Tracey Bienemann

Tracey Bienemann aims to become an accomplished, well-rounded professional in the business of training and competing in the sport of eventing. She aims to achieve the ultimate honor of successfully representing the United States in the Olympic Games and other world championship competitions for eventing. Her love for horses and the sport of eventin... g, as well as skill and drive for success will help her in the journey of achieving these deep-rooted goals. So far in 2012, Tracey has placed in the top 10 in almost every event she has completed on various mounts. This includes: 3rd at New Jersey advanced, 3rd at MCTA advanced, 5th at Fairhill advanced, 10th at Millbrook advanced, 6th at Seneca intermediate, 6th at Plantation preliminary, and 7th at Waredaca training. Her excellent cross country record and consistently improving dressage and stadium phases show that as she improves further, even higher placings will follow. Most recently, Tracey has worked extensively with Steuart Pittman(working student), Sally Cousins(working student), Scott and Susanne Hassler, and Courtney Johnson-Amritt to achieve these honors. Tracey's passion for horses began at a very early age, starting riding lessons at a local barn in Pasadena at 6 years old after begging her parents for quite some time. From the start, she showed a strong connection with equines and a great athletic skill for riding. At age 7, her family bought her Paul's Legacy, a clueless 4 year old thoroughbred gelding fresh off of the training track in Bowie, MD. Tracey started showing in local hunter/jumper shows, and soon showed success in rated hunter shows on Legacy and a pony she leased, Moses. Around age 10, she joined Annapolis Pony Club, where she continued showing in hunters and began playing polocrosse and competing in rallies for dressage, show jumping and eventing on different horses and ponies. After meeting Steuart Pittman through Pony Club, eventing quickly took over Tracey's goals and dreams in riding.Read More
