So… what are our big weekend plans?

“Work, work, work… day after day…” That pretty much sums it up around here!

We’ve got plenty to catch up on, and there won’t be much sitting still.

Kade is busy helping with wheat harvest.

Anna is hard at work getting show calves halter broke. If you’re looking for a quality show calf, be sure to reach out to her! She has both steers and heifers available.

Kaine is getting ready for his CDL driving test on Tuesday, so he’ll be spending plenty of time behind the wheel getting in those practice miles. Good luck, Kaine!

Jaxsen is putting in time with his steers. Fair season is coming fast, and there’s still plenty to do before show day.

Ben is working on irrigation circles… because that job is never-ending this time of year.

As for the rest of us? We’ll be moving horses, fixing fence, spraying weeds, showing horses to prospective buyers, and tackling whatever else the ranch throws our way. There’s always another project waiting around the corner!

Oh yea, we have puppies too if anyone needs one give a shout out.

Wishing everyone a safe, productive, and enjoyable weekend! What are your plans this weekend?

It’s been a great week around the ranch!

Saturday started bright and early as we headed to the Sagebrush Classic. We had a wonderful time, and a big thank you to everyone who helps put that show together—it’s always a first-class event.

Foxxy was named Grand Champion Cow once again. I may have tried talking Anna into retiring her from the show ring… but I think Foxxy had other plans and made sure to prove me wrong!

Sunday was spent putting out mineral, which gave me the perfect excuse to snap some new pictures around the ranch. We also pulled hair from Toffee to send in for color verification, so we’re looking forward to seeing those results.

Tuesday brought a little excitement when a large fire broke out east of Connell. Thankfully, firefighters were able to get it under control fairly quickly. It was impressive watching the air tankers scoop water from Scootney Reservoir as they worked to contain the fire.

On Wednesday, Toni, Dr. Thonney, Kaine, and Jaxsen spent the day ultrasounding mares. It’s always exciting to check pregnancies and start looking ahead to next year’s foal crop.

Every week brings something different, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. We hope everyone has a safe, enjoyable weekend!

Some horses earn their place in the barn by proving themselves every day, and Pow has certainly done that. Today, she’s Kaine’s go-to riding horse, whether it’s long days checking cattle, gathering pairs, or just heading out across the ranch. She’s the kind of mare that’s dependable, athletic, and always ready to go to work.

Pow is especially special to us because she’s a full sister to our stallion, KT HotTimein Cowtown (“Tank”). The same exceptional cross that produced Tank also produced this outstanding ranch mare, and she’s shown us exactly why we repeated the breeding.

Her sire, KR Gun Powder, is by the legendary Colonels Smoking Gun (“Gunner”) and out of A Bueno Poco Dunit. In just nine NRHA shows, Gun Powder earned nearly $13,000 and claimed the 2016 APHA Senior Reining World Championship, proving that elite talent doesn’t require a long show career to leave a lasting impression.

On the maternal side, Pow is out of KT Cow Cuttin Hottie, a daughter of Cow Cuttin Colonel, one of the cow horse industry’s most accomplished sires. Cow Cuttin Colonel earned numerous NRCHA and AQHA titles throughout his career, producing horses known for their cow sense, athleticism, and versatility.

Pow combines those elite performance bloodlines with exactly what we value most—a practical, dependable ranch horse. She’s quick-footed, cowy, level-headed, and the kind of mare you can count on day after day.

Watching Kaine and Pow work together has been rewarding. She’s become one of those horses you naturally reach for because you know she’ll get the job done.

We couldn’t ask for a better representative of the kind of horses we strive to raise—performance-bred, ranch-proven, and a pleasure to ride every day

Color: Buckskin
Price: 7,500

There are always a few that are just a little harder to let go…

Pippa is one of those fillies.

Truthfully, part of us hopes she doesn’t sell because we’d have the perfect excuse to keep her. She’s the complete package—beautiful, intelligent, athletic, and incredibly people-oriented.

This fancy blaze-faced buckskin has been special from the beginning. She was one of the easiest horses we’ve ever halter broke. She caught on quickly, wanted to learn, and now she’s the first one to meet you at the gate looking for attention. She has the kind of disposition that makes you look forward to spending time with her.

Pippa is sired by Midnight Kat DR (“MC”), whose pedigree is packed with proven performers. He 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.

On the maternal side, Pippa is out of KT Miss Benelli Girl (“Nelli”), one of our favorite mares. Nelli is a big, eye-catching buckskin Patricia originally wanted to keep, and it’s easy to see why. She traces to Dry Spec A Pepper, Dry Doc, and Cue Bars Laddie, bringing generations of proven cutting, ranch, and all-around performance horses into Pippa’s pedigree.

Whether your dream is cutting, cow horse, reining, roping, or simply owning an exceptional horse with an outstanding mind, Pippa has all the ingredients to get you there.

Some horses are easy to sell.

Pippa is not one of them. ❤️

KT Double Down Vice “Vice”

Sire: KT OneShadie Captain
Dam: KT Comets Pepperbox “PBJ”
DOB: 3/18/2026

Color: Chestnut
Price: $4,000

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.
