Rope Horse Breeder's Guide Stallion: Metallic Payday

INCENTIVES: Royal Crown Roping, Riata, Gold Buckle

A winner at every level, Metallic Payday exemplifies the same level of excellence as his owner, PRCA world champion and record-setter Kaleb Driggers. Metallic Payday highlights Driggers’ breeding program with more than $160,000 won at all levels of competition while also passing his exceptionalism on to his offspring.

A son of the legendary Metallic Cat, Metallic Payday has won from his first futurities to the highest levels of ProRodeo with accolades that include a Reserve World Championship at the 2023 ARHFA, a top-four finish at the Bob Feist Invitational and a qualification to the PRCA’s Governor’s Cup.

“Every stage we have put him on he has succeeded, and his colts are as good as or better than him,” Driggers said. “He throws a lot of size and substance; people are always bragging on the mass of his colts.”

With Metallic Payday’s first crop just coming of age, his influence is already impressive. His first foal to compete, KND Metallic Samuel, has amassed better than $40,000 after winning two of five futurities entered in 2025.

At just 8 years old, Metallic Payday will only grow his own earnings while his progeny display the same kind, willing attitude and grit that have made him a winner.
