's a pleasure to see him taking kids around and being so proud of himself to be of use again. Nugget is a golden boy!
Pedigree Information:
Enough Irish Whiskey is by Paddys Irish Whiskey (NRCHA All-Time Leading Sire with Offspring Earnings of 1’393’000) and out of Sugar Enough Smart (producer of NCHA $34’147 and NRHA $3’855). His full sister Paddys Sugar Smart has won NCHA $30’096 and was Open Derby Co-Reserve Champion! His full sister Whiskeys Smart Aleck has NCHA earnings of $4’051.55. His 3/4 brother Smart Whiskey Doc has earned 96 AQHA Points and a ROM in Cow Horse and Ranch Versatility. He was 2006 AQHA Ranch Horse Honor Roll Champion and 2006 Bayer Select World Champion Working Cowhorse and Reserve World Champion Versatility Ranch Horse. In 2008 & 2009 & 2011 Smart Whiskey Doc was the World Champion Versatility Ranch Horse!
His broodmare sire Smart Little Aleck competed at the NCHA Summer Spectacular in 1991. He has NCHA earnings of $5’930 and offspring earnings with only 22 foals $42’824. He does very well as grand-sire with earnings of almost $120’000! Below are a couple pictures of him competing at the NCHA Summer Spectacular in 1991. His grand dam, Sugar Enough, is a 3/4 sister to Freckles Playboy (Hall of Fame) & Colonel Freckles (Hall of Fame) and produced $13’392 NCHA.
There are many Paddys Irish Whisky sons in todays market place but it's the tremendous bottom side of Enough Irish Whiskey that makes him shine! Son O Sugar in the direct female line is also found in horses like Sweet Lil Pepto (4 Mio Dollar Sire), High Brow CD (4 Mio Dollar Sire), and Lil Catbaloo (LTE: $ 238’870).
Sugar Enough is a 3/4 sister to Colonel Freckles and Freckles Playboy (both AQHA Hall of Famers) who are found in the pedigrees of winners and producers like Wimpys Little Step (8 Mio Dollar Sire), Colonel Smoking Gun aka “Gunner” (5 Mio Dollar Sire), Bet Hesa Cat (LTE $ 267'465) and many more of today's top performers.
The bottom side of Enough Irish Whiskey quite simply produces winners - generation after generation! Combining the bottom side with the power of Paddys Irish Whiskey (full brother to Gallo Del Cielo and Grays Starlight) absolutely guarantees you some of the best blood in the industry!
