Metallic Rebel earned $438,315 himself in the cutting pen as the 2017 NCHA Open Horse of the Year and an NCHA World Champion before siring earners of $16.7 million and rising (quickly).
“Rebel” is one of the cutting and cow horse industry’s most in-demand sires, so not many team ropers have been able to get their hands on them—yet. But some of the best have, including NFR Average Champion Cody Snow, ARHFA World Champion and Leading Rider Joseph Harrison and three-time NFR Heeler and ARHFA World Champion Dakota Kirchenschlager.
“They’re put together exactly how I want my rope horses built,” Kirchenschlager said. “They’ve been good since day one.”
NFR Heeler and co-founder of X Performance Horses Hunter Koch is showing an entire barn full of Metallic Rebels with business partner J.D. McGuire.
“Our Rebels have blown us away,” Koch said. “The amount of physicality and talent, backed with discipline, focus and capability to exceed expectations every single day is amazing. They have truly been a blessing to X Performance Horses, and Metallic Rebel has moved his way to one of my most favorite sires.”
“They’re a cowboy’s dream and a corriente’s nightmare,” McGuire added.
