Saskatoon’s Equine Expo Trade Show is on until Sunday evening, showcasing horsemanship, equine health, and education.
“It provides an opportunity for horse owners, regardless of the discipline that they are a part of, regardless of the breed of horse that they have chosen, to come together under one roof and share amazing talent and expertise,” said Joe Ribinski, voice and announcer for the equine expo.
Ribinski said the expo is a great place to learn about the horse industry or network with others.
One of the most exciting events of the expo is the trainer challenge, in which horse trainers have four days to make as much progress as they can with an unhandled filly.
“We have three trainers who are each taking a filly. They are working with her for an hour to bring her along to see who progresses the most for riding,” said Leighann Hurlurt, agriculture manager at Prairieland Park.
