The Heartwarming Story Of Amy’s Wish with Wings

Get an inside look at the heartwarming stories happening at Amy's Wish with Wings.

This episode takes place at Southlake’s Amy’s Wish with Wings. Doreen Burton, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Kathy Talley, and Mayor McCaskill join us to discuss this organization’s heartwarming story.

Doreen Burton is the founder of both Ride with Pride and Amy’s Wish with Wings.

The non-profit organization Amy’s Wish with Wings serves children with special needs by providing equine-assisted therapies.

The organization’s name comes from Amy, who started riding horses as a child at Ride with Pride. After falling ill, Amy wished to ride on her own again. Soon, she was able to ride independently, which is where “Wings” in the name came from.

The City of Southlake is thankful for all that Doreen Burton and Amy’s Wish with Wings does for families and the community.
