Some stallions start the season with a few quiet bookings. LBR Hangem is not one of them. He’s stepping into 2026 the way he’s stepped into every show pen of his career—confident, deliberate, and with the kind of presence you can’t ignore.

LBR Hangem, ridden by Kenny Platt for Solo Select Horses, dominated the second go of the Open Classic Challenge at the 2025 NCHA Summer Spectacular. He marked a 222, the highest score of the round, pushing his composite to 442 to lead the field of 190 entries. If he advances, he’ll head to the finals on Friday before appearing again on Saturday at The American Performance Horseman, where he’ll represent Team Orange with Kenny Platt.

LBR Hangem wins $21,304 at Breeders Invitational, taking home the title of the BI 5/6 Year Old Open Classic Reserve Champion with a 224.5

Outcross of the Future, LBR Hangem has booked full for 2025.
