If Catherine had a superpower, what would it be: teleportation

A fun fact about Catherine: Catherine has been riding since over 35 years. She has learned to ride in Europe and has been an eventer. As her hair started to show gray colors, she felt that Eventing became too dangerous and became a Dressage rider. She also learned positive reinforcement with horses and loves to teach tricks to her horses.
