Trainers’ Challenge among highlights at Everything Equine show
LLOYDMINSTER, Sask. — Lloydminster Agricultural Exhibition Association plans to give a few area equine trainers an opportunity to show their skills as part of the Everything Equine on the Border event coming up April 8 to 10.
Agriculture manager Shelly Ann Dodgson said people are welcome to apply to have their young fillies and geldings selected for three days of training sessions. She noted the trainers will need to be accomplished in the art of breaking a horse to make it manageable.
“You have to be very good at it to know what you are doing,” she said. “[The horses] are not going to be ready to go into the show-ring by any means. But for the owners, when they get them back they are going to have a horse that is ready to go further in training.”
Organizers are in search of three unbroken geldings or fillies to match up with the trainers for the challenge. People are invited to contact Lloyd Ex to apply to have their young horses selected for the event.
