Don't miss the  Annual Tack Sale and HJ Schooling Show Finale this Saturday, kindly sponsored by Countryman Stables!

We are still accepting items for the tack sale. Please drop off clean apparel, tack and barn items in good condition at the saddle club office by Thursday 5pm if possible, or bring them early Saturday AM.  

For items of significant value, please arrange drop-off with Adrienne Buck for safe keeping until the sale. With our new 501(c)3 federal non-profit status, your donations are now tax-deductible..woohoo! Tax receipts will be available for pickup at the sale.

Come join us on October 5 for our end-of-season Fall Dressage Show.  Judging for us will be Nicol Hinde, USDF "L" judge with distinction and bronze medalist. BISC dressage schooling shows are designed for all levels and all ages. Registration closes Friday September 27, so register today.

Don't miss the double-points HJ schooling show this weekend to bolster your point total. (Check your points here.)  Nancy McCaleb and Living Well Farm will be our kind sponsors.  The weather forecast looks to give us a pleasantly mild summer day.

Text Jackie Chipman at 206-310-7478 to reserve your stalls. For more information, visit show event page.

Since so many of our members are away at Cle Elum or on vacation, we have decided to scale back our Gaming Event on Saturday.

We will skip the schooling jump course and begin our event with the Equestrian Games at 10am, followed by a group trail ride through Manzanita Park.  A Picnic Lunch will be served back at the Club House.

Suggested donation: $10, in lieu of $/ride.

Looking forward a beautiful morning riding together!

A special shoutout this morning to thank Janet Grunbok for all her help keeping the arenas dragged for the LPSDC dressage event this weekend. What a huge help this been.  If you have not made it over to the show, stop by to watch a few rides.  It will be going until 5:30pm tonight.

Also, while you are there, to take a moment to admire the sturdy new mounting block at the warmup arena, kindly crafted by Larry Knudsen. Thank you, Larry!

Back by popular demand!... Members, come join the fun and stretch your boundaries with events such as Ride-a-Buck, Egg-n-Spoon, and the Ribbon Ride.  MC'd by Laura Wise!!

Games will be leveled for both less-experienced and advanced non-riders. The morning fun will start with an open jumpers schooling course, followed by the games, and will culminate with a tasty BBQ.  There will be a special announcement by the Board that you won't want to miss.

For all the details and to RSVP, please visit the Members Gaming Event Page.

Not a member?  It's not too late to JOIN and participate in this crazy-fun event!

Registration is now open Saturday, July 27 Dressage Ride & Review and Sunday, July 28 Dressage Show.  Participate in one or both events.

This is a great opportunity for newbies and experienced riders to get helpful feedback and immediately be able to apply it.  Then take these learnings into competition the very next day at the show.

We hope to see you there!

P.S. Never have ridden dressage in competition before?  This event is a perfect low-stress introduction.

The next time you are at the club you may notice that something is missing...

Thanks to Bryan Stark, the enormous fire hazard of accumulated branches by the pump house has been chipped and turned into usable landscaping ground cover. 

Thank you, Bryan!
