Welcome To
the National Stock Horse Association
Horse industry friends - Read up on what's happening and take action. UNFORTUNATELY, many of our horse industry organizations are being led astray by animal rights-influenced lobbyists. YOU CANNOT RELY ON THEM TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ON OUR BEHALF.
We must submit comments on the HPA amended rules by May 22nd, AND we must contact our FEDERAL representatives and let them know we are AGAINST the PAST Act. These are two different issues that have the potential for THE SAME OUTCOME - EGREGIOUS OVERREACH AND INSPECTIONS AT EVERY HORSE SHOW, SALE, AND EXHIBITION.
HPA AMENDED RULES: The Amended Rules are animal rights groups' attempt to push inspections onto every breed - this will be done through RULEMAKING BY UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS - they are attempting to AMEND RULES in EXISTING LAW. We have an opportunity NOW to object.
The PAST ACT: Is a FEDERAL LAW sponsored by lawmakers that will make inspections at every horse show, sale, and exhibition, as well as additional egregious overreach violating our private property rights. This is SPONSORED LEGISLATION BY UNIFORMED OR ANIMAL RIGHTS INFLUENCED LAWMAKERS. In this case, you MUST CONTACT YOUR REPRESENTATIVE and let them know your objections. In the case of the PAST Act, your lawmakers have the ability to stop it from becoming federal law.
If you do not take action and speak up, you will only have yourself to blame.
The National Stock Horse Association was founded in 2004 with the goal of producing premier stock horse competitions, while promoting our sport, our western heritage and the rich history of the stock horse and its origination from the Spanish Vaquero tradition. The NSHA will strive to grow the stock horse industry through the production of added programs, events and competitions. Programs such as the newly developing year-end awards program will benefit all levels of riders from professional and non-professionals to beginning youth and adults. This awards program will allow members to earn more points towards year-end awards through other local, regional and national clubs and organizations. To increase participation in these competitions, the NSHA will continue to increase the pay-out purses for our events. The NSHA Board of Directors is dedicated to continually pursuing new ways to increase exposure for our industry and our sponsors.
