The evening will begin with a light dinner at 5:30 pm; the program will begin promptly at 6:30 pm. During the program, Richards will read passages from her best-selling books “Chosen by a Horse” and “Chosen Forever”. Richards will also read from her new book, “Saddled”, which will be released in early May.

     “We are ecstatic about Susan Richards joining us to raise funds and awareness for the Equine Science Center,” said Karyn Malinowski, director of the Center. “Susan is an extremely gifted writer who captures the transformative experience of rescuing and caring for a horse. Friends and supporters of the Equine Science Center relate to Susan’s books because they understand the profound impact of the horse-human connection.”

     Individual tickets for the event are $50 (a table of 10 is $500) which includes an autographed copy of “Saddled” and a light dinner. Sponsorships for the evening are also available for $1,000 per table. Sponsors get to invite 10 attendees and will be given special recognition in the event program as well as mention during the evening.
