Cathy Drumm has been in love with horses since she was 5 years old. Since then, she has participated in Pony Club, competed in the hunter/jumper world and English and western dressage, trained riders young and old, and horses -both backyard and A-circuit, bought, trained, and sold horses, ran successful riding stables, transported horses, continued to learn, and, continued to ride. Cathy's life-personal, and professional - has depended on horses. During this journey with horses, Cathy has reached impressive pinnacles and fallen into unimaginable depths that she has risen from, again and again, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. And while horses have been both the cause of joy and success and the cause of collapse, Cathy has needed them in her life.Her story is one of strength and perseverance, love and understanding, and the power of horses in a person's life.
