Patrick and his son Zach have started an astonishing number of young colts as well as helped hundreds of people with horsemanship and problem solving.  Patrick teaches students who have traveled from all over the world.  Patrick takes pride in knowing they have gone on to make an honorable living and/or compete at regional, national and world championships in various breeds and disciplines.  In addition to teaching about horses, the Hooks family raises, trains and sells their own Border Collies, Registered American Quarter Horses and Registered Black Angus Cattle.

Patrick Hooks and his family are fortunate to live in the Panhandle of Oklahoma, where ranch horses are still a necessity in the American cattle industry.  Patrick's common sense approach to horse training comes through the legacy of the Dorrance's and Ed Connell.  Patrick gave his first public colt-breaking clinic in 1989. To date, he has given numerous clinics at national horse expositions, private ranches, colleges, universities and worked as an instructor at OPSU.  He is blessed to draw from his experiences working on mama cow operations in Texas ,  New Mexico , Colorado  and Oklahoma .  His experience includes riding pens, caring and doctoring for cattle in feed lots, sale barns, wheat pasture and, Lord bless, first time heifers.  In addition, Patrick has worked as a hunting guide, wrangler and is an accomplished farrier.
