Vice just keeps getting better.

As he’s matured, he’s really starting to put himself together. He’s developing a strong hip, plenty of bone, a balanced build, and the kind of athletic look that catches your eye. He’s the type of colt that’s bred to work and looks the part.

Sired by KT OneShadie Captain (“Cappy”), Vice carries proven reining and cow horse bloodlines known for producing willing, trainable horses with natural athleticism and plenty of cow sense. Cappy’s foals are consistently easy to start, kind-minded, and versatile enough to excel in the arena or on the ranch.

His dam, KT Comets Pepperbox (“PBJ”), comes from one of our favorite home-raised mare families. This is a maternal line built on dependable ranch horses that have done everything from gathering cattle to barrels and 4-H. These horses have the minds, durability, and versatility that make them lifelong partners.

Vice offers everything we look for in a young prospect:
✔️ Proven reining and cow horse pedigree
✔️ Strong foundation ranch horse genetics
✔️ Balanced, athletic build with a big hip and good bone
✔️ Quiet, willing disposition
✔️ The potential to become an outstanding rope horse, ranch horse, or all-around performance partner

He’s the kind that should only continue to improve with age, and we can’t wait to watch him develop.

“Good horses don’t happen by accident—they’re built on generations of proven genetics, and Vice is a great example of that.”

One of our favorites… and she’s making it awfully hard to let her leave.

Some foals just have that “look.” The kind that catches your eye every time you walk through the pasture.

KT Girl With A Gun is one of those fillies.

With her beautiful bay roan color, pretty head, balanced build, and confident expression, she’s the kind of filly we envisioned when we planned this cross. She’s feminine yet athletic, with plenty of hip, clean legs, and the kind of natural presence that’s hard to ignore.

Sired by KT Gunpowder N Lead (“Gunner”), she carries the versatility and trainable disposition his foals are known for. Gunner has proven himself time and again by producing horses that excel on the ranch, in the roping pen, and as dependable family mounts.

Her dam, KT EllyDoubleMelody (“Elly”), is one of the sweetest mares you’ll meet. A daughter of Captains Double Coy, Elly has spent her life as a trusted trail horse, clinic horse, and kids’ mount. She loves attention, has an exceptional mind, and passes those qualities on to her foals.

✨ Why we love her:
• Beautiful bay roan filly with eye appeal
• Strong hip and balanced conformation
• Kind, willing disposition
• Proven ranch and performance pedigree
• Athletic enough for the arena and sensible enough for everyday ranch work

If this filly doesn’t find her new home soon, there’s a good chance we’ll decide she’s staying right here at KT Ranch. She’s one we’ve admired from the beginning, and every day she gives us another reason to keep her.

Sometimes the hardest horses to sell are the ones you like the most… and this pretty girl definitely falls into that category.

Some horses are simply too good to let go.

When we had the opportunity to bring Benelli back home to KT Ranch, we didn’t hesitate. She had spent several years proving herself as a talented rope horse and barrel horse, and today she’s become one of Kade’s absolute favorite riding horses.

If you ask Kade, she’ll do just about anything you ask of her. Whether it’s roping, ranch work, or just heading out for a ride, Benelli is dependable, athletic, and always willing. In fact, the biggest problem around here is that everyone else keeps trying to steal her from him! She’s the kind of horse everyone wants to throw a saddle on.

Born in 2017, this beautiful buckskin mare has the size, bone, and athletic ability we strive to produce. She combines eye appeal with a quiet disposition and a pedigree built for generations of performance horses.

Benelli is sired by our own KT Gunpowder N Lead (“Gunner”), whose offspring have earned a reputation for their trainability, versatility, and willing minds. Gunner is by Cue Bars Laddie, an Open AQHA All-Around Trophy winner and CCHA Hall of Fame horse that excelled in reining, cow horse, and roping.

Her dam, A Pepper Girl, brings outstanding cutting horse genetics. She is a daughter of Dry Spec A Pepper, the 1986 Eastern Idaho Quarter Horse Association Senior Cutting Champion, and a granddaughter of the legendary Dry Doc—an NCHA Futurity Champion, AQHA Reserve World Champion in Cutting, NCHA Hall of Fame horse, and earner of more than $85,000.

Benelli is proof that great breeding produces great horses. She has the athletic ability to compete, the mind to handle a day’s work on the ranch, and the kind of disposition that makes everyone want to ride her.

