Career

Angelika Trabert was born on 9 October 1967 in

Paralympic classification of grade II.[2]

Her first individual victory came at the 2009 European Para-Dressage Championship in Kristiansand, Norway, in the freestyle competition.[3] She also won gold in the freestyle grade II on her horse Ariva-Avanti at the 2010 FEI World Equestrian Games in Lexington, Kentucky with a score of 75.900.[4] She has also competed at five Summer Paralympic Games from the 1996 Games in Atlanta, Georgia, onwards. Across three separate Games, she has won three silver medals and a bronze.[1][5] In 2018, the National Cowgirl Museum and Hall of Fame inducted her.[6]

In addition to her equestrian career, Trabert works as an

Anaesthetist, a job she takes leave from in order to compete in Para-equestrian.[2] This role has led to her not only working in Germany as a doctor, but also travelling to Africa to provide medical care in rural communities.[5]
