KT Gunners Sage Bug is out of Continental Lady Bug and is by KT Gunpowder N Lead.  CeeCee is a fancy black mare. She came from a good friend of ours who knew we needed another black mare. CeeCee is from the Froelich Ranch in North Dakota. She was purchased as a yearling and brought to WA. CeeCee sustained an injury and is only usable as a broodmare now, which is why we have her. Froelich’s base their breeding program on foundation quarter horses. So, CeeCee has a very foundation pedigree. She is out of Blue Stars Fire. Her bottom side also includes Charlies City Girl. Sarge is sired by our good stud Sage Bug that is a favorite of everyone that meets him. He combines a truly fantastic foundation pedigree with some modern performers without sacrificing bone, looks, size, and disposition. Sage Bug is just flat cool and produces foals that have that stamp. This is a colt that has big bone, tremendous power, but a super clean neck and head. This is the colt for someone who wants an absolute beast of a colt. He has a keen head and swift mind. We invite you to come take the tour and see his group.
