Who we are

At the National Shooting Horse Association, everything we do begins and ends with one simple truth: we are here for the horse.

Mounted shooting is a sport built on speed, precision, and partnership — but at the heart of every great run stands an incredible equine athlete. Our mission is to honor these horses by creating a comprehensive educational, training, and performance-tracking platform that serves the mounted shooting community and preserves each horse's legacy over time.

By spotlighting their achievements, we support breeders, owners, trainers, and riders who dedicate themselves to developing these remarkable partners. Every statistic tells a story — of trust, grit, and countless hours in the saddle — and we believe those stories deserve to be preserved and celebrated.

Through our Shooting Horse Clinics, we provide educational services and training programs designed to refine rider skills, expose horses to competition-like environments, and elevate the level of sportsmanship in our community. Our clinics blend expert instruction with supervised practice runs that simulate real-world competition conditions purely for educational purposes, fostering growth for both horse and rider while advancing the standards of the sport.

Whether you are a competitor tracking your horse's progress, a breeder evaluating bloodlines, or a fan cheering from the sidelines, we provide the data, education, and recognition that ensure these athletes receive the credit they’ve earned. Because at the end of the day, it’s not just about the buckle — it’s about the horse who carried you there.

We are here for the horse. Always.
