Roof Of Riding Arena Collapses



OLYMPIA, Wash. —

The roof of a riding arena in Olympia collapsed early Saturday under the weight of rain-soaked snow.

Co-owner Cathy Noyes said owners of Sherman Valley Ranch, a horse- and dog-boarding facility, had been working for several days to clear the snow from the 76- by 156-foot roof, KIRO 7 reported.

No horses or dogs were injured.

Noyes told KIRO 7 that she and helpers had turned the horses out into the snow-covered fields, just in case. She said the kennel area for dogs was safe.

The roof collapsed just after 1 a.m. It arena was attached to a barn, which contains an office and an apartment.
