"Dear Mr. Boomer: Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to tour the different training facilities in Europe. Their riding is excellent and I feel so privileged to have been a part of the Olympic Dream Program. Thank you for everything that you and the Dressage Foundation does for the dressage community."
"Dear John, I wanted to thank you so much for making this trip happen. I had such a great time meeting and watching these top Dressage Riders. The trip was very educational and I feel that I have come home a better rider. Thanks again to all those who give so much to us Young Riders and I hope they all know that it means so much!"
"The Fort Worth Dressage Club would like to thank The Dressage Foundation for their generous grant to FWDC for our Adult Camp. Without you this Camp could not have happened."
"Dear Members of The Dressage Foundation,
I write to you in utmost gratitude for granting me the opportunity to participate in the Jr/YR Clinic Series with George Williams. It was an amazing weekend- educational, inspirational and truly a blast! It is a wonderful organization you all run and we are so fortunate as riders and dressage enthusiasts to be able to take advantage of such opportunities. I certainly would not have been able to do it with out the help from the Foundation."
"Thank you to the Dressage Foundation for supporting our event. GMO members who would not normally participate in this type of learning environment found that they made important breakthroughs in their communication with their horse and were inspired to continue learning and improving their horsemanship. The discussions about the training pyramid at lunch each day encouraged a healthy dialogue and inspired questions like why is there not a training pyramid for riders?"
"Thank you to the Dressage Foundation for granting us the financial help t put on this clinic for our local dressage community. We are in a fairly rural agricultural area of central California. Cows are a BIG business here, not horses. So, because of the grant from the Dressage Foundation, we were able to offer this clinic to CDS members in the Central region at a reasonable price and fairly close location. That is why we were able to fill the clinic slots almost immediately. Please let your Board know the grants (even the little ones) are promoting dressage and dressage education that would not be attainable to many in the rural areas."
"Thank you very much Dressage Foundation, and Carol Lavell for providing me and the other amateurs awarded a Gifted scholarship the opportunity of a lifetime to take a whole week off to train and ride dressage and not have distractions of work, family or pressing obligations."
