Patricia Probert Gott is a retired businesswoman and author of nineteen books. Her adventures have taken her to five continents, fifteen countries and forty-seven states, from several horse pack trips in the American West, weeklong horseback riding adventures in Australia and Hungary, an exciting horseback excursion in Egypt, and a ten-day horse safari in South Africa, to rafting down the Grand Canyon, volunteering in Tanzania, walking on the Great Wall of China, and visiting the Potala Palace in Tibet. For several summers she was a ranch wrangler and trail guide outside Cody, Wyoming. Ms Gott resides in Maine and owns a rescued donkey, and an Arabian horse that she raised, trained, and trail rides frequently. She began riding at the age of eight, and she has owned, raised and trained horses ever since, accounting for her knowledge and experience with horses as detailed in her cowgirl books and horse stories.
