As of January 8, LBR Hangem’s books are officially closed for the 2026 breeding season. After booking full in 2025, “Shotty” quickly drew the attention of top breeders nationwide, cementing his place as one of the most in-demand young stallions in the cutting horse industry.

From embryos to turnkey show horses, passing through foals, yearlings, 2-year-olds, 3-year-olds, and proven broodmares, it was one of the most diverse and successful sales the program has ever hosted. Over two days, Solo Select once again demonstrated what its growth looks like in real time—and how wide its reach in the equine industry has become.

Todd Carpenter joins Don Ham and Solo Select Horses as part of the ownership team behind the standout, $309,420-earning stallion LBR Hangem—forging an alliance between three programs built on a super-charged mix of experience, mare power and operational excellence.

LBR Hangem and Kenny Platt have punched their ticket to the finals at the 2025 Idaho Futurity & Aged Event. Scoring a 223 in the second go-round, the duo topped the 5/6 Year Old Open aggregate results and secured their place in tomorrow’s finals.

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.
