We are very close to solving our insurance dilemma.

I expect to reopen the club in a day or so.

This hiccup in coverage was the result of our carrier leaving the State of Washington and did not reflect upon our excellent risk profile.  

Finding coverage took a bit of time because we needed to entertain different bids from different agencies.

This closure will be over soon and will not effect any of our scheduled events in August and September. 

We are looking very forward to partnering with the Lower Puget Sound Dressage Club the weekend of August 11-12-13, hosting our 4th (double points) Hunter/Jumper Show August 19th, hosting our final Hunter/Jumper Show on September 23rd and hosting our second Dressage Schooling Show on October 6-7.

More to come shortly!

DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES OUT OF OUR CONTROL, THE CLUB NEEDS TO CLOSE TO ALL RIDING ACTIVITIES ON JULY 3, 2017. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED A LAPSE IN OUR LIABILITY INSURANCE COVERAGE AND WHILE WE RE-NEGOTIATE COVERAGE WITH A NEW CARRIER, WE MUST CLOSE THE CLUB TO ALL RIDING/EQUESTRIAN/WALKING ACTIVITIES ON THE CLUB PREMISES. WE WILL ALLERT MEMBERS IMMEDIATELY UPON SECURING NEW COVERAGE AND RE-OPENING THE CLUB.

The main arena is closed today in preparation for the schooling show tomorrow. Thank you for your flexibility!

Our own Carly Pearl Sacks will be on hand this Saturday to photograph your rounds. Carly has nurtured her love of photography into a fledgling business and we are thrilled to have the addition of her photographic talents at the Dressage Schooling Show. She will be on hand, courtside all day to capture the action in the ring. To see, review and order her shots, simply visit carlypearlsacksphotography.zenfolio.com after the show.

Starting Thursday afternoon with the set up of the dressage court, both BISC arenas will be closed. This is a big weekend at BISC; on Friday dressage schooling rounds are scheduled, on Saturday we are hosting our Spring Dressage Schooling Show and on Sunday the BI Pony Club is piggy backing on our set up and hosting a Dressage Rally. It promises to be a fun, dressage filled few days!

Puget Sound Energy is doing some electrical line improvements in the Day Road area and needs to pass through Saddle Club for some of their work.

The main road in and out of the club is a bit torn up and there are large pieces of equipment strewn about the area. 

It may be impossible to drive a trailer in or around the circle in the next few days. There will be holes in the ground and ditches to avoid so best to stay clear of the club for a few days.

Work should be concluded by Thursday.

Thanks for your patience.

Both the main and warm up arenas will be closed Thursday, April 6th, and Friday, April 7th, for maintenance and set up relating to the show on Saturday.

Due to projected attendance shortfalls Saddle Club is taking two actions:
- starting the show later at 9am NOT 8am
- consolidating classes to the Jumper section

Due to the lower projected attendance at this show, we will be expanding our Jumper section to accommodate more levels of fences and cancelling our Hunter section. However, since we anticipate a limited audience, we will remain flexible and will work closely with those in attendance to accommodate their wishes. If demand exists, we will add both 2' and 2'3" sections.

Warm up will be available before the 9am start of the show.

We will be trimming some low and dangerous limbs at the Saddle Club on Monday and Tuesday, April 3 & 4. Please avoid riding at and through the club on those days.

Thanks so much,

the Saddle Club board
