The Louisiana Stock Horse Association was started by fellow horsemen to offer affordable, fun, and standardized ranch horse riding clinics and competitions. Rider knowledge and skills are taught to maximize horse trainability, performance and safety. The overall goal is to create better horses and horsemen.

Clinics - Offer riders affordable, fun and standardized riding clinics in various locations in the state, where stock horse maneuvers are identified and rider knowledge and skills are taught (to maximize horses trainability, performance and safety), so that riders can develop nicer horses, improve their on-the-job performance, and enhance their riding pleasure.

Competitions/Evaluations - Offer riders standardized, practical, low-key, low-cost measurement tests, where horse performance is measured against a clearly defined standard, and rider skills are assessed against a proficiency standard, so that riders can make maximal rider skill progress in the most time efficient manner.

Promotion and Sales - Support sales companies and offer breeders and ranchers additional private treaty and public auction opportunities, where prospects and trained horses (at various levels) can be more objectively evaluated, promoted and sold with both seller and buyer satisfaction of highest priority.

Organization Services - Offer associations, organizations, stock shows, sales companies and other groups and/or individuals, serving stock horse clientele, assistance running educational programs and competitions/evaluations, plus provide m for routine discussions on industry strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats, so that these groups can better serve clientele.

Positive Atmosphere - Provide all programs, activities and projects in the atmosphere of honesty, openness, personal growth and politeness toward fellow horseman, where horses are always respected, and where true western tradition is genuinely honored.
