Feel better soon, Patrick
Most current accounts of Patrick Swayze’s illness refer to his career on stage and screen. Here, we will note him as another horse lover. One of us. Patrick is an expert equestrian, breeder and fancier of Arabian horses.
Click on this page to see the famous Polly Knoll photo of him and his stallion Tammen. I didn’t include the photo in this post because I’m still hazy about the copyright issues.
And here’s more information about Swayze’s love of Egyptian Arabian horses .
Have you seen that video clip of Patrick riding one of his arabs at a big show? I can’t find a copy of the clip. My memory is vague, the horse is coming across the screen left to right, Pat may have been carrying a flag—can’t remember. It just showed his exceptional power and control as a rider. JW

Yes, coopercreekcollection, I think I know which one you mean. There are several videos on YouTube of him with his horses. He’s an excellent horseman. I hope he’s getting a lot of healing time at the barn.
