The mission of the National Snaffle Bit Association, Inc. is to grow the show horse community through various equine programs and events where every activity benefits horses, breeders, owners and exhibitors alike. Without the continued support and dedication of members to this organization, we would be unable to complete our mission. We thank you for your support.

Million Dollar Man

When Rusty Green of Pilot Point, Texas was named reserve champion in the Equine Chronicle Congress Masters Two-Year-Old Snaffle Bit Western Pleasure aboard Whatilikeaboutyou, his $5,880 earnings for Capital Quarter Horses LLC pushed him into a career milestone that only one other rider has achieved – winning one million dollars in lifetime earnings in National Snaffle Bit Association sanctioned events.

Rusty joins Gil Galyean as the only other rider to achieve this career mark. Read more about the newest million dollar rider here.

Cowboys Turn Out to Honor Veterans

Cowboys and cowgirls showed up in big numbers to honor our veterans for the Heroes on Horses program held during the All American Quarter Horse Congress.

The NSBA Foundation sponsored the event where veterans were given a chance to ride with several NSBA professional horsemen and women as their coaches; were treated to a brunch in the VIP lounge and were honored with a mounted color guard before they competed for the coveted Congress Bronze. In its inaugural year at the Congress, both supported and independent classes were offered.
