Chef d\u2019equipe of the U.S. Dressage Team Christine Traurig<\/a>\u00a0is widely regarded as a excellent coach of riders and young horses. Born and raised in Germany on the farm where her father bred horses, Traurig developed her passion and skill for riding young horses early in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traurig, who currently resides in Carlsbad, California, has a fervent passion for helping both young riders and horses learn and commit to basic horsemanship principles. At the age of 12, she started riding at the National Riding School at Hoya with legendary trainer Otto Meyer. She rode sale horses for German National Trainer Holger Schmezer before moving to the U.S. in 1982.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1998, Traurig began training with Johann Hinnemann and later competed at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia, where the team took a bronze medal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, this Olympic coach and rider talks about the theories and techniques that launched her onto the international stage and helped her educate numerous riders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Developing Young Horses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. For all horses, but especially young ones, Traurig said you can promote relaxation and rhythm by riding lots of trot\u2013canter\u2013trot transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. The concept of relaxation has two components. \u201cRelaxation means the horse is physically and mentally free of tension.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Apply the same warm-up structure to each horse. Traurig uses her warm-ups to confirm the fundamental aids to loosen, supple and straighten her horse. This includes driving, containing and bending aids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Young horses must learn to go and stay forward while remaining calm. \u201cYour horse\u2019s desire to go forward must be greater than your need to remind him,\u201d Traurig said. \u201cBut he must stay calm in his mind and loose in his body.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. You must teach a young horse to clearly understand the difference between yielding versus bending on a circle, Traurig noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Do not teach collection to a young horse too early. \u201cUse exercises that naturally encourage collection without mentally forcing it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. In a dressage saddle, she reminds riders to maintain three points of contact with their horses: your legs, seat and the bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. \u201cYou want your horse to move off, around and ahead of your inside leg,\u201d Traurig said regarding a horse\u2019s ideal response to inside leg pressure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Make straightness a priority. \u201cYou always want to get your horse straight. This is a prerequisite to correct flexion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10. To straighten your horse, Traurig suggested aligning him from poll to tail while keeping his neck centered between his shoulders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

11. Remember the specific role of each rein. \u201cThe inside rein indicates direction,\u201d she said. \u201cThe outside rein executes direction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12. As your horse\u2019s rider, it\u2019s your responsibility to address her strengths and weaknesses. \u201cEvery horse has a soft side and a stiff side. It\u2019s our job to deal with that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
“You want your horse to move off, around and ahead of your inside leg,” Traurig said regarding a horse\u2019s ideal response to inside leg pressure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Collection and Shoulder-Fore<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

13. As you work toward collection, don\u2019t forget about the necessity of forwardness. \u201cYou need the forwardness because you must have something to collect.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

14. You can use exercises like shoulder-fore and 10-meter circles to naturally encourage collection. Traurig noted that leg yielding is also useful because it teaches a horse to go forward with a degree of sideways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

15. Encourage your horse to cover ground. \u201cYou should feel in your seat that your horse is working from his hind end toward the bit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16. When teaching a young horse shoulder-fore, try this exercise: Ride down centerline. Leg yield to the rail. Ride a 10-meter circle. Create a \u201cbaby\u201d shoulder-in. If your horse loses forwardness and impulsion, straighten him and go forward. The leg yield makes him move away from the inside leg, the circle ensures he understands the direction of the front end and the shoulder-in combines those two ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

17. Stretching is important in every schooling session, but don\u2019t let your horse think it\u2019s a break from work. \u201cStretching is not supposed to be associated with quitting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

18. Do not underestimate the value of a 20-meter circle. \u201cThe work toward half pass actually begins on the 20-meter circle. This is because you are dictating the placement of the forehand in front of the hind end.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
\u201cYou should feel in your seat that your horse is working from his hind end toward the bit,” Traurig said about encouraging your horse to cover ground.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Establishing Trust<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

19. The horse must find trust in the rider\u2019s aids. \u201cWhen we talk about trust, it\u2019s important to be clear about how that is developed,\u201d Traurig said. \u201cHandling must be done in a very experienced way so the horse can trust the outcome of the influence. This should be coupled with the rider working toward obedience and respect. The horse needs to know that when he responds in a correct way, there is a reward.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

20. Always consider your horse\u2019s age and stage of training and adjust your expectations accordingly. \u201cSubmission is willingness to cooperate, but what creates the willingness to cooperate? Obedience. All of this must be done in relation to the horse\u2019s age and stage of training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

21. \u201cEnergy from the hind engine must be coupled with mental and physical suppleness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

22. Always encourage the hind leg to become more weight-bearing. To activate your horse\u2019s inside leg, she suggests this exercise: Ride a figure-eight. Bring your horse\u2019s haunches around the bending inside leg to activate the inside hind leg. Notice how this makes the horse more supple and flexible behind the saddle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
