Happy Mother’s Day

Today we celebrate the moms who keep everything running — the early mornings, the late nights, and all the in-between moments that don’t always get seen.

From feeding calves and checking mares… to hauling kids to shows, fixing fence, and somehow still making sure everyone’s taken care of — moms are the backbone of it all.

We’re especially thankful for the moms in our crew who wear a hundred different hats and do it all with grit, grace, and a whole lot of heart.

To the ones raising good kids, good horses, and holding families together — today is for you.

🔥 Howie – Reining Power × Cowhorse Grit 🔥

Howie is the kind that checks all the boxes — looks, pedigree, and presence. He’s a sharp-made colt with the build and ability to go straight to the performance pen.

His sire, “Tank” (KT HotTimein Cowtown), brings serious horsepower — by KR Gun Powder (2016 APHA Senior Reining World Champion; NRHA earnings) and out of KT Cow Cuttin Hottie, a daughter of Cow Cuttin Colonel (NRCHA Superior Cow Horse, multiple champions). This side delivers stop, athleticism, and cow sense.

On the dam side, Howie is out of Educated Downdirty, a daughter of An Educated Guess — the highest point-earning son of Smart Chic Olena, with 385 AQHA reining points and $20K+ LTE.

His granddam, Plain Dark Chocolate (“Rudy”), ties in Just Plain Colonel ($52K+ earner, NRCHA leading sire) along with Par Three and Doc N Willy — proven, time-tested performance blood.

đź’Ą What this means for you:
âś” Elite reining + cowhorse cross
âś” Quick-footed, athletic build
âś” Bred to stop, turn, and handle pressure
âś” Versatility to go reining, cowhorse, or ranch events

Finally Friday

If you’re waiting for things to slow down… this probably isn’t your kind of life

We wrapped up a great week at the Spokane Jr Show and now we’re rolling right into another one — headed to Ellensburg for the Jr Angus show this weekend. We’ve still got a handful of mares left to foal, so the mom and the men are holding down the fort while we’re gone.

Thursday Thoughts

Wrapped up a great week at the Spokane Jr Show and now we’re loading up and heading to Ellensburg for another Jr Angus show this weekend — no slowing down around here.

The Spokane Jr Show was a good one. Kade had a strong week, landing 5th overall and 10th overall in FFA market, and his heifer topped it off as Champion FFA Market Heifer. Always proud of the kids and the work they put in. Even better getting to catch up with all our show friends — that’s what makes these shows worth it.

Anna ended up coming home Thursday night and rode over to Spokane with me on Friday. Then Saturday, Anna and I were right back at it — getting mares in, hauling them out with the studs, fixing fence, and keeping things moving.

Saturday kept things busy — JC had a 5-header calf roping, good job JC winning the 2nd round and making it back to Sunday. Then still made it to prom with Kaine that night. Jaxsen and Hailey went out as well, just skipped the prom part.

Back home, it’s been full speed as usual. Dad was working in Kahlotus and then jumped right into hauling Jaxsen around once that wrapped up. Jaxsen has been holding down most of the horse chores, while Mom and I have been busy with the colts.

Annie and Twiggs are doing great — getting turned out during the day and enjoying a little sunshine. Ben, Kaine, and Kicker have been handling cow chores, with Ben fixing circles and chasing water to keep everything running smooth.

We’ve had a few more foals hit the ground this past week, and Dad delivered a few bulls as well — just another week of juggling it all.

Wouldn’t trade this life for anything.

➡️ On to Ellensburg.

Color: Buckskin (Possibly Roan)
$6,000

Color. Cow. Foundation. This colt checks all the boxes.

KT Ruger Reloaded is the kind that gets noticed — a sharp buckskin colt with chrome, shape, and a chance to roan. He’s built right, bred right, and comes from a program that consistently produces horses you can actually use.

His sire, “Gunner” (KT Gunpowder N Lead), is an 87% NFQHA dun roan stallion known for stamping his foals with size, bone, big hips, and a solid mind. He’s a son of Cue Bars Laddie, an AQHA point earner and proven sire of versatile performance horses. On the bottom side, “Pistol” adds that quiet, dependable, ranch-and-rope-horse disposition that everyone wants.

On the dam side, KT Copper Isabelle (“Izzy”) is an 83% NFQHA, 4th-generation home-raised mare and a true program cornerstone. She’s cowy, gritty, and smart, and her foals are known for being trainable, correct, and versatile—the kind you enjoy saddling every day.

Why Ruger stands out:
âś” Strong multi-generational NFQHA foundation
âś” Proven cow sense on both sides
âś” Buckskin with a shot at roan
âś” Expected size, bone, and shape
âś” Bred for roping, ranch work, barrels, or versatility
âś” Mind and usability that matter

This is the kind that can go any direction—arena, ranch, or all-around partner.

📍 Don’t miss this one. Good ones don’t stay long.

💙 Man Crush Monday: KT Heza Pana Dude “Dude” 💙

Some horses leave a mark you don’t forget… and Dude was one of them. We lost him two winters ago, but he’s still very much a part of what we’re building every day.

Dude was a stallion we proudly kept out of Zink—a horse that stood out from the start. He had those unique white markings, that rich golden color, and the kind of look that turned heads everywhere he went. Big bone, big hip, a pretty head, and most importantly—a winning, kind disposition.

He was started by Jordan Crabtree in Ferndale, WA, and was the kind every trainer appreciates—quiet, willing, and easy to get along with. Just a good-minded, honest horse.

At 88% NFQHA, Dude carried the kind of foundation breeding we value. He was a grandson of Pana Dude, with influence from Sheza Major Star and John Zink—a pedigree built on versatility, durability, and cow sense.

And he’s still proving himself where it counts most—his foals.
We’ve got babies hitting the ground by Dude, and they’ve been big, stout, good-minded foals with size, presence, and great personalities. The kind you enjoy being around and look forward to watching grow up.

✨ That’s the kind that sticks with you.

Gone too soon, but his legacy is just getting started.

✨ Flashy, feminine, and bred to cut ✨

Fiona is the kind that makes you look twice. This sharp sorrel filly has presence, balance, and that confident look that says she knows she’s something special. She’s feminine, eye-catching, and carries herself with style.

Her sire, Mia Browbeater, is an NCHA money earner of $61,914 with standout performances including:

  • NCHA Futurity Non-Pro Reserve Champion

✨ What really sets her apart:

  • Loves attention and people
  • Confident, curious personality

Fiona is more than just a pretty face—she’s got the pedigree, the mind, and the attitude to go on and make a serious horse, while still being the kind you enjoy every day.

👉 If you want cutting blood with a whole lot of charm, Fiona deserves a hard look.
