Third Edge

Third Edge is a 2018 red roan stallion with Lifetime Earnings of $342,528. Standing 14.2 hands and testing as 7-panel N/N, Third Edge combines balance, bone, and athleticism with a commanding presence. A good neck, deep walk, and correctness characterize his structure. Along with his keen intelligence and trainability, these traits make him an exemplary performance horse stallion.

Third Edge boasts an impressive show record, including being an NCHA Hall of Fame inductee and NCHA Horse of the Year. His achievements include: being a finalist in the NCHA Open Futurity in 2021; earning the title of 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 3rd 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.

Sired by Metallic Rebel, Third Edge is out of Lil Rattler, a daughter of Dual Rey and a producer of over $1.6 million. As an NCHA Horse of the Year and Hall of Fame inductee, he earned $342,528 in the show ring under the guidance of Wesley Galyean. Known for his consistency, grit, and signature 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 show horse but also position him as a promising sire capable of influencing future generations. Metallic Rebel, the sire of Third Edge, has an impressive record with Lifetime Earnings of $438,315, is an NCHA Hall of Fame member, NCHA Horse Of The Year, and NCHA Open World Champion Stallion, as well as being ranked as the #2 Leading Reined Cow Horse Sire and #3 Leading Sire in the NCHA. Third Edge’s dam is a Dual Rey daughter, Lil Rattler, who has produced more than $1.6 million.

Third Edge's breeding career has already started on a historic note. His oldest foals were born in 2024, and they 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. Bred to some of the industry’s outstanding mares, Third Edge is poised to become a transformative sire, with his legacy likely to be measured by the champions that follow.
