This is a tremendous colt backed by a pedigree that flat works. He combines proven Playgun performance bloodlines with strong, reliable ranch horse genetics—setting him up to excel in the arena or go to work outside.
His dam, KT Gunz N Roses (“Ro”), is a daughter of Silver Gun—an AQHA Reserve Champion Superhorse with 100+ points across roping, cow horse, and reining. This mare line brings consistency, ability, and the kind of versatility that holds up in real-world use.
On the top side, he’s sired by KT Gunpowder N Lead (“Gunner”), a son of Cue Bars Laddie, an AQHA All-Around Champion and CCHA Hall of Fame horse. Gunner stamps his foals with size, mind, and the kind you can use every day—rope, ranch, or family safe.
👉 The kind you don’t have to talk yourself into—this one stands on his own.

If you need a colt for all-around performance, here it is. His sire is a stallion that has won money in numerous events. This impressive colt is a ¾ brother to our mare, KT Gunz for Chics, “Glo.” His sire is NZ Scotch Time, “Rip.” Rip is owned by and stands at CD Performance Horses in Syracuse, Kansas. Rip is a smart, versatile stallion with size, mind, and disposition to match. He is a money earner in heeling and running barrels. He is used in all aspects of ranch life. He is starting his heading career. He also participates in reining cowhorse events and limited cutting. This colt’s dam, Benelli, is a fabulous mare that we were happy to get back. She has been used as a roping and barrel horse for the past few years. She suffered an injury, so was being used as a broodmare. Kade has pulled her in and has been legging her back up to start roping off of her again. She is a big, impressive, striking mare with a pedigree that is bred to perform. Her dam, Pepper, is a Dry Spec a Pepper daughter, who was the 1986 Eastern Idaho QH Assn. Senior Cutting Champion.

Then when you watch this colt move, you know he has it. This colt carries himself like a true champion, with grace, cattiness, and ability. Fun to watch but doesn’t lack for the muscle, size, and just out and out prettiness. We love watching this colt as he grows and can see the absolute quality of this colt. We invite you to come see him.
Back to the grind after Jr Show on Monday. Kaine and Kade only had a couple days of school and then they were headed to FFA State convention, Jaxsen is home one day longer before he went up. Kaine and Kade are on the Ag Sales Team and Jaxsen is in Food Products (jr high competition). Toni was taking 3 old mares to Sheena on Tuesday to get their teeth floated, so we gathered them up Monday night. Copper was going as well, because as many of you may remember, she somehow got her leg caught in the gate chain last summer as a foal still on her dam, well it is infected again and mom wants Sheena to have a look at it. And Heidi, our mare from TX is going in to get a blood panel, she was exposed to their stud before we got her, so we just want to see what is going on. We caught Heidi as well just because she wasn’t worked with much before we got her. She is just a clean slate.
Tuesday morning dad and Toni took the horses in dropped them off with Sheena. Heidi is open. Sheena says Copper legs looks pretty good, we just need to give her exceed. And Blue was terrible to do floating her teeth, we were all surprised by that (that is my sarcastic voice since you cannot heat my tone). Mr Pickles the donkey went in with Copper since he has been locked in with her while we were gone. He is a great companion animal. Everything got done pretty timely so Toni went and loaded up and came home with them. We are really thankful for Sheena. We moved Absolute to the dog pen in the back yard since she is waxed for the 2nd day.
I guess Absolute just wanted to foal in mom’s dog pen, she had a bay roan filly by Gunner Wednesday morning. Queenie had a fancy palomino colt by Tank. Full brother to Cowy. Juan called and had time to come out and weld the circle Wednesday. He did a great job, and now we have water back on. Circle 6 was trying to crash on us. Toni showed Juan where the sleeve was needed then went back to work. Kaine and Kade headed to Pullman with the Connell FFA chapter to participate in Ag Sales. They were not leaving until evening, so go to do chores before they left.
The Jr High, so Jaxsen, headed up to FFA State on Thursday morning. I do not recall what he said his competition is called. But they are evaluating different goods, like meats, cheese, chocolate chips? My info is from Jaxsen, he says he is really good at it, he was 5th at state, so he must be pretty good. He thought he would be in the top three and wasn’t super happy about being 5th. His team was 2nd in the state. He says that is why he is so good at making sandwiches. He knows what to put on it. So just us adults doing all the chores for a few days.
On Friday dad and Steve delivered a bull to Oregon. The dogs and I fixed the fence between 5 and 6, the calves were crawling out into the wheat field. We, the dogs and I, took a bunch of pics of Gunners foals, and then we went out and checked Sagebug foals. Toni, Marlo and I did the horse chores. Ben did the cow chores. Jaxsen was home late Friday (12:03 Saturday morning). We had a gal come out to look at Blonde. No, Toni doesn’t want to sell her. The gal really liked Blonde and all the other foals too of course. All of the fillies are obnoxiously tame. And July was out there, so it was a fun tour.
