KISS KISS BANG BANG | 5 YEAR-OLD SADDLEBRED | MAGNOLIA, TX
Tater, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, is a Saddlebred Gelding. His sire is Zagreb who is by Theatrical. His dam is Katonah Lady who is by Montelimar. He was bred in Evermore Farm in Simpsonville, KY. Tater lives and trains at Lone Star Saddlebreds.
Tater is a gorgeous liver chestnut horse with white markings on his face that give him a distinctive look. His warm, friendly personality makes him a favorite among his human friends, and he loves nothing more than getting attention and affection from those around him.
One of Tater’s most unique characteristics is what he does after he receives a treat. He sticks his tongue out, almost as if he’s savoring the delicious flavor of the treat and thanking his human friend for it. It’s a charming habit that endears him even more to those who know him.
Stephanie, Tater’s owner, found him while on a trip to Kentucky to try out horses. She had been searching for the perfect equine companion for a while and had her heart set on finding a horse with a warm personality and a playful nature. When she saw Tater, she knew he was the one. Out of all the horses she had tested, he stood out with his friendly demeanor and unique habits. Stephanie couldn’t resist his charms and decided to take him home with her. Since then, Tater and Stephanie have formed an unbreakable bond that’s only grown stronger with each passing day.
Tater has a few favorite treats that he can’t resist. One of his all-time favorites is peppermints. As soon as he catches the scent of these sweet and refreshing treats, he becomes eager and excited, and his eyes light up with anticipation. The moment he gets his teeth on one, he chews it slowly, savoring every bit of the minty goodness. Another treat that Tater loves is ice cubes. He enjoys crunching on these frozen delights, especially on hot summer days. The coolness of the ice cubes provides a refreshing sensation, and Tater seems to enjoy the crunching sound as well.
Tater has accomplished some impressive feats that make his owner and fans proud. This year, Tater and his team managed to clinch first place at the prestigious Big D horse competition, showcasing Tater’s incredible skills and the hard work put in by his rider and trainer. The achievement was a testament to Tater’s talent and dedication, and it was a moment of great pride for everyone involved.
But that’s not all! Tater also proved himself at the Pin Oak horse competition, where he earned the reserve championship title. This was a remarkable accomplishment, considering the high level of competition at Pin Oak. Tater’s performance was a testament to his agility, speed, and excellent training.
Stephanie’s love for horse riding started when she was just 9 years old, six years ago. At first, she started by leasing a horse for two years, immersing herself in the joy of horseback riding. Her passion for these magnificent creatures grew with each passing day, and it wasn’t long before Stephanie’s parents bought her first horse, Silver, and Fabulous, also known as Mac.
Stephanie and Mac quickly developed a strong bond, and she enjoyed spending time with him, grooming him, and practicing their riding skills together. Last year, Stephanie’s parents surprised her by buying another horse, a five-gaited horse with a charming personality. Stephanie plans to keep this new horse for a while, and she’s excited to see what they can accomplish together.
Stephanie’s journey into horse riding is a testament to her passion and dedication. She’s come a long way since her first days of horseback riding, and her love for these animals has only grown stronger. She’s grateful for the opportunities and support that she’s had along the way, and she looks forward to a bright future filled with more wonderful experiences with horses.
Stephanie has many fond memories with Tater, but one of her favorites is when they participated in a horse show together. Tater, or Kiss Kiss Bang Bang as he is affectionately known, was as sweet and friendly as ever, and Stephanie felt a special connection with him. As they competed together, Stephanie could feel Tater’s excitement and enthusiasm, and it was clear that he was giving his very best effort.
After the competition, Stephanie spent some time with Tater, grooming him and treating him to his favorite treats. It was a peaceful moment, and Stephanie felt grateful for the bond that they had formed. Tater’s sweet nature and playful habits made him stand out from the other horses, and Stephanie couldn’t help but smile whenever she was with him.
