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.

@shyjames83 9 лет назад

+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

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.

@rte4634 5 лет назад

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

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.

@jtalbot34 8 лет назад

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.

@TheGonzo1960 8 лет назад

I must admit I miss my teenage years on on the farm we always had a lot of animals to take care of. but most of all I miss how save I felt living with my uncle.

@SoN_oF_oDiN76 7 лет назад

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'm 15 years old and I relate to this little boy so much as I am also blind and love to go and be with the horses and ride them he is such a grate kid and my wish woul be to meet him one day he is my inspiration to keep on going x

How did you type that then?

@chloecollis1327 9 лет назад

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 ...

@filmer56789 11 лет назад

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.

@Akatsukilover011 11 лет назад

This is the FIRST one of the make a wish video that has made me cry :') God Bless you and your family Patrick

@chocolatetownforever7537 2 года назад

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

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

I wish I had found this one years ago. The condition Patrick has is called hydrocephalus which I also have. Being lazy with "water on the brain" is unfortunate. Shunt failure causing blindness is incredibly rare. Something more than just hydrocephalus might have been at play. Perhaps a stroke. I notice he is also hard of hearing. Hope he is doing well all these years later.

They should have let him ride Smarty

@shyjames83 9 лет назад

+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
