While most junior-high students were sleeping in on Saturday mornings this spring, Ryan Short was up early and at the Hollywood Hill Saddle Club Arena in Woodinville by 7:30 a.m. warming up both his vocal cords and his trumpet.
The son of Mary and Andrew Short of Bothell, Ryan not only is the announcer for the horse shows each month May through August, but also plays the national anthem on his trumpet at the beginning of the show. He turned 13 on June 30.
