“KC” is a 2022 AQHA gray gelding with a powerful pedigree and a good, usable mind to match. This is a big, athletic young gelding that’s built to go and bred for speed, yet remains sensible and straightforward to ride.

He’s sired by KC Blew By You, a son of Streakin Sixes, bringing in the proven Streakin Six / Blushing Bug speed lines that have dominated the barrel and performance world for decades. On the bottom side, he’s out of KC Royalbound 14, a daughter of Mercy Me (track earner) by the famous Orientate, a Grade 1–winning racehorse and leading sire. This gelding is stacked with real race blood on both sides — the kind that consistently produces run, grit, and drive.

Under saddle, he rides inside or outside of the arena and is coming along correctly. He has his leads, moves forward willingly, and is learning to shape up, slow down, and move off his body — ribs, shoulders, and hips. He was started with a soft feel and a correct foundation and shows an honest try every ride. No buck, no rear, no nonsense. He’s the same horse every day and takes new situations in stride. This guy is gentle enough to have already ponied kids on his back, but willing enough to do a job with some vigor when asked.

If you’re looking for one with plenty of run, this guy has it. He has the size, stride, and athleticism to make a serious barrel or pole prospect, and he’s stout enough that someone could also point him toward the roping pen with time. He’s still young, sound, and ready to be brought along in a program that wants speed with a brain.

This is a nice opportunity to get a well-started, well-bred gelding with proven bloodlines and the right kind of mindset to go on and excel.
