Patrick Hooks and his family are fortunate to live in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, where ranch horses are still a necessity in the American cattle industry.  Patrick's common sense approach to horse training comes through the legacy of the Dorrance's and Ed Connell.  Patrick gave his first public colt-breaking clinic in 1989. To date, he has given numerous clinics at national horse expositions, private ranches, colleges, universities and worked as an instructor at OPSU. He is blessed to draw from his experiences working on mama cow operations in Texas , New Mexico , Colorado  and Oklahoma .  His experience includes riding pens, caring and doctoring for cattle in feed lots, sale barns, wheat pasture and, Lord bless, first time heifers.  In addition, Patrick has worked as a hunting guide, wrangler and is an accomplished farrier.

Watch for Pat in the Extreme Equine Experience colt starting competition and his daily demonstrations of his signature series Fix It Up for the Horse.  Pat will also be doing hands on clinics throughout the weekend on knot tying, roping, and more!
