Christine Traurig continues helping Heather Bender develop more suppleness in her 9-year-old KWPN Keisha B and has the pair practice bent lines and transitions to address the mare’s rectangular format. Through a series of shoulder-in exercises, Traurig encourages Bender to be relentless about seeking a better bend.
Christine Traurig is the current Chef d'Equipe and Technical Advisor and Development Coach of the U.S. Dressage Team and has been a part of the U.S. Dressage Pathway programs for more than a decade. She was named Chef d'Equipe in late 2023 and helped the U.S. Dressage Team earn team gold at the 2023 Pan American Games in her championship debut with the team, before leading her first Olympic team at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Traurig also had a successful career as a dressage athlete, representing the U.S. at the 2000 Olympic Games aboard Etienne, where they helped the team earn bronze.
