Raves, Rants & Roses

ROSES: Send raves to Shelly Williams for providing horses and ponies for the children to ride at the Lil' Wranglers party Friday June 5 in connection with this year's Cattle Barons' gala.

Shelly has a heart as big as Texas, and is dedicated to providing animal assisted therapy to anyone who might benefit. She knows many of the children from visiting them at the hospital with her pony Rio, but this was the first time they actually got to ride.

I know it was a hit as I watched each child glow with excitement - their smiles literally lit up the night.

Shelly has extensive knowledge of many different animals, and enjoys sharing her animals with others. MacArthur, Katrina and I were privileged to help Shelly with this Lil' Wrangler project this year. Thanks to everyone who makes this wonderful event possible and thank you Shelly for providing your special healing touch.
