When asked if she could recall her first show experience, Pattison explains. “Of course I do! It was a local open show at our county fairgrounds, and I was petrified. I was twelve yers old and so nervous that I thought I was going to be sick, so I showed in Halter and Showmanship and we went home. About three shows later, I had enough confidence to ride and fell off during the warm up. That was embarrassing. Needless to say, I stuck with Halter and Showmanship for the remainder of the year and got third place at the county fair in my Showmanship class. I had a three-year-old, green broke horse and we were learning together.”
