Instructor Compass

Helping Riders Become Teachers — the NaSHA Way

At NaSHA, we believe great teachers make great horsemen.
Our mission isn’t to control or standardize instruction — it’s to equip and support those who want to share what they’ve learned.

If you’ve ever thought about hosting a clinic, teaching private lessons, or mentoring new riders, NaSHA’s Instructor Compass is built for you.
It’s a place where experienced riders can learn how to teach effectively, safely, and confidently — using proven frameworks that have already helped countless horses and riders find success in the shooting horse discipline.

Our goal is simple: turn experience into education, and passion into progress.

Through our Instructor Compass, you’ll gain access to:

• Proven clinic formats and outlines that make hosting and teaching easy.

• Horsemanship-based methods that emphasize communication, confidence, and control.

• Support and visibility within the growing NaSHA community of riders and instructors.

• Optional tools for event organization, registration, and promotion — when you’re ready to take that next step.

This isn’t about certification. It’s about building a confident new generation of educators who can keep this sport growing the right way — with integrity, skill, and a horse-first mindset.
