JASON PATRICK Jason Patrick has spent his entire life learning to be a horseman, and he is still striving to learn more. Growing up on a working ranch in Colorado that ran 7500 yearlings and 100 mother cows, Jason had 5 horses assigned to him by the time he was 10. Jason’s dad hated high strung and high headed horses, so Jason was given some of the problem horses of the herd. Jason spent the first 18 years of life fixing problem horses just to survive. Somewhere along the line Jason got really good at making really nice horses and a career was born. As Jason got older he realized how much he had to learn so he began traveling and working with other trainers and to this day continues to train himself as much as his horses. Jason’s goal is to be a great horseman by the time he is 80 years old. Jason is now 36 and still makes his living on the back of a horse. Last year alone, Jason’s ranch started more than 150 different colts. Jason personally put the first rides on more than 80 of those horses, which was actually a few less than the years before since he now has apprentices and interns working with him. Jason is rare in today’s horse training world because he is a lifetime cowboy who has the scars, marks, and hilarious stories to show for it. Jason’s clinic career began because he required people to come and ride with him before he would sell them a horse. The demand for Jason’s horses was so high that people soon found out that Jason was almost as good at training people as he is at training horses. Growing up with the cowboys and gentlemen of yesterday has instilled a way of life into Jason that he displays with pride. Complete with tipping his hat to the ladies, saying Yes, sir and Yes, ma’am, Jason is a product of yesterday, with today’s approach to horsemanship. Jason has won money competing in Reined Cow Horse competitions, Ranch Horse Versatility competitions, Ranch Rodeos, Colt Starting, and many other performance events. Jason has been featured on Country Music Television’s “America’s Top Cowboy,” several different shows on RFD-TV, countless publications across the country, and has been featured at horse clinics and Expos all over North America.
