Alexandra Dannennman
Consultant to Lettleiki Icelandics
Alex began her career with Icelandic horses in 1997 in her birth country of Germany. Before she moved with her family to the United States she competed with many different horses at various levels and achieved wins and placings at high level competitions in Germany and France. She competed and placed at the highest levels in Five Gait and Four Gait, including participation in the German Championships.
Having attained the IPZV Trainer B level in 2012, Alex moved on to accomplish her dream of becoming an International FEIF Judge. One of her greatest accomplishments was her success in the FEIF International Judges test in 2015, which she needed to pass in order to become a US National Judge. She achieved the highest score of all the candidates including highly experienced judges taking the test on the international judge level. It was an even greater accomplishment to pass the same test again in 2016 in Iceland for the international license. She was one of 3 people out of 30 who passed the test. Becoming an International FEIF Judge in such a short period of time has never happened before.
In 2017, Alex was nominated for the FEIF award of “Trainer/Instructor of the Year.” Despite strong competition from other countries, she won the award.
Alex currently judges competitions and teaches clinics in the United States, Canada and Europe. She is mainly stationed in Germany at the moment training our two stallions, Spaði frá Stuðlum and Boði frá Breiðholti, and our mare, Ára frá Langhólti, whom she took to the 2023 World Championships for T1 and V1.
