Since Pattie was a small girl she has always had a deep connection with animals, helping animals that otherwise had no voice of their own to the best of her ability. When she was a child she was raised alongside horses, even taught how to ride by hopping on and being told don’t fall off (Pattie does not recommend this method). Since then she has become accustomed to the many different disciplines within the equine community. So after 30 years in the corporate world, she decided it was time for a change. She adopted their first horse without realizing this would pave the road to what she has now. Pattie wanted a quiet place for her and her horse to spend time together. Somewhere that was personal and not generic mainstream. She had found her safe haven. Pattie quit her job and spent her days at the barn. So after 9 years, 7 horses and 2 goats later she had the chance to live out an unknown dream. She took over the boarding facility and Graefen Grove Ranch was born.

Clyde’s wife had tried to make him a horse person for years. He liked the horses and likes helping her take care of them, but he never had the desire to ride them. That was until he met…her. It was love at first sight. All of a sudden Clyde wanted to be a horse person. Yes, this gorgeous redhead accomplished in one week what his wife had been trying to for years.

Since she was a young child she has been around horses. Horses have been in her blood and a passion of hers all her life. With the exception of a few years while serving our country in the Navy. Once her time was done, she found her way back to her love of horses and joined Graefen Grove Ranch. Megan has been with us for 4 years.
