New equine event debuts in Saskatoon

The Equine Experience comes to Prairieland Ag Centre in Saskatoon this weekend 

The event, May 2 and 3, is a first of its kind event that brings together hands on horse encounters, live demonstrations, youth programming, and practical learning. 

Prairieland Agriculture Manager Leigh Ann Hurlburt said it’s designed to spark curiosity, build confidence, and open doors into the horse world. She said the Equine Experience is especially aimed at families, youth, and urban audiences who may not have regular access to horses but have always been fascinated by them.  

“This is a brand‑new experience for our city,” Hurlburt said. “It’s about creating moments, especially for kids, where learning feels exciting, horses feel approachable, and a new passion can begin.”
