As the sponsor and organizer of Dressage Infusion, Carol said: “I’m doing it for the sport. To get people excited to let them believe there is hope for the sport. I care about our community, our life here, and I want to bring these very honest very correct and very trustworthy people together here to not charge a fortune to share their knowledge. I am excited for the opportunity to facilitate sharing their knowledge. I am honored that they trust me to do so.”
Carol was impressed with an event she saw in Sweden and wanted to bring something similar to the United States. She got the idea to include Kyra, Jan, and Catherine because she was so impressed with their training and believes in their methods.
Carol believes “it’s time for the sport of dressage to turn in a very positive direction and the way to do that is through good training that focuses on the correct compassionate methods that we will see these trainers put forth during the masterclass, and hopes this will be the beginning of many such events that can help shape the future of the sport of dressage in America in very positive way.”
