Man Crush Monday – Midnight Kat DR

Not new around here—but one we’re just as excited about today as the day he arrived. Midnight Kat DR (“MC”) has settled right into our program and continues to prove why we’re so high on him.

MC is by Starlight Midnight, a 2002 black stallion, NRHA money-earner, AQHA point earner, and Register of Merit recipient who qualified for the 2007 AQHA World Show in Jr. Heeling. Starlight Midnight is a son of the legendary Grays Starlight, whose offspring have earned over $10 million and made him a leading sire across NRHA, NRCHA, and NCHA—along with a top broodmare sire.

On the bottom side, MC is out of Slick As A Cat DR, a daughter of Magneticat—a big, red roan stallion known for his bone, size, stop, and cow sense. Magneticat is by Metallic Cat, one of the most influential cutting sires in the industry today. With Smooth As A Cat also in the pedigree, MC is stacked with elite cowhorse genetics from top to bottom.

Started by Clint Davis, MC has the kind of ability you expect from his pedigree—quick, athletic, and naturally cowy, with a big stop and smooth movement. But what really sets him apart is his mind. He’s quiet, kind, and the kind that meets you at the gate. He’s a pleasure to have around and exactly what we want representing our program.

One of the biggest advantages for us is how usable his pedigree is—he crosses extremely well on our mares while still bringing in the proven Grays Starlight influence we value.

For us, it’s always about the total package—ability, pedigree, disposition, and presence—and MC checks every box.

Cow, class, and character—this one’s the real deal.

Man Crush Monday – KT OneShadie Captain “Cappy”

Some stallions are bred right… and some are the kind you build a program around. Cappy is both.

KT OneShadie Captain is out of A Little Shadie Chic “Shadie” and by Captains Double Coy “Double,” combining proven reining performance with real-world ranch ability.

Shadie is a dark palomino mare with a strong show record, including 2006 NRHA Reserve Regional Experience Champion (Region One), along with multiple AQHA points. She carried youth riders in the show pen before becoming a standout broodmare. Her pedigree is stacked—by Comandalena ($143,000+ NRHA earnings, 260+ AQHA points) and out of a daughter of A Little Shady Jac ($17,000+ NRHA)—with greats like Doc Tom Tucker, Hollywood Jac 86, Fritz Command, and Smart Little Lena backing her. She is also 5-panel negative.

On the top side, Double is the kind of stallion that stamps his colts—big hipped, cowy, and naturally athletic. His foals are known for being easy to start, willing, and versatile. Whether it’s ranch work, roping, or barrels, they have the ability and mind to go do the job. Double himself was professionally trained, used on the ranch, and is the kind you can rely on every day—cow smart, smooth, and rides like a gelding.

Cappy carries that same combination—pedigree, disposition, and ability.
Started by Jason Hicks and later with Jordan Pace, he was given a solid foundation from the start. We picked him up in June 2023, and he’s been everything we hoped for—trainable, good-minded, and built to perform.

This is the kind of stallion that doesn’t just look the part—he produces it.
