About Katherine:

Independent, resourceful, resilient, quirky, serious caffeine addict - her motto is “My coffee is weak and now you die.” Confesses to being "a bit of a bad-ass". Much of her life in the saddle has been in the form of seven-day cattle drives taking her father's herds to their summer pasture, so up hill, down dale, across swollen rivers, it's all in a day's work for Katherine. She has just taken delivery of 4 4-year-old ex-racehorses to help her prepare for Mongolia....
