Help Celebrate Our 75th Anniversary!
We had hoped for a big party this year to celebrate the Club’s 75th Anniversary but that is not meant to be for 2020. However, we can still celebrate!
We have four safe activities that we hope you will enjoy and participate in with or without a horse:
We know these are difficult times. Let this be something fun we can do this summer to celebrate the Club, our equine community and supporters. We look forward to seeing all your photographs and memories of the Club!
We wish we could say we will be holding our regular shows. Later this summer, we hope to offer some smaller events. Stay safe and healthy!
We have four safe activities that we hope you will enjoy and participate in with or without a horse:
- Enjoy reading and seeing pictures about our history! We will post photos and articles on the Lake Washington Saddle Club Facebook page from our LWSC Scrapbooks that go back to 1945. From the letter that started it all… to the memorable 4th of July Shows… to our efforts to protect the Park… we will take a walk down memory lane virtually.
- Share your history and experience with Lake Washington Saddle Club. We are encouraging folks to dig out their own photos, scan them if needed and share them on our Facebook pages by tagging #LakeWashingtonSaddleClub.
- What are your favorite memories of the Club?
- Why is it special to you?
- How did it help you achieve your horsemanship goals?
- Come to the Park for a self-guided trail ride and take a selfie. We put up a 75th Anniversary banner at the showgrounds by the Warm Up arena. Come visit, with or without your horse (but a trail ride is encouraged), take a selfie with that banner. Go for a trail ride or hike on the Trillium Trail and visit the history posters that will be out on the Trillium trail. Take pictures with your favorites and post on social media with #LakeWashingtonSaddleClub. (Please practice social distancing and stay safe!) Showgrounds and arenas are open.
- Enter Our Anniversary Raffle to Win a Prize. Use the form below to upload either the photo with the Anniversary Banner or with the History signs and enter our Anniversary Raffle. We will be drawing winners randomly over the summer and giving away gift cards that we have purchased to help our local equestrian small businesses who need our support. These are the retail businesses that have been such generous LWSC sponsors for so many years; Olson’s Tack Shop, The Gift Horse Saddlery, First Fruits Feed, The Grange, Dayville Hay and Grain, Snohomish Co-Op and Town Center Hardware. We will be posting winners on our Facebook page and mailing out the gift cards.
