Amelia's Grassroots Giving Back Fund

As you know, my mantra is ‘Dressage for All’. I believe that every rider, regardless of their horse’s breed, saddle you ride in, discipline, or where you live: every horse and rider can do (and benefit) from dressage.

How this Developed

During the last few years, a few local dressage-focused organizations have asked for donations for their year-end fundraisers (usually as a silent auction item), which I have readily given.

And it got me thinking: there are hundreds of small, local organizations, clubs, and non-profits that support dressage education at a smaller, local scale. Those organizations are the foundation and grassroots of our sport.

These organizations are the ones putting on schooling shows, bringing in clinicians, and creating a love of dressage in riders. These grassroots organizations are usually run by volunteers and rely on the support of the local community to keep running. 

Without them, we don't have dressage in our local communities...

What This Fund is About

Amelia’s Grassroots Giving Back Fund is all about supporting and giving back to the grassroots organizations that do so much for our sport.

I have allocated 100 online workshops to give out to grassroots dressage organizations this year (to be used in silent auctions, given out with a year-end award, etc).

A group of people sit in rows of chairs indoors, attentively watching something off-frame. Many hold notebooks or papers, suggesting they are taking notes at a Grassroots Giving seminar or event.
