I would have been more impressed if they has given him a season to SJ instead of a stuffed horse. Then again what is the difference?

amazing how therapeutic horse riding is for people with disabilities. amazing how patrick was able to use his other senses to measure his surroundings. i took a blind woman home shopping and she would snap her fingers when she entered the room to get a sense of how big the room was based on the echo.

great story and i wish there were more of them.

I loved when they turned Smarty loose in the paddock and Patrick could hear him rumbling by.

These storys ESPN do every year do not fail to grab your emotions...
