Chester Ehnisz

Chester works tirelessly keeping our Sask. Reining Horse Association shows running smoothly getting the showbills out to competitors, taking entries, posting classes, tabulating results.  You can find him at the show office from first thing in the morning to the last run of the day.  He's always organized and his skills running and designing our horse show software are amazing.  Chester also takes a turn working the gate and is always upbeat and encouraging competitors from the sidelines.  He manages to find time to show his own horse in a run or two during the show.  We'd be lost without him!!! (Sask Reining Horse)

 

Corinne Ginter

Corinne devotes her energies to keeping our events running smoothly; organizing volunteers to work the gate, scribes for judges, and all area someone is required for a task.   She is on location to open up our venue for shows and is there to wrap up when it's over.  She been involved with our very successful youth program providing incentives and opportunities for our young members.  Corinne works tirelessly and fills in wherever there is a need.

Joanne Malmgren

Joanne Malmgren volunteers on our Pony Club committee at the Saskatoon Pony Club and gives so much wealth and knowledge to our education within the Pony Club itself. (She is the education chair ) She is finding new and fun ways to engage the kids, by utilizing technology and social media accounts. She constantly messages me about ideas of how we can engage the kids and teach them in ways that will connect with them. She spends a lot of her extra time planning and helping others. She also has been a huge support to us after we’ve purchased our first horse and is always there when we need a question answered or advice !! she truly is wanting to help grow the equine industry and grow and foster learning within our community. (Shelley Heuchert)
