This tiger came from Josip Marcan. Pat obtained him for the Carson & Barnes act she was working in Dec. of 1987. Ceylon did the shoulder stand, then she rode him out of the ring.

Karen, this is the same lady that we saw on this Blog, a week or so ago, currently working the giraffe, zebras and cats in Japan.

This picture sends shivers down my spine. The size of that creature being controlled by that little lady. I don't think "civilians" can understand what this picture really says.

Mixing animals into an act that have come from other acts and trainers is more difficult than training them yourself. I have seen Pat White do both.

Pat is a all around great person and entertainer. One of best act I ever work with.

I am soooo glad Patricia White is getting the credit due her. She deserves the praise that is long over due her. I only watched her work one time working a cat act some one else had blotched and was so sorry for her. This is why I can never say enough good things about her work with animals. She made it against all odds. GO GIRL
