Embracing the end of an era

The love of riding horses never ends for the Washougal High School equestrian team.

Chandler Audette, Emily Carroll, Shelby DeLong, Sarah Hess, Missy Knapp, Patrick McCarthy and Goose Rogers are the first group of seniors to ride together in the program for all four years. When parent advisor Rene Carroll describes the dedication each of these riders have for their horses, it sounds like this season is going to be the exclamation point to the end of an era.
