Patricia Patton (Paddy) was one of the lucky little girls who did have a horse. Like
many adult amateurs, she came back to this early love after establishing a career
and realizing that life would be better all around if it once again included horses.
Paddy was exposed to dressage as a function of dabbling in eventing, and she has
kept that as her primary riding focus. First as a member of the VADA/NOVA board of
directors, and now through EEMI, Paddy has been drawn to the organizational
aspects of equestrian events. She organized an “L” dressage judge training program
in 2004, and assisted with organization of a small “r” program that same year. She
has managed recognized dressage and breed shows, schooling shows, clinics,
and hunter/jumper shows, and has competed in hunter/jumper, dressage, and
eventing.
