This is her second book to be published, and she has many more in the future. She believes her writing is a God-given talent.

Pat grew up riding horses. She lived on a farm where there was a lot of open space to ride. She and her sister Lou would ride bareback and ride as fast as any horse could run. Pat’s dad taught them riding skills and to always be careful because horses can hurt you by bucking you off. They had great respect for the horses they rode. They would ride in rodeo parades and carry the saddle club and American flags.

Horses are the most beautiful creatures that God has created. If you love them and show them special care, they will love you right back and become your best friend. Volando was Pat’s special friend, and she will love him forever.
