Dozens of Norco’s Saddle Sore Riders follow a dirt

Dozens of Norco’s Saddle Sore Riders follow a dirt road toward the end of a horseback tour of Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach (NWSSB), Detachment Norco, home of Naval Surface Warfare Center, Corona Division. The event sought to strengthen the bond between the community and the Navy while showcasing the uniqueness of the Navy in Norco – advanced, 21st century technical capabilities headquartered in Horsetown U.S.A., a term trademarked by the city to describe the equestrian lifestyle of Norco’s semi-rural community. The recently installed satellite ground stations in the background enable NSWC Corona to provide performance assessment of Navy missile tests conducted in the Pacific Ocean from its Joint Warfare Assessment Laboratory in Norco.
