Behind the Action: Making Magic with the Horses of Hollywood” is a bilingual exhibition where visitors can step behind the scenes to learn what it’s like to work with horses and what goes into the magic of seeing horses on screen! Through the stories of wranglers, stunt performers, trainers, and actors, we explore the special bonds between actors and their equine costars; the history of horses in the film and television industry; training; and ensuring safety on set.
In addition to photos and videos, this exhibit features props and costumes from the television show 1883!
The exhibit will be on display from November 12, 2024, through November 15, 2025.
If you or someone you serve has already started 2025 and isn’t sure how they are going to make it through, this is the conference for you.

AMARILLO, TX – On Saturday, January 25, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Storybridge will host its 4th Annual Dream & Donate Children’s Book Drive in the parking lot of the United Supermarket at 45th & Bell. A drop-off box will also be available at the United in Canyon for those wishing to donate books. Storybridge PO Box 50524 Amarillo, TX 79159 storybridgeama.org Give kids books… Change their story. Chandra Perkins Executive Director
“We began this event to honor Dr. MLK Jr. by translating our care for neighbors into action,” says Storybridge Executive Director Chandra Perkins. “Last year, the community donated almost 15,000 books. This year’s goal is 18,000, which would help over 3,000 children choose their own personal book collection.”
Storybridge is asking for new or gently used books for babies through 5th grade. They are also encouraging community members to organize a group of friends, coworkers, or neighbors to collect books as a team. All donated books will be distributed free of charge through Storybridge programs, which include Book Trailer visits, Summer Storytime, Little Free Libraries, Kinderbridge, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Storybridge’s mission is to ensure every child in Amarillo owns at least 20 high-quality, age-appropriate books by 5th grade, enters kindergarten ready to read, and benefits fully from literacy.
“Texas Dodge is excited to be working with Storybridge to accept book donations to bring the joy of reading to the children in our community. Every donation helps foster a love of learning, empowering kids with tools they need to succeed.”
Paul Pruett, Texas Dodge
