Big news! For the first time ever, Carousel Ranch's annual Heart of the West dinner, demonstration and auction will be held at the organization's warm and wonderful facility in Santa Clarita.

The ranch is known for its authentic Western feel and charm, but the real draw is the opportunity to see the newest facilities and covered arena that have been made possible by the donations raised at previous events.

Also new this year is "Heart of the West After Dark," scheduled to follow the live auction. There will be line dancing, photo booths, roping lessons, a casino and more. As is standard for this must-attend night, guests will enjoy a delicious meal by Salt Creek Grille Catering and bar selections from Vincent Hill Station. The highlight of the night will be demonstrations on horseback performed by the children who receive equestrian therapy at the Ranch.

LIVE AUCTION ITEMS INCLUDE:
• Princess Cruises cruise for two (For up to 15 days!) in a balcony stateroom to the Hawaiian islands
• a catered sushi-station dinner for up to 20 guests from Kudo Private Dining
• a week-long say in a French chateau for up to 10 guests
• a 12-day stay in a lux Cebu, Philippines beach house
• full-access to a premium suite at the Staples Center to watch a Laker's game

The Carousel Ranch Story...
What makes Carousel Ranch such a special place within the Santa Clarita Valley? Simply, it's transformative; it's a place where therapy is disguised as fun in an atmosphere where every child can succeed. Meet Justin Gallegos, an alumni with cerebral palsy who started at Carousel Ranch when he was 1 year old and now runs cross country, track and field for Hart High School. (Check out Justin's inspirational video at fb.com/carouselranch.). The Ranch provides equestrian therapy for children with disabilities. The movement of the horse causes an inherent response from the child, relaxing muscles that are tight, increasing tone in muscles that are weak, building balance, coordination and control, which in turn enables children to use hands and arms, sit, stand and walk. With the community's support, Carousel Ranch can help more children like Justin succeed. Together, we can make a difference, one very special child at a time. For more information, visit
