The two founders (Sandra & Siggi) were both born and raised in Germany. Both received extensive training at the world-famous stallion studs throughout Germany.  Sandra is a FN- certified instructor, in addition to being an accomplished international FEI rider. Siggi has competed successfully to 4th Level in Germany and the U.S.. She has earned the Silber Reiterabzeichen and trained as Bereiter at the Redefiner Landgestuet. 

They both moved to Seattle for different reasons in 2000 and met because of Siggi's Trakehner mare Brie shortly thereafter. Since then they have been an unbeatable team when it comes to horses, riders or finding the perfect match.

The uniqueness of Cavallis is to have access to two German equestrian experts, with Sandra conveniently located in the equestrian heart of Germany -  Cologne (Germany) and Siggi located in Kirkland (WA, USA).
