Saturday Colt Spotlight – KT Double the Payday

If you’re looking for a colt that blends reining talent, ranch practicality, cow sense, and foundation bloodlines — here’s one worth paying attention to. He is an in your business type of colt so hard to get pics of. He is halter broke as well.

KT Double the Payday is a sharp-made palomino colt by KT OneShadie Captain (“Cappy”) and out of KT Easter Bunny (“Peanut”). He’s got the look, the pedigree, and the kind of mind we’ve come to expect from this family.

Cappy is backed by generations of proven performers. His dam, A Little Shadie Chic (“Shadie”), had a successful NRHA career including a 2006 Reserve Regional Experience Championship in Region One, AQHA points, and later became the kind of mare trusted to carry young riders in the show pen.

The pedigree behind her is stacked:
✨ Comandalena — over $143,000 earned and 260.5 AQHA points
✨ A Little Shady Jac
✨ Smart Little Lena
✨ Hollywood Jac 86
✨ Doc Tom Tucker
✨ Fritz Command

On the top side, Captains Double Coy (“Double”) was the kind of stallion we still talk about often around here. He consistently stamped his foals with cow, brains, athleticism, and easy-going dispositions. We still use several of his daughters on the ranch today, and Kade ropes off a couple of them regularly.

On the bottom side, Peanut adds foundation strength and personality. She’s a sweet-natured dunalino mare by KT Heza Pana Dude, carrying lines that trace back to Zinks Major Kid, Pana Dude, Major Bonanza, Skipper W, and Skipster.

This colt is bred to go in just about any direction:
✔ Ranch horse
✔ Rope horse
✔ Reining prospect
✔ Cowhorse
✔ Family using horse

Performance on paper. Ability in the pasture. The kind of colt that should only get better with time.

Thursday Thoughts from the Ranch

Thursdays around here are that funny in-between day…
Not quite the start of the week, not quite the weekend either.

The cows don’t care what day it is—
they still need checked.
The horses are still waiting at the gate like they haven’t been fed in years.
And somehow, the to-do list keeps growing faster than we can cross things off.

We might be a little tired, a little dusty, and running on coffee and stubbornness…
but we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Because out here, even the long days come with good views, good stock, and a whole lot of gratitude.

Just another Thursday doing what we love.
