Third Edge

Third Edge is a 2018 red roan stallion standing at 14.2 hands tall and testing as 7-panel N/N. He combines balance, strong bone, and athleticism with a commanding presence. A strong neck, a deep walk, and correct conformation characterize his impressive structure. Along with his keen intelligence and trainability, these traits make him an outstanding Performance Horse Stallion.

Third Edge has an impressive show record, including his induction into the NCHA Hall of Fame and his NCHA Horse of the Year title. Notable achievements in his career include being a finalist in the NCHA Open Futurity in 2021, winning NCHA Horse of the Year in 2022, and becoming co-champion at the NCHA Open Super Stakes Derby in the same year. In 2023, he placed third at the American Performance Horseman Cutting Classic, became the Cattlemen's Open Classic Champion, and was a finalist in both the NCHA Super Stakes Open Classic and the Ike Open Classic. As an NCHA Horse of the Year and Hall of Fame inductee, Third Edge holds lifetime earnings of $342,528 in the show ring under the guidance of Wesley Galyean.

He is the son of Lil Rattler, a daughter of Dual Rey, who has produced over $1.6 million in earnings. Third Edge's sire, Metallic Rebel, also has an impressive record with lifetime earnings of $438,315. Metallic Rebel is an NCHA Hall of Fame member, has been named NCHA Horse of the Year, and is an NCHA Open World Champion Stallion. He is ranked as the #2 Leading Reined Cow Horse Sire and #3 Leading Sire in the NCHA.

Known for his consistency, grit, and distinctive appeal, Third Edge has established himself as one of the sport's most reliable and celebrated athletes. As Galyean described him, "He is like a train going down the tracks—easy, steady, and unstoppable." These attributes not only distinguish him as a superior Performance Horse but also position him as a promising sire capable of influencing future generations. Third Edge's breeding career has already started on a remarkable note. His oldest foals were born in 2024 and made headlines at the Teton Ridge Sale in September 2025, particularly a blue roan yearling filly out of Twice In Santiago, which commanded a price of $450,000. He also set a record for the highest-selling embryo ever offered at public auction, fetching $450,000, and his progeny averaged $132,000 across the auction. Third Edge is enrolled in the BVSS Super Stallion Incentive, NCHA Super Stakes, Breeders Invitational, PCCHA, and the NRCHA Stallion Stakes. He is tested 5-Panel N/N. Bred to some of the industry's finest mares, Third Edge is poised to become a transformative sire, with his legacy likely to be measured by the champions that follow.
