Some Background:
To name just a few of her pet peeves; "a horse should be able to stand and wait patiently while his owner is talking, he should lead and lunge quietly and obediently, he should get on and off a trailer politely, without rushing or bouncing around, he should leave other horses calmly and without hesitation, he should respond to commands willingly and without resistance."
Cathy has seen owners tolerating antics that she considers to be completely unacceptable and often dangerous!
Horses that don't lead or lunge, that bite and kick, push and shove, won't stand still, don't listen and generally ignore their owner. She has come across these unruly behaviors in every kind of situation, ranging from the fanciest of "AA" horse shows to the middle of a field on a trail ride.
In almost all cases the owner/rider knows that this behavior is wrong but doesn't realize that she can change it. She thinks that if she loves her horse she has to put up with it because it is somehow a part of who he is.
What the owner doesn't realize is that not only does she not have to put up with it, but that if she REALLY loves her horse she must teach him good manners. Her horse NEEDS her to teach him how to behave around people. No one likes an unruly or rude horse and the worst thing you can do for your horse is allow him to be the kind of horse that no one likes.
So, if you are a horse owner, it could be argued that you have a duty, not only to yourself, but to your horse as well. You should learn how to teach him to behave because you will BOTH be much happier in the long run.
Easier said than done? Here is your answer!
Who is "The Horse Nanny" and why go to her for help?
Cathy Drumm has always insisted on good manners for all her horses, her student's horses, and any horses that she comes across in her daily travels.
Cathy grew up in England and still has somewhat of an English accent and English mannerisms. For instance if a horse is moving when it shouldn't be, she might say in a British sounding command "Don't move a muscle" or if a horse reaches out to nip at her you would be likely to hear "We'll have none of that," as you would expect to hear from an English school Ma'am. If you combine these British mannerisms with the fact that her glasses often seem to fall down her nose and that she has a short, somewhat "round" stature, its not surprising really, that people started to call her "Nanny".
It was a short step from simply "Nanny" to "The Horse Nanny" because of the similarities between the way she disciplines horses and the way Nannies in such movies and T.V. shows as Nanny McPhee, Mary Poppins and Nanny 911 discipline children.
Cathy absolutely adores horses and has dedicated most of her professional life to them but is very firm when dealing with bad behavior. The manner in which she set limits is clear and definitive but somehow manages to make the horse feel safer and more confident even while he is being disciplined. She never settles for a less than a satisfactory outcome and believes that there is a solution to every problem.
If you combine these qualities with a lifetime spent dealing with horses of every conceivable variety from every background possible, it seemed obvious, you have a Nanny who specializes in correcting naughty and sometimes downright rude or "unmanageable" horses. This Nanny is
"The Horse Nanny"!
If you are struggling with your horse or horses' bad manners or have a special issue such as trailer loading, standing for the farrier, cross tying, leaving the barn, to name just a few, and you would like a caring, understanding, yet firm and accomplished trainer to help you address these issues, look no further!
