Howie is a sharp, fancy colt with the pedigree — and presence — to go far in the performance pen. This is the kind of cross that blends proven reining excellence with cowhorse grit and versatility.
His sire, KT HotTimein Cowtown (“Tank”), is by KR Gun Powder and out of KT Cow Cuttin Hottie. KR Gun Powder is by the legendary Colonels Smoking Gun (“Gunner”) and out of A Bueno Poco Dunit. In just nine shows, KR Gun Powder captured the 2016 APHA Senior Reining World Championship and earned nearly $13,000 in NRHA competition — a testament to his talent and consistency.
Tank’s dam, KT Cow Cuttin Hottie, is by Cow Cuttin Colonel, a major force in the cowhorse world. His accomplishments include NRCHA Superior Cow Horse, AQHA Open and Amateur Performance ROM, 3rd at the 2006 NRCHA World Show (Non-Pro Hackamore), WRHA Non-Pro Derby Reserve Champion, and multiple NRCHA and AQHA accolades.
On the dam side, Howie is out of Educated Downndirty, a daughter of An Educated Guess, the highest point-earning son of Smart Chic Olena. An Educated Guess earned 385 reining points, over $20,000 LTE, and ranks among the all-time leading AQHA reining point earners, with multiple AQHA World Show placings and circuit championships.
His granddam, Plain Dark Chocolate (“Rudy”), is a daughter of Just Plain Colonel, earner of $52,676 and the NRCHA #6 All-Time Leading Sire. Just Plain Colonel consistently appeared on leading sire lists in reined cowhorse, cutting, and reining for over a decade. Rudy’s bottom side adds even more depth with Par Three and Doc N Willy — strong, time-tested performance lines.
With a pedigree stacked full of World Champions, leading sires, reining point earners, and cowhorse standouts, Howie is bred to stop hard, turn quick, and compete at a high level.
With credentials like this, he has the genetics to excel in reining, cowhorse, or wherever you choose to point him.
