Sunday Filly Spotlight – KT Slidin In Sage

This buckskin roan filly is the kind that catches your eye fast — color, shape, pedigree, and presence all wrapped into one sharp package.

KT Slidin In Sage is another standout by KT Gunners Sage Bug (“Sagebug”), and we continue to really like what this cross is producing. She’s balanced, athletic, pretty-headed, and built with the kind of structure that should hold up for the long haul.

Sagebug traces back to some of our favorite ranch and foundation lines. He’s by KT Gunpowder N Lead (“Gunner”), a roan dunskin son of Cue Bars Laddie, an AQHA point-earning and producing stallion known for versatility and athleticism. Gunner’s dam, “Pistol,” has been shown with the NFQHA and was even featured in the NFQHA rule book and magazine — the kind of dependable ranch mare the whole family can ride.

On the bottom side of Sagebug’s pedigree is Continental Lady Bug, a big-boned daughter of Continental Cad with Mr Blackburn blood adding size, bone, and true foundation strength.

This filly’s dam, Bailey, is a barn favorite around here. She’s the kind waiting by the gate for attention every day, and she consistently passes along that same personable attitude to her foals. Bailey is feminine but strong-made, with the perfect blend of muscle, bone, and athleticism. Before becoming a broodmare, she was ranch ridden and used in the roping pen — and that real-world usability shows in her offspring.

Bailey is by Slide On Bartender, an AQHA point-earning and championship-producing son of the legendary Shining Spark and out of a Two ID Bartender daughter. The maternal side of Bailey’s pedigree brings in names like Jimeny Jumpup, Maverick Coke, Grey Badger II, and Waggoner — proven ranch and rope horse bloodlines that have stood the test of time.

This filly combines:
✔ Cow sense
✔ Reining influence
✔ Rope horse durability
✔ Foundation strength
✔ Ranch versatility

And she does it all while wrapped up in an eye-catching buckskin roan package.

Built to work. Bred to last. Pretty enough to get noticed anywhere she goes.
