Congratulations to Steve Hart and The Metallist Q-92678 for being crowned the champion of the 2024 Dalgety Stallion Shootout !
After two phenomenal rounds of Campdrafting , Steve and The Metallist Q-92678 delivered a fantastic cutout on the night to secure the win ! Steve ' s long-time support and sponsorship of the Classic have truly paid off , making this win even more special .
His sire , Metallic Cat Q-72828 is the beautiful red roan stallion by High Brow Cat USA-2706274 out of Chers Shadow USA-3684197 who continues to set new records as a sire of champions . He recently acquired the Equi-Stat $ 30 million Leading Sire status and is the youngest stallion in the history of the industry to pass the milestone in offspring earnings .
The Metallist ’ s dam , Moms Stylish Pepto 4305645 , is a blue roan mare by Peptoboonsmal Q-72331 . She was the top producing dam for 2019 , placing first on the Equi-Stat all industry cutting , reining and reined cow horse dam chart . This statistic alone speaks volumes for her contribution to the performance horse competition ranks .
Steve said it is a fantastic achievement against such a high caliber competition of horses this year . This win marks a monumental moment for Steve and Toni Hart ' s stallion The Metallist Q-92678 and his biggest win to date .
