The daughter of a Veterinary Surgeon, Cathy has been around animals all her life. She has always loved horses and especially visiting and working with clients horses.

She has been involved in fitness teaching for over fifteen years and has trained many celebrities from all walks of life/screen. As a mother of four and having run her own successful fitness centre she is well used to talking to clients and understanding their hopes and fears.

In recent years she has taken a special interest in equine behaviour. Having studied the methods of Monty Roberts, Cathy became an instructor on the Intelligent Horsemanship Courses, until her business rapidly expanded and she felt a need for more behavioural education.

She is also a TTEAM practitioner and continues to study these methods both in the UK and Overseas. In order to work with equine behaviour and help the many horses that she sees Cathy has; become an Equine Dentist, can determine whether saddles fit and the back is healthy and is studying the barefoot horse.

In order to gain the widest base of information on the many equine training techniques used and make assessments as to their respective merits (or otherwise), Cathy continues to study many different methods, put forward by horsemen and women from all over the world.

Cathy has encompassed many of these methods and added much of her own knowledge and experience, her overwhelming concern is for the welfare of the horse and the way in which they are treated. The methods she uses are well proven and she always likes to involve the owner so that the work may be continued once they get their horse home.

If you decide to ask Cathy to help you and your horse you will be sure of honest opinions, methods that work and an array of new techniques to add to your daily horse management skills.

Cathy writes regularly for leading equine journals, having been on the expert panel of Horse magazine and Chiltern & Thames Rider, where she responded to readers questions about behavioural problems every month. As well as this she has written a series of articles for 'EQ' magazine. She has also had several major articles published on her methods of dealing with various common behavioural problems.
