Testimonials
"When Cathy Drumm speaks, horses listen." - Kevin Wade
"Cathy
has an uncanny ability to watch a horse move under saddle and then know,
in a moment's time, the program it must have to improve physically
and/or mentally. I've been fortunate to witness hundreds of horses
become more talented, confident, and sound because of her experienced
eye."
- Bliss Rufo, Manager, Golden Hill Farm
"Cathy has a dynamic,
entertaining, and incredibly focused style of teaching. She is able to
quickly and accurately assess each rider and mount so that she can
present specific, individualized strategies for immediate improvement."
-Catherine Grey, non-competitive, Pleasure rider
"Cathy is one of the best horsewomen I know."
- Dr. Steve Naile, Veterinarian
"Cathy thinks like a horse. She understands them so well that she knows what they are going to do before they do it."
- Lea Parnas, Stable Proprietor
"I
grew up around horses - started lessons when I was 4. But, I didn't
learn, really learn, how to ride until I was 14, when I started riding
with Cathy. She is the most effective, knowledgeable instructor I have
ever had."
- June Forest, Eventer and Long Distance Trail rider
"Cathy
is a truly professional horsewoman with deep insight and commitment;
not only for each rider but each individual horse as well. Her support
has allowed me to develop a stronger bond of precision, trust and confidence with my horse."
- Katey Grey
"Working
with Cathy provided me with a safe and supportive environment to
re-enter the equestrian world. She is clear with her instruction and
lavish with her praise. My skills improved quickly and dramatically. I
love working with her."
- Isanne Werner, Hunter/Jumper rider
"Cathy
has a unique way of understanding both the horse and the rider's needs
and uses that to create an individualized plan that's beneficial to
both."
- Deb Counihan, Owner
"Cathy
introduced me to the idea that the very issues that we struggle with in
the saddle may be connected with the issues we struggle with in every
day life! Often times we can take the lessons we learn in our riding
lessons and apply them to issues we face daily. Further, doing so will
ultimately improve our connection with the horse and make us better
riders."
- Laura Peterson, LCSW, Equine Facilitated Psychotherapist
