Nuggett Shines Again at the CRCA Mid-America Show

Is there anything this horse can’t do? Nuggett continues to prove himself as one of the most exciting young cow horses in the show pen, and his latest outing at the CRCA Mid-America Show in Wyoming was no exception. Piloted by trainer Kyle Trahern, this dynamic duo delivered another round of consistent, high-quality performances, further cementing Nuggett’s reputation as one to watch.

Another Strong Performance in Wyoming

The partnership between Nuggett and Kyle has been nothing short of remarkable throughout the season. Their synergy in the show pen is evident. At every show, Nuggett showcases not only his talent but also his willingness and trainability, the qualities that define great horses. The Mid-America Show brought tough competition, but Nuggett and Kyle rose to the occasion once again. Their performances earned them multiple top placings across the Derby and Hackamore classes, adding more than $2,500 to Nuggett’s lifetime earnings.

Looking Toward the Future

Nuggett is just getting started. With each outing, he continues to gain confidence and sharpen his skills, and all signs point to an even brighter future ahead. Together, we are showing what it means to build a program on horses that have both talent and longevity. The entire team at KK Performance Horses couldn’t be prouder of Nuggett’s success so far. This is a stallion who represents the values we strive for in our program: great minds, solid conformation, strong genetics, and the heart to win.

The next big stop on the calendar is Fort Worth during the Snaffle Bit Futurity! We have some cool KK horses making their debut this year, can’t wait!
