2012 Nevada Horse Park News & Events

June 8-10th: First Annual Wild West Fest Fundraiser

The Wild West Fest will be held at the Douglas County Fairgrounds in Gardnerville, NV. This will be NHP's largest fund raising effort of the year. Funds will be used to assist in the acquisition of land and the construction of the Nevada Horse Park show grounds and facilities. We are currently in the negotiating process for the acquisition of approximately 1000 acres located in the beautiful Carson Valley.

The Wild West Fest will host numerous events and activities over a 3 day period while promoting and celebrating the Old West Lifestyle, Cowboys and Horses through art, music, horsemanship and of course - riding! Please join us for an exciting and fun-filled weekend while raising funds for the Nevada Horse Park.*
Admission to the Fair is free but donations are welcome.
*Nevada Horse Park is a 501c3 non-profit organization so your donations are tax deductible.

The Spirit of the West Art Show and Cowboy Craft Fair will feature Old West Arts and designs from local and National Vendors. The Cowboy Craft Fair will host vendors with a flair for Western, Cowboy, and Equestrian design such as clothing, saddlery and tack, furniture and décor. For Vendor prices and applications:
