Sho Boat Anchors Carpenter Farms’ Next Generation
TUSCALOOSA, AL, October 2025 –
There’s a difference between adding horsepower and changing trajectory.
Sho Boat marks that turning point.
With more than $250,000 in lifetime earnings, the six-year-old Metallic Rebel daughter out of the NCHA Open Futurity Champion producer Reycy Moon brings a deep black-type pedigree full of maternal power and a show record stacked with major wins and finals appearances at the toughest cuttings in the industry. Her dam now has nearly $1.3 million in earners — a maternal dynasty that includes Second Spot (LTE $449,607), Exs N Ohhs (LTE $211,648), and Mezmorize (LTE $105,585).
Now under the banner of Carpenter Farms, Sho Boat steps into a new role: one designed to shape the next generation.
She’ll join the Select Genes Program and be bred in 2026 to multiple stallions, including LBR Hangem, another key piece in Todd Carpenter’s fast-growing vision.
For Todd, this isn’t about adding another name to the roster. It’s about aligning genetics that define the future.
“I’m incredibly grateful to Gary Barker for trusting us with this special mare,” Todd said. “The foundation he built with Reycy Moon and her daughters is one of the best in the business, and it’s an honor to carry that forward. I’m also thankful to Lloyd Cox for allowing us to keep her in his program and continue showing her in the Open as a seven-year-old. It means a lot to have people like Gary and Lloyd supporting what we’re trying to build at Carpenter Farms.”
Sho Boat isn’t just joining the program — she’s helping set its direction. Read full press release here.
