Working Dog Wednesday – Leo
Don’t let the size fool you… Leo the mini poodle is convinced he’s running the whole outfit.
Around here, Leo wears a lot of hats:
✔️ Mouse catcher (and very proud of it)
✔️ Pickup rider (seat secured, no negotiations)
✔️ Cow sorter (in his mind, anyway )
He’s also the proud father of Patch and Doodle the Poodle, passing along his confidence, personality, and strong belief that he is, in fact… a big dog.
Leo might not weigh much, but he brings 100% effort, 110% attitude, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting around the ranch.
We’re not saying he runs the place…
…but we’re also not saying he doesn’t

Two-Year-Old Tuesday: KT Masked Mirage ✨
Some fillies are for sale… and some are the reason you breed horses in the first place. KT Masked Mirage is staying right here.
This gorgeous bay splash filly, born 4/30/24, is one of those special ones we’ve been excited about from day one. She is the long-awaited foal out of Lonesome Jaebargina, “Gina,” and by Masked Gun, and we truly could not be happier with how she turned out.
Her dam, Gina, is a beautiful mare we brought from Iowa, and she has been everything we hoped for and more. She is sweet, loves attention, and has the kind of proven record that speaks for itself—AQHA point earner, NRHA money earner, ROM in Ranch Riding, and 4x World Qualifier. Gina is by Lonesome Royalty, who earned his ROM in Working Cow Horse and is by Lonesome Lynx. On the bottom side, her dam Do Right Dew brings in names like Docs Jack Sprat and Freckles Playboy, adding even more depth to an already standout pedigree.
Her sire, Masked Gun, only adds to the excitement. With LTE of $90,000, this 2014 palomino stallion has an impressive performance record that includes being an NRHA Futurity Open Finalist, NRHA Derby Open Finalist, TRFAM Shootout competitor, AQHA Congress Futurity Open Finalist, and NRHA Derby Open Ancillary Reserve Champion.
KT Masked Mirage has the pedigree, presence, and kind of future that made this an easy decision for us—this filly is not for sale. We are thrilled to be keeping her and cannot wait to watch what she becomes.
