Stock Horse of Texas (S.H.O.T.) Celebrating over 15 years “Helping People Ride a Better Horse” For more information about SHOT please visit www.stockhorsetexas.org.

DSRP is proud to host SHOT Events

The Stock Horse of Texas Association (SHOT) was created to promote and support the concept of the versatile stock horse. The strength in this concept lies in the skills developed by horse and rider in four disciplines: Reining, Pleasure, Trail, and Working Cow Horse. An all-around stock horse can handle a variety of situations with ease and athleticism, using a natural movement attitude.

The SHOT program is designed for riders of all experiences to learn and compete in an environment that is friendly, affordable and designed to fit all levels of riding. Show divisions include Youth, Novice, Limited Non Pro, Junior Horse, Non Pro, and Open. SHOT also offers incentives for collegiate teams and members. Clinics focus on creating a ‘broke’, functional stock horse that is a pleasure to ride. These clinics promote learning in a relaxed atmosphere that suits both beginner riders and advanced competitors. Premiere horse industry clinicians are regular teachers at clinics – an unmatched value to SHOT members.

SHOT is the oldest versatile stock horse association in the country – a true original that continues to innovate. Join us in promoting the concept of the all-around stock horse.

PLEASURE The pleasure pattern serves to measure the ability of the horse to be functional and a pleasure to ride. The horse should be well-broke, relaxed, quiet, soft of cadence at all gaits and be willing to transition from one western stock horse task to another.

TRAIL The trail class is designed to test the horse’s ability to cope with situations one would encounter while riding. The horse is ridden through a pattern of obstacles which simulates those found during the course of everyday ranch work.

COW WORK A model western stock horse must be a cow horse and the class has been designed to demonstrate and measure the horse’s ability to work a cow.

REINING A reining class measures the ability of the western stock horse to perform many basic handling maneuvers.

The Stock Horse of Texas (SHOT) is an association which was started by a state-wide planning group in the mid 1990’s and incorporated in 1998. Its purpose is education for western horse enthusiasts to ride and train a versatile western stock horse that can be ridden on the ranch, in the ring or down the road. SHOT’s goal is to teach rider knowledge and skills to maximize horse train-ability, performance and safety by offering affordable, fun and standardized western stock horse riding clinics and competitions.

This special Stand-Alone Central Texas SHOT Clinic is designed to introduce riders to the SHOT program and give them techniques and tips on how to improve their riding and their horses. There will be four different clinic components (Stock Horse Trail, Pleasure, Reining, and Working Cow Horse). Participants will work through each of these classes with SHOT Clinicians in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. This clinic will feature live cattle, trail obstacles, and review of basic and advanced maneuvers in reining, pleasure, cow work, and trail. Following the clinic, participants can put their skills to work with a fun schooling show that follows SHOT rules and format.

No prior SHOT experience is necessary - this clinic and schooling shows are designed to help riders of all levels get their horses more “broke” through direct individual feedback from stock horse experts.
