Helping People Ride a Better Horse
in an Affordable, Family Atmosphere

Stock Horse of Texas (SHTX) is the oldest versatile stock horse association in the country, a true original that continues to innovate.

Stock Horse of Texas 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. Clinics focus on creating a ‘broke,’ functional stock horse that is a pleasure to ride. Shows offer competitions in the four basic stock horse disciplines: Reining, Working Cow Horse, Stock Horse Pleasure and Stock Horse Trail, with some shows offering Ranch Cutting.

There is a division for every skill level, so riders can show with others of similar ability and experience.

Stock Horse of Texas is proud of alliance partnerships with AQHA, APHA, NRCHA, National Ranch and Stock Horse Alliance and CoWN Stock Horse.

Promoting the Versatile Stock Horse Since 1996

Founded in the mid-1990s by Texas horsemen Jack Brainard and Roger Blackmon, the Stock Horse of Texas Association (SHTX) was created to promote the versatile, all-around stock horse while offering affordable, enjoyable clinics and competitions for riders of all backgrounds. Built around four key disciplines—Reining, Pleasure, Trail, and Working Cow Horse—SHTX focuses on developing well-rounded horses and skilled riders in a welcoming, inclusive environment.

Open to all breeds and experience levels, SHTX continues its mission of education, versatility, and accessibility through year-round clinics and shows across Texas.
