What a great presentation! One woman, one horse, and one dog – discovering Nevada by foot, hoof, and paw – a discussion by Smantha Szesciorka of her travels through and around Nevada. What fantastic adventures! Everyone in attendance enjoyed this personal and motivating discussion. The number of questions and after meeting discussions certainly proved that Samantha hit a lot of points with the attendees. Since 2013, Samantha, under the Nevada Discovery Ride has logged tens of thousands of miles in Nevada’s backcountry, living on the trail to ride across and around the state. From wild animals to wild terrain, the trio has seen Nevada as few others will. In this exciting talk, Samantha recounted the adventures and challenges that come with riding across Nevada on a horse in the modern age. For more information, visit www.nevadadiscoveryride.com.
