Storey County: Horse Thief Canyon Desperados

When it was first created by Buffalo Bill in the nineteenth century, the cowboy show was a chance for city folk in the east to see firsthand the lifestyle of the Western Frontier. While that Frontier may no longer exist, one authentic reenactment group strives to keep the history of the Wild West alive.

The reenactments of the Horse Thief Canyon Desperados are all historically accurate skits that portray important events pivotal in the history of the American Frontier. Their cowboy shows also celebrate the independence and hardworking nature of that time in history, and the audience will never see the same act taking place twice in one show.

The troupe is made up of seasoned actors who are excellent at ad-lib, and who display fantastic and unbelievable feats of skill in gun fight shows. They provide their audience with sights similar to those seen at famous traveling Western shows during the turn of the nineteenth century.

Knowing the importance of safety, the Horse Thief Canyon Desperados include a stunt and firearm safety demonstration at each show, and make it clear that gun fight show stunts are performed by trained and experienced professionals. The troupe has always been dedicated to providing safe and wholesome family entertainment.

Historic reenactments are not only fun to watch, but educational as well. To learn more about the Horse Thief Canyon Desperados check out their website at www.CowboyRodeosinRenoNV.com or follow them on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/QUARTERCIRCLEM.
