The Saskatchewan Horse Federation has announced the launch of the Saskatchewan Horse Federation Hall of Fame, established to honour and celebrate Saskatchewan residents who significantly contributed to the growth and awareness of the role horses have played in the province’s culture, agriculture, industry and sport.
Nominations for The SHF Hall of Fame are now being invited for individuals, couples, or families and, unique to the Hall of Fame, nominations for Saskatchewan’s horses acknowledge their role in the province’s history.
Inductees may be nominated to recognize contributions to industry growth or animal welfare, accomplishments in breeding or equestrian sports, impact on early provincial agricultural development, or to recognize the significance to First Nations Culture.
Eligibility criteria and Nomination Forms are found at https://saskhorsehalloffame.ca/ Nominations close at midnight Dec. 31, 2019.
“Horses were part of everyday life in years past and the SHF Hall of Fame proudly honors the people and horses that played a major role in Saskatchewan’s history,” says retired Veterinarian, Dr. Jim Sawatsky, SHF president-elect and committee chair of the Saskatchewan Horse Federation Hall of Fame.
The 2019 selected nominees will be inducted at a celebration during the Federation’s 2020 annual general meeting next March in Regina.
