The foundation of our breeding program...
Explore each stallion’s pedigree, learn more about his bloodlines, and see some of the foals he has sired throughout the years
'Tuf' aka Guys Gotta B Tough
Guys Gotta B Tough brings together two exceptional performance-horse bloodlines. He is sired by Frenchmans Guy, a legendary all-around performance sire and one of the leading barrel-horse sires of his generation, with progeny earnings exceeding $15 million and more than 1,100 money-earners
On the bottom side, Guys Gotta B Tough is out of a daughter of Royal Shake Em SI 104, a multiple Grade 1-winning racehorse who earned $257,009 and went on to become a proven sire of race, barrel, roping, and cow horses. Royal Shake Em was by Royal Quick Dash SI 101, himself a million-dollar race earner and son of legendary sire First Down Dash
This is a pedigree built on speed, athletic ability, versatility, and proven performance genetics — a combination that makes Guys Gotta B Tough an exciting part of the Metcalfe breeding program

'Sterling' aka Mr Illuminator Dash
Sterling had been started in training and hauled as a three-year-old, showing his natural athletic ability and exceptional disposition from the beginning.
Always a true gentleman, our original intention was to continue his training and development. However, following the loss of three of our stallions in 2013, Sterling stepped into an important role in our program and became a full-time breeding stallion in the spring of 2014.
He has remained an important part of our breeding program ever since
Sancho Red Buck
Sancho carries a pedigree steeped in some of the most proven Two Eyed Jack and Mr Baron Red performance genetics.
An own son of Two Eyed Red Buck, Sancho comes from a sire who earned 279 AQHA points, an AQHA Championship, Superior Heading and Superior Heeling, while his maternal side brings in Mr Baron Red, the 1983 AQHA World Show Super Horse and a proven champion in heading, heeling and calf roping.
Mr Baron Red appears twice in Sancho’s pedigree, giving him a strong concentration of proven performance and cow-horse genetics
