| Pati Temple |
Wild mustangs and McElmo Canyon progressives lost a great advocate with the
passing of Patricia Ann Draheim Temple at Trail Canyon Ranch in Montezuma County
this past January. She and her devoted husband David were partners for 38 years
and together ran Trail
Canyon Ranch.

Pati and
I served together on the BLM’s Southwest Resource Advisory Council, and we
became friends – both for our shared care for wild horses and environmental
sanity, as well as our love of Colorado’s open spaces and wildlands.
I know I
speak for a lot of good people in Southwestern Colorado when I say that’s she’s
going to be dearly missed.
Overflow
-for Pati
She whirled a
big lasso
& roped us
all in
Took a shine
to wild
mares &
mustangs
Loved Trail Canyon
Ranch &
its mysteries
Gave David a
full mug
& most of
her life
Shared the
overflow
in McElmo
& beyond
Her love a
gust of wind
galloping
through your hair
