READERS COMMENTS "I have worked with and known Cherie for over 20 years. This is a lady that
truly believes in young livestock people. She has dedicated the better
part of her life to generating many opportunities for young livestock
enthusiasts. I'm sure that many people, like myself, have memories of Cherie
encouraging them or speaking to them as children or young adults. She has
touched countless lives.
Her ability to write and transfer the underlying humor in life to paper is another of her great talents. Always positive and forward thinking, she has a gift to see the best in everything and every situation. I encourage you to read Won't Ride Sidesaddle" Christy Collins "There's no bigger supporter of livestock shows, and the people that participate in them, than Cherie Carrabba. This true Texas lady has done it all...and she's done it with style, grace, and a passion like no one else. And...to top it all off, she's the only person I know who can pull off wearing panty hose with her shorts while running a 3000-head livestock show in boiling Texas heat smack-dab in the middle of July! Seriously, I'm proud to call her both my mentor and one of my best friends. I would recommend "Won't Ride Sidesaddle" to anyone." "In the thirty years I have known Cherie Carrabba the things that have really stood out are her love for junior livestock shows, the exhibits and the adults involved in them and her gift of the written word. If you want to be educated and entertained at the same time “Won’t Ride Sidesaddle” is the book for you. It will be one of those books when you begin reading will not want to put down.
