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.
