The Dressage Foundation Moves to New Headquarters

(August 6, 2010)  The Dressage Foundation, founded in 1989 by Lowell Boomer of Lincoln, Nebraska, announced today that it has moved to a permanent office location in downtown Lincoln.  The office space was purchased with restricted donations from donors in honor of Lowell Boomer’s 99th birthday this fall.  The new office address is 1314 ‘O’ Street, Suite 305, Lincoln, NE 68508.

“It has been my father's wish to anchor The Dressage Foundation permanently in Lincoln, to secure the future of Foundation as a ‘stand alone organization, which is neither enmeshed in the organizational structure, nor entangled in the politics of any other equestrian organization,’” said John Boomer, retired President and CEO of The Dressage Foundation.

“With the help of a small, select group of donors, we have been able to bring this dream to reality,” said Melissa Filipi, Development Director for the Foundation.  “We worked closely with Nebraskans, or former-Nebraskans -- those whose families studied and trained with Lowell – as well as long-term, close personal/equestrian friends of his to get this job done.  We are very excited to be moving to our new home, it’s a wonderful way to honor Lowell Boomer, as well as being a very smart financial decision for the future of the Foundation.”
