What an amazing kid... and What an amazing Mother, both have been through so much
All these my wishes have been great but this might be my favorite. Such a unique athlete to request to meet and they did an awesome job with the experience. What a great kid.

+maninthebox0 It's my favourite too...the kid is an original, wanting to meet a racehorse instead of a human athlete, but hey, why not, that's his hero

Yes it is
As much as I love horses I so feel for this young man. Patrick has good hands. He's got a feather-light touch with horses. I can see this just from this short video. He's an inspiration to me. You find a new love to move you forward. Bless.
As an equestrian this video is so inspiring and sweet to watch I hope he grows up to be an amazing equestrian
Smarty Jones is an amazing animal. Patrick made a great choice in favorite athletes :D god bless him!! and I hope he competes in the para olympics one day!!
Beautiful! I know that this was posted several years ago, but God Bless Patrick and his family! Love his laugh and his spirit!
What a great mother, seriously when I saw her holding him I choked up. Patrick has a heart of gold which is something most people dont have. Patrick is the man
This is just beautiful to watch. I have a lot of respect for Patrick and his mother. God Bless them.
All of these kids are my hero's. I feel honored to have been able to see into a small part of their lives. I feel honored to have seen their wishes come true amidst the battles they willingly fight every day of their lives. Signed, A US Army Airborne vet
I spent my teenage years on a farm that raised race horses and this story really got to me. if you've never been around a horse then you've missed out on something really special we had 27 of them and I loved every single one of them.

I miss my horses ... I cry sometimes just thinking about riding because I haven't ridden in 10 years and it's such a distinct connection one gets with horses.. I love riding so much and I'm now looking to volunteer to rescue horses because it kills me to see such a beautiful majestic creatures being abused and neglected.

my sister who is blind was using my account when this comment was made .. i personally haven't seen the video but have seen you message back .. she only has 10% vision left and has everything blown up to a suitable size to read witch still is not easy for her ...
It's awesome that he got his wish granted, and he truly did deserve it. I'm not saying the other kids don't deserve it. I get inspired by all these kids, and I think we can all learn a lesson from each and every one of them.
This is the FIRST one of the make a wish video that has made me cry :') God Bless you and your family Patrick
I met him once. Palomine use to do shows at Oakwood Farms. I live across the Street from the Farm. I spent a lot of my younger childhood years there.
I have worked with kids that some think are special . Let me tell you they are . Their love and kindness is so great that I cry every time they leave .I only wish more people could see what I do
Crying my eyes out as I watch this. What a beautiful moment, and beautiful young man. My god, is it such an amazing thing to see such a happy and giggling child, who has had SO many major obstacles. How awesome. To be honest, watching this also makes me ashamed of myself for whining and bellyaching over my stupid and smallish issues in life, when Ive been given so much. Ill try and do better about that, but in the meantime, I hope you are doing well Patrick and Susan. May god bless you wherever you are.
Horses are great for therapy, people calling them dangerous are ignorant to to gentleness of horses and how much good they can do for people like patrick
This made me cry. I want to work in a therapy barn, that's my wish.
made my day. i wish patrick and his mom good luck to come.
thats enough youtube for me tonight, im a wreck!

+Konor Anderson No, they shouldn't have, it's a nice idea, but a crazy one....putting a kid with his ailments on the back of a powerful Racehorse would be way too risky, even under close supervision...all it could take was something to spook Smarty and he could BOLT
Not to be rude but *cough* USC center *cough*
Lol a hundred girlfriends
My friend has water on the brain
