Heavy Metal Faith

Talk about cutting horse bloodlines.

Select Genes is proud to welcome a mare the caliber of Heavy Metal Faith to its 2026 lineup—a proven performer with earnings nearing the $100,000 mark in the cutting pen across multiple divisions throughout her career.

“We chose to add Faith to the Select Genes lineup because of Solo’s strong presence in the marketplace. Partnering with Select Genes gives us access to industry-leading marketing capabilities and some of the most recognized studs in the business, all while offering a seamless process that makes breeding Faith easy and efficient.”

Trained and shown by Tommy Marvin, she built an impressive amateur résumé under his guidance, highlighted by titles such as the 2020 NCHA Amateur Derby Reserve Championship, the 2020 AQHA Reserve World Championship in Amateur Cutting, and the 2022 Breeders Invitational Amateur Classic Championship, among many other consistent show pen performances.

Heavy Metal Faith is not your conventional “Cat mare.” She is built uphill with good size, strong bone, and a powerful physical presence. In the show pen, she locks in onto a cow with intensity and focus. Quick-footed and highly reactive, she showcases the kind of instinctive cow sense that defines true cutting horse ability.

When it comes to pedigree strength, Heavy Metal Faith offers depth that is difficult to match. She is sired by Metallic Cat—the $80+ million sire and $637,711 earner—and out of Faith In Your Mate, a nearly MILLION dollar producer and daughter of a stallion responsible for more than $7 million in cutting progeny earnings. The strength of this maternal line is further reinforced by Faith In Your Mate’s leading money earner, a gelding by High Brow Cat who has himself amassed more than $560,000 in earnings along with 138 AQHA cutting points.

Her legacy as a producer is already taking shape. After welcoming a Reyzin The Cash filly in 2023, her 2025 foal crop features elite pairings with Hottish and Once In A Blu Boon—two powerhouse sires whose influence dominates the Western performance industry.

Heavy Metal Faith represents the kind of Metallic Cat daughter breeders actively seek: one that combines proven show pen credentials, elite maternal strength, and lasting commercial appeal. Whether the goal is to raise a Futurity prospect or secure long-term resale value, she offers a genetic foundation designed to deliver in both the arena and the marketplace.
