Here is a little bit about Caeli:  

"Caeli was the third American to ever attend Holar University College’s Bachelor’s program in Riding and Riding Instruction, as well as one of only three Americans with a Level 3 training and certification from FEIF as well as a membership in Félag Tamningamenna, the Icelandic Horse trainer’s association. Caeli ‘s soft riding and training has earned her many Feather Prize distinctions, as well as high marks in Holar University’s program, where she graduated with the highest combined score of riding and academics in her class, as well with the honor of first class with distinction. In 2022 she received the top spot in the world for number of nominations for Good and Harmonious Riding out of 140 nominated riders pulled from 2700 riders at World Ranking Events. Additionally, Caeli was nominated for FEIF Trainer of the Year in 2019 and 2022. She was also the highest Nationally Ranked rider in Four and Five Gait competition in 2022. Additionally, as a tour member of the Knights of Iceland, Caeli has performed in shows around the country. During their North American Apassionata tour she developed a love of liberty training, which she has since incorporated into her training practice. Also an accomplished academic, she graduated Magna Cum Laude from Dartmouth College with a Bachelors Degree in Psychology during which time she co-authored two research papers on visual perception and thoroughly studied Organizational and Abnormal Psychology. Caeli seeks to integrate her love of horse training and psychology in order that horse and rider can attain peak performance in both mental and physical balance."

SPORTS

"When FEIF was formed in 1969, one of its founding goals was a set of recurring international competitions. The European Championships (first held in 1970 in Aegidienberg, Germany) matured into the World Championships (first held in 1991 in in Norrkoping, Sweden), and the need for uniform competition rules and tests was obvious, as were the training and the examining of the people to judge them."
