This would designate Willow Ridge Stables as a Saskatchewan Horse Federation A Facility. Please go to the following website for information from SHFon how designations are applied. Phase-2-Announcement.pdf The Saskatoon Dressage Club can only confirm the status of the facility leading up to our show. After this show we recommend that riders/owners confirm with any facility what that facility s designation/status is. We hope that riders will respect this A designation leading up to the show and limit their Coggins tested horse to other A designation facilities to help continue to limit the risk of transmittal of EIA. 2.
