On May 25, 2013, one woman, one horse, and one dog set out from Baker on the Nevada-Utah border and rode 500 miles to Reno, Nevada. The journey tested the resolve of all involved, as they rode 20 mile days and crossed Nevada's challenging back country all to bring attention to the plight of wild horses. One month later they completed their amazing journey.
