Every good ranch starts with good horses, and Remi is proving she’s ready to follow in the hoofprints of the great ones before her.

KT Gunpowder Stings “Remi”
Mare
Sire: KT Gunners Sage Bug
Dam: KT Major Stinger Bee (“BB”)
DOB: 3/22/2022
Color: Red Dun

Remi is a beautiful red dun mare that Toni started riding, and we’re excited about her future. She is currently at the Shattucks’, where she’s learning the ropes—literally! Since Jim needed another roping horse, Remi has gone into training with him to continue her education in the roping pen. We can’t wait to watch her progress and see where this next chapter takes her.

Her sire, KT Gunners Sage Bug, has consistently passed on athletic ability, substance, and good minds to his foals. Sage Bug is by our stallion KT Gunpowder N Lead (“Gunner”), a roan dunskin son of the AQHA point-earning and proven sire Cue Bars Laddie. Gunner has become one of the cornerstone stallions of our program, producing horses with size, bone, versatility, and the trainable minds every ranch horse needs.

Gunner’s dam, Pistol, is a mare that has done it all. She has been shown with the NFQHA, featured on the cover of the NFQHA Rule Book and in the NFQHA magazine, and has proven herself as an outstanding ranch horse, rope horse, and family horse that the kids could ride. Sage Bug’s dam, Continental Lady Bug, adds even more substance with her Continental Cad and Mr. Blackburn breeding, producing horses known for their durability and strong foundation.

Remi’s dam, KT Major Stinger Bee (“BB”), contributes an exceptional performance pedigree. BB is out of Stinger, the Cascade Cutters Futurity Pro Champion and an own daughter of Lenas Wright On. Stinger’s dam earned NCHA money and AQHA points, while the pedigree is packed with legendary names including Smart Little Lena, Slide Me Again, and Just Plain Colonel—horses recognized for their success in the cutting pen and cow horse arena.

Remi represents exactly what we strive to raise at KT Ranch: horses with the minds, athletic ability, and pedigree to excel wherever they’re asked to go. Whether that’s gathering cattle, spending long days on the ranch, or stepping into the roping arena, she’s proving she’s ready for the challenge.

We’re excited to watch Remi continue her training with the Shattucks and look forward to seeing her develop into another dependable ranch and rope horse.

Today we celebrate more than just a way of life—we celebrate the values that make the cowboy tradition endure: hard work, honesty, grit, and a deep respect for the land and the animals we care for.

At KT Ranch, every day starts with a job to do. Whether we’re riding colts, checking cattle, fixing fence, hauling to horse shows, putting up hay, or helping the next generation learn the value of a hard day’s work, we’re proud to carry on a lifestyle that has been passed down through generations.

Being a cowboy isn’t about the hat or the boots—it’s about showing up, doing the work even when it’s hard, lending a hand when it’s needed, and taking pride in caring for your livestock and your neighbors.

We’re thankful for everyone who helps keep the Western way of life alive—from ranchers, farmers, and rodeo families to horsemen and women across the country.

Happy National Day of the Cowboy to all who live it, love it, and work hard every day to preserve it.

God bless the cowboy, the ranching community, and the traditions that continue to shape the American West.

The weekend is finally here! ☀️

Does anyone have any fun plans this weekend? We’d love to hear what everyone is up to!

We’ve got another busy weekend ahead at the ranch:
Showing horses
Fixing fence
Working on circles
Getting calves halter broke
Working with our show steers

There never seems to be a shortage of things to do around here, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Every project gets us one step closer to our goals, and we’re looking forward to another productive weekend with family, friends, and livestock.

Wishing everyone a safe, fun, and successful weekend! Share your plans in the comments—we’d love to follow along!

Another great week has come and gone, and it’s hard to believe how fast this summer is flying by!

This week we got pictures of Kade and Jaxsen with their steers for the Benton Franklin Fair. Fair season is just around the corner, and we’re excited to see how they do.

Jexy got to head to a playday, and Ty said he was great. We always love hearing that our horses are doing exactly what they’re bred and trained to do.

With no shows on the schedule last weekend, we took advantage of the time at home and got caught up on ranch work. Sometimes those weekends are just as productive as being on the road.

Friday, Chad came out to trim horses, and Jaxsen and I helped hold horses. It’s one of Jaxsen’s favorite jobs, and he’s always happy to spend the day around the horses. I feel like if you know Jaxsen you will know the correct tone to read that in.

There have been plenty of individual projects around the ranch too:

• Kade spent Saturday helping with wheat harvest, then had Sunday off to work with Frappe, who continues to make us proud with her progress.

• Anna worked with the heifers and steers she has for sale and even found time to rebuild some fence.

• We’ve been working on loading Payday in the trailer as he may soon be headed to Oregon. Toni took him in today to get his travel papers, so we’re excited to see what’s next for him.

• Ben worked his other job on Saturday, then spent Sunday working on irrigation circles. He also got a new washer and dryer while Kaine and I hauled the old ones out.

One of the biggest highlights this week was Kaine passing his CDL test on Tuesday! Congratulations! That’s a huge accomplishment and another step toward the future.

We also said goodbye to Dally and Rey as they headed to their new home. It’s never easy to watch good ones leave, but we’re excited for the adventures ahead for them and wish their new owners many happy years together.

Don’t forget we have Idaho Shagg puppies for anyone wanting a puppy shoot me a message.

As always, we’re thankful for family, good horses, and another productive week on the ranch. We hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and good luck to all those gearing up for fair season!

Sire: KT Gunpowder N Lead
Dam: KT Mocha Fudsey Lean (“Mocha”)

Jojo is a beautiful bay roan mare that Anna handpicked to keep, and it’s easy to see why. She has an outstanding disposition, plenty of size, and the kind of personality that makes her a pleasure to be around every day.

She is a granddaughter of Cue Bars Laddie, an AQHA point-earning and proven producing stallion, and her dam, Mocha, is a fancy bay mare known for her award-winning disposition. Jojo combines the kind of mind, athleticism, and versatility that ranch horse enthusiasts appreciate.

Her pedigree is packed with legendary bloodlines, including Smart Little Lena, Docs Oak, Tuff Continental, Jackie Bee, Imperial Dixie, Thirsty Blue Boy, Coy’s Bonanza, Wimpy, Skipper W, and Little Joe the Wrangler.

Jojo represents the type of horse we strive to raise—good-minded, well-built, and bred to excel whether she’s working cattle, riding the ranch, or becoming someone’s dependable partner.
