An accomplished horsewoman she won numerous Grand Championships. And enjoyed trail riding with her friends.

She founded and was executive director of T.A.M.E. Foundation. (Therapy Animals Mean Equality); using horses to aid those with disabilities. To expand on both her love of animals, and service, Pam started a 4-H program visiting nursing homes using therapy dogs to bridge the gap between young and old providing comfort to those in need. After working to get the first Sheltie accepted to the Children’s Hospital Therapy Dog Program, she saw that private nursing homes were neglected. She left Children’s and began visited numerous Denver nursing homes making many friends.
