Boghi at recent Catherine Haddad clinic
Catherine Haddad Staller came back to Patrick and Lani Tigchelaar's farm in Va for a short notice clinic June 6 and 7th and Boghi and I were lucky enough to be able to attend! She was very happy to see Boghi's new way of going and congratulated me for sticking with him! Yay! Those not familiar with Catherine, she is a very clear and communicative instructor with more tools in her toolbox than anyone I have ever ridden with. She ALWAYS has the right solution. She is a MUST to audit or ride with if you can get the chance. And the chances will go up as she is now married to an American and will be moving back to the States next year!!! Maybe she will have time to make it here to North Carolina for a clinic at LNDC!
