I Have a person looking for a Limitless c**t. It would be for a doging horse prospect. If you have something available shoot us a message.

This c**t by Limitless is really making a doging horse how cool is this. This run was at the joiner NFR in Vegas.

Selling horses is truly an art, and it takes time. Many people seem to think that a horse gets listed for sale and sells immediately. While that might happen occasionally, it’s not the norm. On average, it takes time, effort, and patience to find the right buyer. Unfortunately, if a horse doesn’t sell within a week or two, some sellers start lowering the price or saying, “I have to sell this one quickly.”

Avoid doing this. Devaluing a horse by dropping the price too soon or sharing desperation in your ads can actually turn potential buyers away. Buyers willing to spend money on a horse want to feel like that horse is special. When you state things like "must sell due to XYZ" or continuously reduce the price, you risk making the horse seem undesirable or unworthy—even if that’s far from the truth.

Selling horses is a long-term game, and it’s important to be okay with having foals or prospects stick around for a while. For example, I’ve found that two-year-olds with 90 days of training sell particularly well in the fall. Yes, investing in training costs money, but it also increases the horse's value. Plus, it gives you valuable feedback about your breeding program. You learn whether the horse is trainable, shows athletic ability, and how the c**t starter feels about it. These insights are essential when evaluating your program’s success and ensuring you produce quality horses.

When pricing horses, avoid overpricing or drastically fluctuating prices. Take the time to determine what your horse is genuinely worth in the big picture and stick to it. Stay consistent. Buyers can lose trust in your program if you quote them one price and then change it later without justification. While it’s understandable to increase the price if additional training or value is added, unexplained price changes—whether up or down—can leave a bad impression. For example, if a buyer passes on a horse at a high price only to see it listed for much less later, they might feel frustrated and lose confidence in your program.

Be patient with inquiries, and don’t complain about “tire kickers.” Think of horse shopping like trying on shoes—just because someone asks questions doesn’t mean they’re ready to buy, and that’s okay. People inquire because the horse has sparked their curiosity. Whether or not they purchase, let them shop and ask questions. You’re selling something, and engaging with potential buyers is part of the process. Complaining about tire kickers could discourage serious buyers from even reaching out.

Remember, every interaction helps build your reputation, whether you sell many horses or just a few. Your honesty and integrity will ultimately determine the success of your program. Be upfront about everything—even if that means being almost too honest. Stand behind your horses, and if you don’t believe a horse is a good match for a buyer, let them know. It’s better for the buyer, the horse, and your program in the long run, even if it ruffles some feathers in the short term.

At the end of the day, you’re selling more than just a horse—you’re selling a dream. Keep the experience enjoyable for everyone involved, including yourself. Fall in love with the journey, because selling horses is as much about the process as it is about the destination.

Good Morning!

We are excited to announce that KL Limitless will be back in the breeding shed for 2025! After his injury last year, we were uncertain how things would progress, but we are thrilled to share that he is ready to make an impact once again.

KL Limitless is a proven outcross to today’s leading bloodlines. If you’ve been following the NFR, you’ve likely noticed the Stoli horses making waves—and KL Limitless offers that same winning potential.

One of the most remarkable qualities of KL Limitless is the exceptional disposition he passes on to his offspring. His foals are athletic yet user-friendly, with a level of trainability that allows them to excel in any discipline.

Breeding Details:

Stud Fee: $2,000

No chute fees

Affordable mare care

We understand that breeding can be costly, and we work hard to keep prices reasonable.

KL Limitless offspring are eligible for the 5-State Breeders Futurity, NEXUS, Future Fortunes, and the K&L Incentive. As part of our program, we will match any winnings up to $5,000 in any event, in any state!

Don’t miss the chance to breed to a truly exceptional stallion. Reserve your spot for 2025 today!

Congratulations to Sara Aaker and her family on the purchase of KL Victory Is Mine! This one makes me a little sad to see go, as I’ve really enjoyed him. Victor is headed for an exciting new career as a dressage horse prospect—how cool is that? Maybe we’ll even be paying out incentive money for dressage!

Victor was our last two-year-old we still had from that years foal crop. I remember when we first started our program, I read an article about Bow Hill. She talked about how everything she raised was for sale, and how she’d ride whatever didn’t sell because every horse was nice enough that she’d love to ride any of them. Then she said, sometimes, they all sell.

I remember thinking, That’s what I want my program to be like. Every horse should be so nice that it doesn’t matter which one I keep to ride. Now, looking back, I feel like we’ve reached that point, and let me just say—it feels pretty dang good.

Dear Facebook friends, I urge everyone to think carefully before posting comments. Just because you can type something doesn’t always mean you should. Recently, I came across two separate comments on different posts of ours, and it was clear that neither person had any real understanding of the situation they were commenting on. What made it worse was the unnecessary rudeness in their tone.

It’s disheartening to see how some people treat others on social media. The lack of kindness and basic respect is unacceptable. Social platforms should be a space for constructive discussions, not a breeding ground for negativity. The golden rule—'If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all'—is just as important online as it is in real life.

