'I am the daughter of the town drunks in a small town in upstate New York and this is my story. Life started off well enough. In the beginning there wasn't even a hint of the chaos that would eventually swallow us all...' So begins the life story of Susan Bump. Although sad at times, Susan Bump's biography is ultimately a story of triumph. She overcame a severely dysfunctional family to pursue her dream of training Thoroughbred racehorses. When the dream no longer served her, she quit training and became an activist, protesting for animal and human rights. Ex-thoroughbred racehorse trainer and exercise rider, Susan Bump broke and trained horses for over 30 years. She had to quit when she realized that she was part of the problem rather than part of the solution. Susan eventually became a human and animal rights activist. A member of San Diego (California) Animal Defense team, Susan successfully protested inhumane pet stores in San Diego leading to criminal charges against the owners. She was arrested for trespassing in the small town of Valley Center, Ca. when she gave water to dying animals on a hot summer day. Her story made front page news in the local paper, The North County Times. So many animal lovers supported her in court that the newspapers called them her 'entourage.' She currently lives with her 8 wonderful dogs on a 47,000 acre, Arizona ranch in a 100-year-old adobe house in the magical town of Arivaca. There is never a dull moment in My Wild Ride. The 'untamed life of a girl with no self-esteem' offers lots of tears, but lots of laughs, too. This is her Wild Ride. 3