Anna came home from college on Saturday. Butte Red pickup had been up at Chipman and Taylor, so as part of my mothers day present she went and had it cleaned on Friday. It looks really good. Kade and Kaine’s Ag Sales Team was 5th at State, good job boys! Kade scores a perfect score on the written test and Kaine was 8th overall individual. Toni showed horses Saturday morning. We have a deposit on BB’s filly. Anna and I got the cows in and sorted the bulls off of the heifers. When Ben got home from work he helped and Toni and Jaxsen came down after lunch. We banded the later bull calves and the black ballie and clubbies. Kade and Kaine got home late Saturday night.
Happy Mothers Day. Freida had a big palomino colt on Mothers Day that looked like he had been in the oven too long. Toni and Mom gave him Nursemate ASAP, which we do with all of Freida’s foals. Ben made us all lunch, bacon wrapped shrimp, brisket, dutch oven potatoes, and he baked two of mom’s peach pies. Lunch was great. Then the boys worked on their steers to get them ready to go to Wheatland this weekend. Toni and I went out and moved Gracie and Queenie in with Tank. Kade and Jaxsen got Opal, Lightening and Mocha in while we were getting the other two in, and moved them out into the pasture. Kaine hauled Venus back to her house, Venus is an outside mare getting bred to MC, and Kaine is dating the daughter of Venus’ owner. So it worked out for her to go home. Lots of work done this weekend.
Mothers Day is celebrated everyday here! Our Mothers make our ranch and our program what it is. We are pretty proud of what our breeding program has done on the dam side for both the cattle and the horses. We are down to just the last few mares to foal and couldn’t be happier with this year’s foal and calf crop.
Monday night the boys packed up to go to Spokane Jr Livestock show the following morning. Toni and I checked. We all did our normal chores. I took some videos of MC’s foals to make a short video. Kade and Toni went for a late ride. Monday was the calm before the storm.
Tuesday mid morning, after we got everything fed and finished packing up the last few things, Kaine, Kade and I headed to Spokane with 3 steers and 2 heifers. We caravaned with three axle gooseneck we met on the highway right out of Connell from Nebraska. He did not get off at the Jr show with us and continued on, probably back to Nebraska. Luis and Aram were already there with their pigs, they helped us get the trailer unloaded. The rest of Footloose 4H got there and we got all set up and got ready to show Wednesday. Both the heifers have been to shows before, so they were fine. The three steers we were a bit nervous about, but the boys had worked on them just enough for the steers to do really pretty well. When we were in line for weigh in, another kid’s steer kicked the back gate, which proceeded to hit one of the volunteers, Jeff, but his cheek open, so weigh in had to be delayed, but everything got weighed in. With the whole 4-H group and our 2 FFA kids the Connell group had 13 head in the beef barn out of the 187 entries. There was also a large contingent of Connell kids in the pig barn thanks to Mr. Palmer, one of our great FFA advisors. Toni had court on Tuesday, so she went home and did our chores, so the men and Jaxsen had one less day they had to cover chores for us, and check the horses.
Got up Wednesday, the heifers showed first, both Baby Jewel and Penelope won their class and made it back to the championship round. Baby Jewel was Reserve champion 4H heifer and Penelope was 5th overall. We did not take any prospects so did not show again until market. Leslie and Traci kids had prospects and Ady was in the top 5. Two of the steers we got from Ohio won their class and made it back to the championship round. Kade’s Angus steer was 2nd in class, and 16th overall, Kaine’s club steer was 2nd in his class and 13th overall. Kade’s club steer was 4th in class. Everyone had a great day. McCall, Terry and Erina all came up and watched the kids show. The weather was super good, everyone was in good spirits and the boys had lots of friends to hang out with.
Thursday started with PeeWee, the steer Kayla normally shows was not great the day before, so she showed Baby Jewel, who was a rockstar. Savannah showed Natalie’s steer, and he was good, but not as good as Baby Jewel. Kayla told Kaine she got Baby Jewel warmed up so she got half of whatever he won in showmanship, she was hoping for a buckle, but he got reserve, so I guess she will have to share a large vest. Kayla is 6 so is will probably be dress like on her. Kaine was reserve champion Sr showman and Kade made it back to the final round. JuJu was 3rd overall and Natalie was 5th overall in Jrs. The boys all went and got milk shakes since they did a good job.
Friday Kaine and Kade participated in FFA Ag Sales. This was Kaine’s first ag sales competition with the team, and we hear he did really well. Connell as a team was the top team. There are four members on the team and they are getting ready to go to State FFA next week. Aram held Kaine’s steer in livestock judging. Toni told him he could be a holder or livestock judge. He chose to be a holder which she felt was the wrong decision, but it was the decision he made. Anna came up and hung out with us. Terry and Erina came back to see Anna and hang out with us. And we had time to socialize and catch up with our show families. We have lots and lots of friends at the Spokane Jr. Show. Dad texted that one of the mares foaled, it was Bayley with a mini me filly by Sagebug. Dad and Mom both insisted that the mare that foaled was brown and named Mud, a different mare. But it was clear in the picture it was Bayley, who is a smutty buckskin.
