Equestrienne Samantha Szeciorka to speak on her "Nevada Discovery Ride"

Equestrienne Samantha Szeciorka will speak on her latest “Nevada Discovery Ride” on Sunday, July 9, at 10:00 am at the Dangberg Home Ranch Historic Park. This presentation is free.

Samantha Szeciorka will share her second “Nevada Discovery Ride.” In the summer of 2013, Szeciorka embarked on a 452-mile solo journey by horse across Nevada to encourage wild horse adoption. In 2016, along with her horse and dog, she once again set off on another epic equestrian adventure. For nearly three months and more than 1,100 miles, they trekked through some of the country's harshest terrain, experiencing incredible adventures and challenges. Her presentation is an entertaining and educational look at the challenges of the trail and the hidden beauty of Nevada.

Szesciorka is an avid equestrienne with nearly twenty years of experience and is an associate member of the Long Riders’ Guild. She is also the Assistant Curator at the Wilbur D. May Museum in Reno.

“Samantha is definitely a very engaging speaker. We couldn’t be happier to have her back to share her latest adventure,” said the park's events manager, Kim Harris.

Alpen Sierra Coffee Roasting Company will provide complimentary coffee and 88 Cups And More will provide baked treats.

The park is located at 1450 Hwy 88, ¼ mile north of the Carson Valley Veterinary Hospital. This is an outdoor event, and visitors should bring their own seating. Dogs are not permitted at this event. For more information, visit dangberghomeranch.org
