‘Village of a care team’ saves vaulting horse after barn fire burns

Chrisy Parrish was just sitting down with the family after dinner on a Friday night in July when her phone buzzed with the alert: “Fire at Royal Ridges.”

Parrish is the program director for Royal Ridges Retreat in rural Yacolt, Washington. The retreat offers outdoor and equine programs year-round for kids and adults. Summers are particularly busy with youth campers flooding in day after day. This week had been no exception, and Parrish had just wrapped up an equine vaulting camp.
