Angelika Liebermeister
Horse Trainer FT, Horse Trainer C - IPZV
In her childhood Angelika was always very interested in animals, especially in horses, so she started horseriding at a very young age. Ever since then she gained a lot of experience with hundreds of horses (mainly on Icelandic horses), regularly attended courses and trainings, and gained experience in multiple directions (such as ground-/ lungework, horsetrail, trecking and endurance riding, mounted games, Chiron-jumping, classical dressage, gait courses, and many more). She also qualified and worked as a pre-school teacher, remedial teacher and therapeutic horse-riding teacher SGTR
Since 1991 she visited Iceland regularly and worked there in farming and horse training on different farms. Angelika was trained in Hólar (www.holar.is) and "Reiðmaðurinn" according to Reynir Aðalsteinsson.
In 2008 Angelika moved to Iceland full-time and is now working mainly as a young horse trainer and horse-riding teacher for children and adolescents of the Freyfaxi riding club.

Þorsteinn Gústafsson
Business economist, retired teacher from Menntaskóli Egilsstaðir
Þorsteinn has „retired“ in the meantime from his job as a teacher and ever since then works as a full-time farmer in Geirastaðir. He is very interested and talented in repairing old cars and machines so they can be used again, which is why there are quite a lot of such old cars and machines on the farm :).
Þorsteinn spent all the summers of his childhood on farms and took up horse-riding again about 30 years ago, which also meant to keep horses himself and breed them. He spent many summers as a guide for mountain hikes and self organised horse-riding tours across the country with friends, such as the 1000km long tour from Egilsstaðir to Hella and all the way back in 2004.
2003 his long-cherished dream of his own farm came true by buying the farm Geirastaðir.
