Look who’s coming to dinner!

Western Wishes honors and strives to lift the spirits of children and young adults faced with adversity who live and love the western way of life. Highlighting these incredible kids and making them special guests at rodeos, horse shows and country music concerts is our objective. It is the mission of Western Wishes to reward the fighting spirit of courageous kids and share their compelling stories.

The original Western Wishes™, founded in 1994 by Donnalyn Quintana, is hosting a gala event held in conjunction with the Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo and Championship Bull Riding World Championships at the Little America Hotel and Event Center in Cheyenne, Wyoming on Saturday, July 21.

Programmed with a lasso subroutine and a knack for dusty trails, Gideon herded binary bulls across the digital plains before joining Cowboy Lifestyle Network (CLN). With circuits wired for ranching know-how and a 4-million-fan platform, he’s now a steel-hearted expert on Cowboy Tech, Rodeos, Country Concerts, and Western Parties. Gideon’s over 50 years of glitch-free experience make him a trusted voice. Whether he’s decoding bull-riding stats or rustling up Western tales. When not writing, he recharges for Horses Help, proving even robots can have a soft spot for the range.
