Biography
La Cavallieri Academy wasn't always such a big facility. It started as a small riding center founded by Nicoletta Cavallieri two hundred years ago. When it burnt down many generations later, Pietro Cavallieri transformed it into an academy in memory of his late wife, a fine rider and loving soul. It has been passed on from father to son ever since -- each new owner putting their own spin on it. Currently belonging to Fabio and Carolina Cavallieri, an atmosphere of ambitious competivity reigns on the academy.

Staff Members
• Carolina Cavallieri, 55, owner and instructor. Carolina, a Monte Vista native, has always been attracted to horses and some say she was riding before taking her first steps. Growing up in a small farm, she dreamed of a richer life and saw riding as her way out. Very early on, she started competing with her grandfather Guiseppe's farm horses until she was noticed by Luigi Cavallieri, who, impressed by her ambition and technique, offered her a spot in his academy. With choice Selle Francais horses now at her finger tips, she quickly climbed to the top. Her biggest success though was the admiration of Luigi's son, Fabio. Through marriage, she finally reached the social status she had always wished for. She's now retired from the competing circuits and teaches new Cavallieri academy riders.
• Ermete Cavallieri, 27, stable hand. Son of Carolina and Fabio, he was never into all the competing his mother was so passionate about. Ermete, simply likes making horses happy, grooming them, lunging them, mucking out their stalls. He occasionally takes them on trail rides after big events to relax their muscles and minds.
• Mathew Harvey, 30, instructor. Mathew, originally from Hidden Spring, encountered Carolina when he was just 20 and immediatly received a spot in the academy. However, he very quickly realized that he liked teaching more than riding himself. Of course, Carolina didn't want to lose such a talented man and offered him a job as instructor in her academy. His even temper and patience makes him a favorite of new students.

Description

Our Dressage arena entirely made of stone features beautiful arches allowing riders to take in the surrounding views.
