SHTX offers something for everyone

When the Stock Horse of Texas folks come to Circle T, they put on one of the most spectator-friendly competitions of the year.

They offer four concurrent events – Working Cow Horse, Reining, Trail and Stock Horse Pleasure – so if reining is not your thing, you always have three other options.

Also, each event has divisions based on the rider’s or horse’s age or the rider’s experience, so whether you like to watch the youngsters or the professionals, there’s always something going on.
