Carousel Ranch's 22nd Annual Heart of the West
presented by Princess Cruises Community Foundation
to Benefit Children of Carousel Ranch

On August 25, over 850 guests, volunteers, kids and horses will come together to raise operational funds for Carousel Ranch, a local equestrian-therapy program that serves over 100 SCV kids weekly. A heart-bursting children's riding demonstration, live and silent auctions, dinner by Salt Creek Grille and line dancing will fill the evening at the Ranch's Auga Dulce location. As of time of print, only a few dozen tickets remain before the event is entirely sold out - so get yours now or make your "I wish I could be there!" donation online. carouselranch.org

Meet Carousel Ranch Rider Ayla Greenwald
"Ayla has been riding at Carousel Ranch since 2011. She started when she was barely walking at 4 years old. Ayla was born premature and has been developmentally delayed since in just about every way. However, that hasn't stopped her from progressing, growing and exceeding the expectations given to us by her medical team. Ayla has always had imbalance issues and difficulties walking straight due to her weak trunk muscles. Through her riding at Carousel Ranch, with Becky Graham as her instructor, she has flourished! She can now run, jump, walk backwards, stand on one foot and even swim! Her exercises on the horse every Saturday morning have been monumental in helping her reach her physical potential. While it may seem like equestrian therapy is physical in nature, it is so much more! Ayla has developed friendships with her instructors, fellow riders and volunteers at the Ranch. She works on appropriate interactions with non-family members - she is just so loving to everyone! We feel that it has been helpful for Ayla to work on these skills in the safe environment at the Ranch." Ayla's family

GIVE WHERE YOU LIVE SCV
Carousel Ranch is a special place where disabilities seem to become invisible while on the back of a horse. For anyone not familiar, this nonprofit organization has provided developmental therapeutic and recreational programs for children with special needs through equestrian therapy for more than two decades. The Ranch also started an innovative, creative vocational training program for young adults with special needs over the past few years. This is a transformative place where therapy is disguised as fun - and every child can and will succeed. We hope readers share our passion for the work of Carousel Ranch and join us in offering to support the 22nd Annual Heart of the West on Saturday, August 25. This is a special year, as the Ranch honors the Crawford Family - Wayne and Dianne Crawford, Kyle and Jeanna Crawford, and Eric and Jacque Stroh - as "Heroes of Hope," Carousel Ranch's highest honor recognizing individuals who have embraced the nonprofit's mission of horses, healing and hope.