Saturday was the livestock sale. The kids all did great. Thank you to everyone that supports the Jr Livestock show. Kaine helped clean up and then came home to go to prom with Jaycee. Jeana was in charge of pictures since I was still at Jr Show and Ben was working. Dad went to Connell and picked up the flowers. All our steers were loaded out on Saturday night. Terry and Erina came back to watch the sale and we had Tomato Street for dinner. The kids went and played laser tag. At home we heard that Gracie foaled and had a pali foal. We also hear that Doll foaled and had a funky colored foal, maybe a filly. Doll had a bay roan colt, which we found out on Sunday.
We came home Sunday. Toni picked up Cammie from Allies on her way home. Kade and I brought the camper. Because of how the boys had loaded the trailer, the 2 show heifers and Cammie were in the back compartment together. Luckily after the initial interest between the horse and heifers they all settled in for a smooth ride home. After getting home, we went right back to work. Toni had to unload Cammie, fix some panels, check the horses at Mom’s. Once we were all the way unloaded we took off for Circle 5 to see the foals out there. Bayley was her wonderful self, so we just caught her in the pasture and Toni rode on the tailgate of the pickup and we led Bayley to the corral, inoculated her, and put her with Cappy. The little filly is super cute, loves being petted so is probably going to be another favorite. We seem to have no end to the favorites list. After we got done checking everything, we did our normal chores which ended with the end of the day.
We are on the tail end of foaling and couldn’t be happier with the foals we have on the ground. Lots of fun videos of them on TikTok which you can view at @ktranch155
Running Sparkles and Irish just did not want to have Easter babies, both foaled Monday. Mom is claiming that Running Sparkles foaled on Easter. We aren’t going to argue about it. Toni took Hurricane Hailey and Mr Pickles (the donkey) into see Sheena Monday to get the vet work done so Hurricane can leave on Saturday. Guess who was harder to load, not the yearling filly who had not been loaded in a while. The donkey who wanted his nonrelated baby July to come with him. Toni had people out looking at yearlings on Monday. Dad took a bull to Lewison with Steve. Scott needed some pictures of the bulls we have left, so I went out and got pics of the 5 left, now we are down to 4.
Toni took Hurricane back in to see Sheena to get blood drawn for her coggins test and to do a health paper. Kade is working on halter breaking his filly, Texas Red, yes, he calls her Texas Red, not Red or Texas. I am surprised it is not longer. The boys are working on their Spokane steers every night. We leave on Tuesday, if you want to watch them show they show Wednesday and Thursday, if you need beef the sale is Saturday. With the price of beef it might be cheaper to buy it at Spokane Jr Livestock Show then at the store.
CeeCee and Kandy foaled on Wednesday. CeeCee had a fancy grullo colt by Sagebug and Kandy a bay filly by Dude. Everyone went somewhere on Wednesday. Dad, Steve and Skip hauled a bull for BB to Jed in Ellensburg. Bobette, if you are reading this make sure to ask him why he did not stop to see you. Toni went to Pullman with Jitterbug, Pinky and Abs. Then she stopped in Colfax and had lunch with Kimmy, and they named Running Sparkles filly. Then she went to Sonny and Jeannies and picked up the dog food. She came back to show Wild to a person. Kade and Jaxsen worked in Connell at the FFA plant sale after school.
Mil and Dally foaled on Thursday. A grullo colt and a chestnut filly. The boys started clipping their steers Spokane steers and heifers Thursday. Kaine worked at the plant sale Thursday after school. Katana and Red Robin foaled on Friday, two fillies, a buckskin and a chestnut. Chad came and trimmed some feet. Marlo came and helped Toni and Kade with chores and with Chad.
On Saturday Kicker, Leslie and I took the campers up to Spokane to park. I would like to tell you it was uneventful. However, Leslie got a blowout along the highway. We were about 5 miles from the rest stop and so Kicker and I, since we were in front of her, took our camper and unhooked it and then went back to change the tire. Of course all our equipment, like the impact gun, to make it go paster was still in the gooseneck from going to Reno, so we just had the basic stuff that stays in the tool box. And 100% of the vehicles that did not move over to the fast lane were Jeep Wranglers, just throwing that out there for all you jeep wrangler people. Toni and Scarlett got the mare and foals in, wormed them and gave them West Nile. Toni loaded Hurricane Hailey out to go to Wyoming. Ben went to work. Anna, Lane and Katelynn worked on fence all day, replacing fiberglass posts with metal T posts. Kade went and helped a friend with branding Saturday morning, while Kaine got started clipping. Kade got back early afternoon and the boys continued clipping and drying their steers. Anna, Lane and Katelynn moved the cows after they were finished with the fence.
Sunday Whitty left at around 10. Toni, Jaxsen and I went down and finished the Cappy’s fence. Anna, Lane and Katelynn cleaned out the barn and threw a bunch of stuff away. Kaine and Kade finished up with their steers and heifers and then cleaned out the trailer and worked on packing the trailer. Kade came down and helped us move Cappy’s pen down to circle 6. We also got some vidoes on Pine and put out straw bales. Toni and Kade went for a later afternoon ride.
