The Spotted Saddle Horse Breeders' and Exhibitors' Association (SSHBEA) is an equestrian organization for the registration and promotion of the Spotted Saddle Horse breed.
The SSHBEA was founded in 1984, for the purpose of registering pinto horses with smooth ambling gaits.
[2][3] The SSHBEA sanctions multiple shows throughout the year.
[4] Horses shown in rail classes are exhibited at three gaits and must be shod with one of three types of horseshoe, which vary in weight and thickness.
[4] The sport horse division includes speed classes such as barrel racing, pole bending and jumping; cattle working classes such as team penning and team sorting; and trail obstacle event classes.
