In Memory of Watch Tyree Two 1989-2014 Watch Tyree Two (Watch Joe Jack x Ima Tyree), through his offspring, will continue to influence Sunup's breeding program. Tyree produced consistently outstanding foals over the past three decades. Some were World Show Qualifiers, Minnesota Champions, and Regional Champions, but most of them have been good using horses, companions, and lifelong mounts for their owners. Tyree was among the finest stallions we ever purchased from the Pitzer Ranch, and it was thrilling to get this last Watch Joe Jack foal from the great mare Ima Tyree. He had what we looked for in a Quarter Horse sire. You could always see his characteristics in his foals -- they were chiseled and classy. Tyree had a lot of personality, and he was one of the smartest horses we have owned.  |

True Ranch. True Grit. True Horses. From a Sunup customer in South Dakota: “I just want to tell you how great Rillo is! I cannot get over how quiet and gentle he is. He took an instant liking to the kids at the birthday party …We have taken him out on about 6 rides and he just goes where you point him! If he is unsure of something he does not get rattled just gives it his best try! He reminds me of Rio when he was young, like a 15-year-old been there done that horse in a 3-year-old body! He is perfect for us here!” We currenlty have prospects with endless potential and enduring pedigrees. To take our latest Sunup video tour, click here.

 In 1952
George Paul was bought as a weanling, sight-unseen, from the Nicholson
Ranch in Oklahoma. He was bought on a dream. He was a son of Bert and
out of the mare N.R. Jacci X Star Deck X Oklahoma Star. N.R. Jacci's
dam was N.R. Queen X Bert. Bert was a son of Tommy Clegg.Little did we know how much George would mean to Sunup's breeding program. He truly put us in the business. He had great speed and agility, traits from his sire, plus he had a lot of type, with muscle expression, heart girth and symmetry. He sired horses with great versatility, conformation and kind dispositions. Today, most of our mares carry George Paul in their pedigrees. He sired multiple AQHA champions; multiple ROMs; multiple APHA champions; multiple Futurity winners; multiple Get of Sire wins; Halter & Perf. pt.-earners; NCHA COA and money-earners. In the January 2006 Quarter Horse Journal you'll find George Paul listed as the grand-sire of Beau Bonanza, the 15th All-time leading open halter point-earning stallion. |
