What Is The Equine Experience?

The Equine Experience is Prairieland’s newest signature event, proudly presented by the Agriculture Department — a dynamic, family-friendly weekend where education, sport, and equine lifestyle come together in one unforgettable setting. Taking place May 2 & 3 at the Prairieland Ag Center, this multi-day event is designed for horse lovers of all ages and skill levels.

Unlike traditional horse shows that focus on ribbons and rankings, The Equine Experience puts the spotlight where it belongs, on horsemanship. Through hands-on learning clinics, engaging demonstrations, and a welcoming environment, this event encourages growth, confidence, and connection between horse and rider.

It’s more than an event, it’s a place where clinicians and the community come together to share knowledge, inspire learning, and create lasting memories for horse-minded families.

Meet Our Clinicans

Karletta Dewitt

Karletta Dewitt is a Saskatchewan-based horse trainer and coach who has been riding for as long as she can remember. Growing up in the rodeo world, she started barrel racing at four years old and built her foundation riding horses started within her family program. 

Karletta’s passion lies in developing confident horses and riders through practical horsemanship. She focuses on improving feel, timing, and communication, helping riders build stronger partnerships with soft, willing horses.

Over the years, Karletta has developed a clinic program that provides riders with a supportive, hands-on learning environment. Attendees leave with practical tools and techniques they can take home to continue developing confident horses and successful riding partnerships.

She is grateful for the community of riders and horse enthusiasts who support her work and loves sharing her experience with everyone who comes out to ride with her.

Jessica Wruck

Jessica was born and raised in Northern British Columbia and has been riding horses for as long as she can remember. Riding, breathing, and living horses came naturally to her.

She moved to Saskatoon in 2000 to pursue an education in Agriculture at the U of S. Jessica and Scott met at a horse event in 2002, married in 2010, and have two sons, Clayton and Waylon, who are the center of their busy, fun-filled lives.

In 2015, Jessica and Scott established Wruck Riding Centre (WRC) just south of Saskatoon. As sole owners and operators, they continue to grow the business while raising their boys. Passionate about all aspects of horses, they focus on raising, training, and selling quality horses, competing in the Saskatchewan Reined Cowhorse Association (SRCHA), and enjoying trail riding in the Cypress Hills.

Jessica and Scott invite you to join them in their horse journey and share in their love of horses!