We couldn’t be happier to have her back where she belongs.

Sometimes the best horses find their way home.

Some colts check all the boxes… KT Midnight Gun goes a step further.

This handsome grullo colt combines exceptional color, proven performance bloodlines, and the kind of presence that makes people stop and take a second look. With his balanced build, athletic frame, and eye-catching markings, he’s the kind of colt that’s just as exciting to admire today as he will be to ride tomorrow.

🐴 KT Midnight Gun

• Sire: Midnight Kat DR
• Dam: KT Gun In A Million
• 📅 Born: April 24, 2025
• 🎨 Grullo (Color Tested E/E)
• 💲 $10,000

His sire, Midnight Kat DR (“MC”), brings elite reining and cow horse genetics to the table. MC is by Starlight Midnight, an NRHA money-earner, AQHA World Show qualifier, and son of the legendary Grays Starlight, whose offspring have earned more than $10 million across the NRHA, NRCHA, and NCHA.

MC’s dam, Slick As A Cat DR, is by Magneticat, a son of the legendary Metallic Cat, adding tremendous athleticism, cow sense, size, and stopping ability to this colt’s pedigree.

His dam, KT Gun In A Million (“Mil”), contributes equally impressive genetics. Sired by our own KT Gunpowder N Lead, she carries proven ranch and performance bloodlines through Cue Bars Laddie, a CCHA Hall of Fame horse and AQHA All-Around Trophy winner known for his success in reining, roping, and cow horse competition.

Mil is also color-tested smoky black and is known for her unique brindle coloring, but her greatest strength is the depth of her maternal pedigree. Her dam, Wright On Sugarnic (“Stinger”), won the Pro Division of the Cascade Cutters Futurity and traces directly to proven performers including Lenas Wright On, Just Plain Sugari, and Just Plain Colonel.

KT Midnight Gun offers the complete package—elite cow horse genetics, trainability, athletic ability, foundation breeding, and a striking grullo color that’s hard to ignore. Whether your goals are ranch versatility, reined cow horse, roping, or adding a standout prospect to your program, this colt has the pedigree and potential to excel.

Summer seems to be flying by, and another busy week is already in the books here.

Jaxsen’s girlfriend, Hailey, has been out helping with chores several times, and she’s been a huge help. She’s a hardworking, respectful young lady, and we sure enjoy having her around. Dad has also been making the early morning trips to town with Jaxsen for weight lifting.

Kaine is getting closer to another milestone as he finishes up the hours needed for his CDL. If all goes as planned, he should have everything completed by the first of July.

Away from the ranch, I had the opportunity to tour Cle Elum Dam and see the Helix fish passage in action. It was fascinating to see the engineering and conservation efforts firsthand.

Back at home, the horses are keeping everyone busy. Toni has been riding Holly, while Kade has been putting time on Frappe. He also hauled Electra to Ellensburg this week for surgery to remove a tumor from her nasal cavity. We’re hoping for a smooth recovery and appreciate everyone who has checked in on her.

Anna wrapped up a stretch of full-time work at her internship after filling in for someone who had left. She’s now back to part-time, which means she’s catching up on halter breaking calves as we get our show steers and heifers ready for sale.

We also had some special visitors this week. Our neighbors brought their POA mare over for pictures before she heads to a new home. Abril, who graduated with Kaine, is preparing to leave for the Navy. We couldn’t be prouder of her and wish her nothing but success in this exciting new chapter. She’s a hardworking young lady, and we know she’ll do great things.

Toni also had visitors at the ranch and KT Bullet Proof found his new home. We always enjoy meeting new people and helping match them with the right horse.

One adventure this week involved quite the convoy when Ben, Kaine, Kade, Maxx, and Keegan headed to St. John to bring home Skip’s vehicles. It made for a pretty memorable caravan rolling down the road.

Breeding season is winding down around here. We’ve pulled Sagebug and Gunner, and let’s just say… neither one is very happy about it! Cappy is essentially finished too, spending a little more time with one outside mare before he’s completely done. Now the Gunner and Sagebug mares have joined Cappy’s mares with foals, and everyone is settling into their summer groups.

We wrapped up the weekend doctoring eyes on Sunday—a reminder that ranch work never really takes a day off.

Every week brings a little hard work, a few challenges, plenty of blessings, and memories made with family and friends.

Have a wonderful Thursday, everyone!
