Stock Horse Shows
Information
Cowhorse

A model western stock horse must also be a cowhorse and this class has been designed to demonstrate and measure the horse’s ability to do cow work. Holding the saddle horn is permitted in this class. There will be a  1-3 minute time limit per horse to perform the entire work beginning when the cow is turned into the arena.
Trail

The trail class, as the name implies, tests the horse’s ability to cope with many situations encountered in everyday riding. The horse is ridden through a pattern of obstacles which should nearly approximate those found during the course of everyday work. The horse is judged on the cleanliness, neatness and promptness with which the obstacles are negotiated, ability to negotiate obstacles correctly and attitude and mannerisms exhibited by the horse while negotiating the course. Emphasis on judging should be on identifying the wellbroke, responsive, well-mannered horse which can correctly negotiate the course.
Reining

This class measures the ability of the western stock horse to perform many basic handling maneuvers. The horse should guide willingly without undue resistance.
Pleasure

This class serves to measure the ability of the horse to be functional and a pleasure to ride while being used as a means of conveyance from one western stock horse task to another. This horse should be well broke, relaxed, quiet, soft and cadenced at all gaits.  The horse should be ridden on a relatively loose rein with light contact and without requiring undue restraint. Excessively long floppy reins will not be given extra credit. The horse should be responsive to the rider and make all required transitions smoothly, timely and correctly. The horse should be soft in the bridle and yield to contact.  Horses shall be shown individually at the walk, trot and lope in both directions. The walk, trot and lope with be extended in one direction only.
Show Clinics

The day prior to each Stock Horse Show, there will be a full day clinic with a special guest clinician/s.  Clinicians will discuss their fields of expertise as they pertain to Stock Horse Competition.   Our clinicians are top performers/trainers in their particular disciplines and are always chosen for their expertise, professionalism and abilities.
