The Tarleton State University Stock Horse Team is comprised of students dedicated to showing their horses in the collegiate divisions with the Stock Horse of Texas (SHTX), American Stock
Horse Association (ASHA) and National Reined Cow Horse Association (NRCHA). Shows consist of Ranch Pleasure, Ranch Trail, Ranch Reining, and Working Cow Horse classes in the
Novice, Intermediate, Limited Non-Pro, and Non-Pro divisions.
Team members are provided the opportunity to represent Tarleton State University in Ranch and Stock Horse competitions. Members of the team receive tremendous opportunities to improve their horsemanship skills, meet influential people in the equine industry, and learn more about
