Fort Worth, TX –“And that horse—man, the speed, the strength, the control—just incredible,” said NCHA commentator Monty Buntin, moments after LBR Hangem’s electric run in the finals at the 2025 NCHA Super Stakes. “Watch him stop. It’s like he disappears under himself. Just beautiful.”
That reaction captured what everyone in the coliseum felt as Shotty, ridden by Kenny Platt, put on a show. With a blazing-fast, gritty, and ultra-intelligent performance, LBR Hangem earned Co-Reserve Champion honors and a combined $47,000 check, bringing his lifetime earnings to $167,000.
“The finish? All heart,” Buntin continued. “This horse is a true athlete. He’s intelligent, gritty, and he knows his job. At 13 seconds left, he still had a cow with that much strength trapped up—it’s rare to see. That’s an amazing athlete right there.”
This run was the culmination of what has already been a standout year for LBR Hangem. From the moment he hit the 2-Year-Old Sale at the Western Bloodstock Futurity, it was clear he was special. Fast-forward to today, and he’s not just living up to expectations—he’s redefining them.
From big scores in the go-rounds to a career-defining moment in the finals, LBR Hangem continues to prove he’s not just a show horse—he’s a game-changer.
