Region: Northwest

Pat is from Yadkin County, Jonesville, NC. She and her husband Trent own and operate Star’s Peak Valley Ranch, Foundation Training. She earned her Certificate in Equine Science, and paramount to her is education as she believes that “Knowledge is power. We must figure out a way to make the horse owners of NC, from the weekend trail riders to the show circuit participants, aware that the NCHC is their voice, and that voice needs to be heard.” Pat has served on several NCHC committees including the membership and development committee. She currently serves on the Board of Directors of the North Carolina Quarter Horse Association, as well as serving as President of NCQHA District III.
