SUNDAY FILLY SPOTLIGHT – KT Sages Uptown Girl

KT Sages Uptown Girl

Sire: KT Gunners Sage Bug
Dam: Franks Uptown Zoey
Date of Birth: April 26, 2026
Color: Red Dun Roan
Price: $5,000

We absolutely love this filly. In fact, we keep talking about keeping her—but our keep list is already far too long, and apparently, we cannot keep them all. Someone else had better buy her before we talk ourselves into making another exception!

KT Sages Uptown Girl is developing into a stout, correct and beautifully balanced filly. She has plenty of hip, strong bone, natural shape and the kind of presence that immediately catches your eye. Add in that gorgeous red dun roan color, and she is awfully hard to overlook.

Her dam, Franks Uptown Zoey, is a sweet, kind gray mare and an absolute pleasure to have around. Zoey is by Frankly Majestic, a son of Too Bee Frank and grandson of Okie Leo. Her dam, Reo Annie Get Yo Gun, is a Major Bonanza granddaughter. This is proven foundation breeding known for versatility, cow sense and usability.

Uptown Girl is sired by KT Gunners Sage Bug, who is by KT Gunpowder N Lead, “Gunner.” Gunner is a roan dunskin son of Cue Bars Laddie, an AQHA point earner and proven producer whose genetics have excelled in reining, cow horse and roping.

Gunner’s dam, Pistol, is a standout NFQHA mare who has been featured in the association’s rule book and magazine. More importantly, she is a dependable ranch and rope horse that the entire family can ride.

Sage Bug’s dam, Continental Lady Bug, is an 81% NFQHA mare by Continental Cad and tracing to Mr Blackburn. She brings strong bone, an outstanding mind, dependable color production and the kind of disposition we want passed down through our program.

Uptown Girl offers:

✔ Gorgeous red dun roan color
✔ A stout, balanced and correct build
✔ Plenty of hip, bone and natural shape
✔ Proven foundation and performance genetics
✔ The mind and versatility to go in any direction

She is bred to become the kind of dependable, good-looking mare everyone wants in their pasture—one that can work on the ranch, rope, compete in the arena or raise outstanding foals later on.

Honestly, selling this one may hurt a little. She is exactly the kind we like to keep.

Thursday Thoughts from Kellie

Thursday Thoughts is going to be a little weak this week because I’ve been at the Benton Franklin Fair all week with Toni, Kade and Jaxsen.

Meanwhile, we left Mom, Dad, Ben, Kicker and Kaine at home to handle all the chores on top of their regular full-time jobs. I’m sure they’re thrilled with us. Anna also went back to the University of Idaho, which gets a big blah from me. Not the school, the fact that she is not at home.

Since today is Thursday, if you haven’t made it to the fair yet, you missed watching Kade show for the final time at Benton Franklin.

The good news is that you can still watch him show at CBJLS—for free—or at the Othello Fair. He is saving the steer he considers his best for Othello, so there is still more to come. He showed my favorite here.

You also missed watching Jaxsen show, but thankfully, you can catch him again next year.

You haven’t missed everything, though! Kade’s steer sells tomorrow. He is out of our cow Foxxy and by Trump Train, and we would love to see you at the sale. It starts tomorrow morning, so come support these hardworking kids and the livestock they have spent months raising.

Full disclosure: I wrote this before fair started—but I am SURE we had a great week. That is positive thinking…or tempting fate. We’ll find out.

Good luck to everyone competing at their county fairs this season, no matter what kind of animal you are showing. Fair week takes a tremendous amount of work, dedication and family support. Enjoy every minute of it—even the early mornings, late nights, dust, exhaustion and inevitable fair-food decisions you’ll regret later.

Thursday Thoughts from Kellie

Last Thursday, Kaine finished welding the gate panel for MC’s pen. Ben brought it down with the tractor, and we got it set in place. One more project officially crossed off the list!

On Friday, I hauled mineral out to the cows and horses and took advantage of the trip to get some new pictures. Toni showed horses on Saturday and managed to get even more pictures—because around here, getting good horse pictures is practically a full-time job.

We also tattooed the bulls on Saturday and moved them out of the weaning pen and into the bull pen. They’re growing, looking good, and ready for the next stage.

The Tomrens came out to look at the horses, and Toni took them around the ranch. The kids had an absolute blast!

Toni and Kade also moved Mocha and Bean up to the house. They were the last of the sold foals still out in Circle 5, so we’re making progress getting everyone where they needs to be

On Sunday, Kaine and Ben got Skip’s old pickup set up as the welding pickup. It may be an old pickup, but it has a new job—and on a ranch, that means it is officially back in business.

Jexy competed at the State Finals Games over the weekend and had a great showing! He placed fourth in both Keyhole and the California Stake Race and won two candles. We’re pretty proud of him!

Emma is borrowing Reina for the rodeo season, and she and her sister, Maddie, have been busy getting her legged up and ready to go.

And then there is Toni’s latest adventure…

Toni won a champagne filly in a raffle and we had already purchased another champagne filly. Our quest is now complete: every color of the rainbow is either already here or currently in transport!

Of course, plenty of time has also been spent playing with the puppies—which is not exactly a hardship. They are growing fast, full of personality, and looking for their own families.

🐾 If you need a puppy in your life, let me know!
