Cassidy and Teddy
Hi, my name is Cassidy I am 12 years old and I met Susan because of my Make a Wish. I have cancer, so I got a Make- a- Wish. Ever since I was little I have wanted a horse, so obviously thats what I wished for. Susan helped me find my perfect horse. Now I have a wonderful horse named Teddy. He is the love of my life .
It has been very difficult going through radiation and chemotherapy, but meeting Susan and getting Teddy made me look forward to getting up in the morning and going to ride. Looking at pictures and videos of Teddy help me get through the treatments. I have been riding horses since I was 5 years old and Susan is by far the best horse trainer I have ever met. Not only has she taught me how to be safe around horses but she is one of my best friends. I am so glad I met you, Susan!!!!!! Thanks for everything.
Love your biggest fan,

This is Cassidy's mom. I just have to say that we feel SO blessed to know Susan. Cassidy has been riding horses since she was 5 years old, and has saved every penny in order to one day buy her own horse. Unfortunately our life took a sudden, drastic turn when our precious daughter was diagnosed with a brain tumor in January of 2010. We choose to look at the positive side of the situation, and one extremely positive side is meeting Susan Wirgler. I have watched Cassidy take countless horseback riding lessons over the past seven years, I have never seen anyone teach Cassidy as much as Susan has. She has taught Cassidy how to be safe on and around a horse, how to respect a horse, how to relate to a horse and how to have fun with her horse. Susan has such a passion for horses and teaching her students, and it shows. But Susan goes beyond that. When Cassidy is in San Francisco doing her treatments, Susan will call her, just to see how she is doing, and will give her an update on what and how Teddy is doing. I can't even begin to tell you how much these calls mean to Cassidy and to me. It always puts a smile on Cassidy's face, no matter how badly she is feeling! Thank you Susan for ALL you have done this past year, you and Teddy have made this difficult journey for a young girl a little more bearable. You are a true blessing to our family! - Cassidy and Lisa Sidhu