KL Gypsy Queen
2018 dapple gray registered Paint mare, standing 15.3 hands. Sired by Takin On Shawne and out of Paul's Poco Leo.

KL Gypsy Queen is a talented and versatile mare currently competing as a 2D/3D barrel horse. She is straightforward to run—just keep driving her forward, and she’ll carry you through a turn like you’re not even there. With more time and confidence, we believe she has the potential to move up to 1D, like her full siblings, who have proven themselves at the top level.

This mare is broke the way you want one to be. She has been used extensively on the ranch to move cattle and sort pairs, demonstrating her adaptability and solid work ethic. She is well-traveled, having been hauled all over, and she handles new environments with ease.

KL Gypsy Queen is an easy ride but not a deadhead. She can get a little on the muscle, but she’s easily talked back down and stays responsive. She’s a bit of a perfectionist, which is why she’s not yet fully opened up on the barrel pattern. With continued seasoning, she will only improve.

This is the third full sibling of this cross we’ve had the pleasure of riding, and her full brothers are both 1D performers. We have full confidence that KL Gypsy Queen has what it takes to follow in their footsteps.

Ride What You Like

I saw a post about the BFA sale and how some people are disappointed with the prices. As someone who also raises cattle, I can say this: welcome to the rollercoaster of selling livestock. It’s never predictable.

Lately, I’ve wrestled with a bit of guilt over my two young studs. Why? Because if you kick a rock, it feels like 10 studs will come crawling out. Yet here I am, proud of two c**ts sired by studs from our program, out of proven mares from our program. Not by big, flashy, well-known names, but by bloodlines I truly believe in.

Then I came across a post on Facebook that struck a chord: Ride what you like. And you know what? I love these two c**ts and their bloodlines.

KL The Kraken is by KL Limitless and out of Lightning Gee—he’s a full brother to my favorite mare. KL Deadly is by Takin On Shawne and out of Spending On A Star, the very dam of KL Limitless. This c**t excites me beyond words—he’s the perfect blend of everything I love about our program.

Should these two c**ts become studs? Maybe not. Or maybe they should. What I’ve realized is this: I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m not just a rider—I’m a breeder. I know these bloodlines inside and out. I know how they ride, how they feel, and how they cross.

So, no, I’m not weighed down by guilt anymore. Instead, I’m excited—excited to see what these c**ts and our little program will maybe one day produce.

Tracie Nehring sent us this cool video of her two year old at the trainers. He is helping another young one figure out how to be a good member of Society. We all so heard they have worked buffalo on him as well. This gorgeous roan KL Rich and ratchet is by KL Limitless out of a daghter of A Streak Of Fling.

Congratulations to Donna Jo Alexander and KL Gee Force, sired by Takin On Shawne and out of Lightning Gee (by Tres Seis), on an incredible start to their 2025 futurity season!

This talented duo made an impressive debut, pulling checks during their very first weekend of competition. It’s a bittersweet moment, as we lost Takin On Shawne two years ago, making these some of his last foals to compete in the barrel pen. But what a way to honor his legacy—they’re doing it in style!

It's been a minute since I put a cow/run bred horses on the pattern. I definitely forgot how different they are. This little one is going to need a lot of freeing up.

For a long time, we believed that the biggest factor in producing winning horses was genetics—finding proven mares with the right bloodlines to cross with stallions known for producing champions. You can invest heavily in the best breeding combinations, but ultimately, it all comes down to who ends up working with those horses. As breeders, we do everything in our power to produce winners, but if those horses don’t land in the right hands, the journey stops there.

So, to the 2025 futurity horses and riders, good luck! Thank you for giving these young horses a chance to shine and show their potential. Thank you for making our program shine.

Temo is a handful holy cow

Colt By KL Limitless out of a Captain Biankus daghter. Paid into FF, 5-State eligible and NEXUS.

This is not a confident colt I got her back from the Colt starter he did a great job. I have been putting extra time into her just to build her trust.

As breeders, we have high hopes and dreams for every foal by our stallions, whether we raise them ourselves or someone else does. The fun part of this journey is receiving a text message with a video of a horse by KL Limitless winning at a rodeo in steer wrestling. Do I know anything about steer wrestling? No. But did I watch that video ten times this morning while drinking my coffee? Absolutely. We wanted to breed horses that would go out and win for people, and that's exactly what this gelding is doing. How cool is that?

It's that time of year when we start seeing next year's futuristic hopefuls start dipping their toes in the waters with exhibitions. This colt is one I was really excited to see how he turned out. By Takin On Shawne out of Lightning Gee by Tres Seis. When we did this cross, we knew there would be a chance of something special, and it looks like we were right. Donna put the work in with this guy, and it looks like it will pan out for her. 2025 is going to be fun for these two.

KL Trickster is getting it figured out with his amazing jockey and owner Billie Schaff. He is officially running .5 off of Billie's good horse she cleans house with. It won't take these two too long to rake in that KL Incentive money. Kl Trickster is by Takin On Shawne our of OH So Honest by streaking La Jolla.
