Interested in a process goal driven, systematic education system based on classical principles for all riders? Our instructor Caeli is a certified instructor and judge for the Knapamerki system. Knapamerki was developed by Holar University in Iceland in order to build and develop both the theoretical and practical knowledge of Icelandic Horse riders. The program intends to support the increased interest in the Icelandic Horse riding by increasing access to organized, systematic and detailed teaching based upon classical principles. The goal is to produce knowledgable horse people, whether their goal is recreational or competitive and support the growth of horse friendly classical riding principles in Icelandic riding.

The program is split into five levels each containing both a theoretical and practical component and spans from beginning principles to advanced training. Books, newly translated into English, are available at each level to educate the rider on the corresponding theoretical knowledge. Each level has both a ridden and theretical exam, giving participants both a goal to work towards as well as a detailed evaluation of their progress. Riders who pass the fifth level in the system are considered to be ready for advanced training opportunities such as professional work and college level equine studies at Holar University.
