Shay Martin grew up on his grandpa’s ranch. Horses and cows have always been his passion. But he didn’t start cutting until 2016, when his mother introduced him to the sport.

“The first time I felt my horse hook onto the cattle, I was hooked ever since then,” he said.

He bought two young horses that he hopes to show and breed with. He competes in the Western Nebraska Cutters club (WNC) in Nebraska and gets help from local trainers as well as Kenny Platt in Colorado when he can make the trip.

August 10th, 2016 by Simone Cobb

It was an ecstatic Kenny Platt who brought the house down when he took out the Open Derby Championship at the 2016 NCHA Summer Spectacular.

Kenny stole the show on Moms Stylish Player by marking a 228, some 5 points ahead of the field.

However, he had a nerve wracking wait before results became official after scoring a 226 with a review.

Moms Stylish Player is by Lizzys Gotta Player out of Moms Stylish Babe and owned by Robert Tregemba of Castle Rock, Co.

Kenny, who also won the Open Super Stakes Derby on the same horse, told Simone Cobb it was the greatest ride of his life!

Kenny won a massive $61,000 check for the win, taking his earnings to $1.12 million.  Meanwhile Moms Stylish Player has won upwards of $200,000.

John Mitchell won his second Reserve Championship of the event scoring a 223 on MK Catts Kitty and Tag Rice took out third aboard Cutting Commander.
