Cats are unique among all companions who live with humans, not only for a strong remembrance of their wild heritage, but also for the depth of relationships of which they are capable. Alternately worshiped, vilified, tolerated, and loved, throughout the ages this small animal has remained unwavering in their loyalty to humans - but always on their terms. Those who have experienced a complete relationship understand the abilities of these sensitive and intuitive creatures. This Meetup is designed …

The purpose of this meetup is to share the wonders of Natural Horsemanship. This type of training has received a lot of publicity, thanks to John Lyons and The Parelli's. It is a very simple concept, however it can be very new and strange for some. A lot of it (in my opinion) is based on intuition. Which suits me, as I am also a Reiki Master. Check out my website http://www.2020horsemanship.com or my blog, http://www.thenaturalhorseman.blogspot.com for more information on natural horsem …
