The club will be hosting an ORT on March 2nd, 2025 in Auburn.  Stay tune for more details about opening date and how to register your pup!

Thanks to all our club members and event participants we were able to provide a donation to The Prodigious Fund for over $15,000.  Accepting the club’s ‘big check’ donation is Emerald Down’s Vice President, Jack Hodge.  The money provided to the Fund will provide assistance for ex-racehorses as they start new careers in a variety of equestrian disciplines.

Our May 11/12 2024 trials in Burien will open on March 27th

We are busy working behind the scenes on several sniffing opportunities for winter/spring 2024.

Tenatively we will be offering:

1. January 21st, 2024:  Mock ORT in Auburn.  Great practice if you are planning on entering the Feb. 11th ORT
2. January 28th, 2024:  NW1/2 Sniff n Go in Auburn
3. February 11th, 2024:  ORT in Auburn
4. February 25th, 2024:  NW2/3 Sniff n Go in Auburn

The club is also planning on hosting at least two NACSW trials in spring 2024.  One in Kent on March 16/17, a second one in Burien on May 11/12.

Thanks to all the hard work of our club membership we were able to raise $8,875 for the Prodigious Fund in calendar year 2022. When I delivered the ‘big check’ to Emerald Downs I learned that last year’s donation facilitated the rescue of four WA bred thoroughbred horses from around the country. After going through their quarantine period the horses were transferred back to WA state to received any needed veterinary care and retraining with the goal of finding them forever homes. Way to go Sniffers!  Shelly
