The purpose of this group is to bring together people that share the common interest of horses. Whether you own a horse, like to ride, just like horses, want to learn more about them, watch horse sports (racing, steeplechases, events, etc.), foxhunt, showing, or any other horse related activity, this group could provide resources for all to share and draw upon. There are many different types of horse activities represented in this area and we are blessed with an abundance of talented riders (inc …

I plan to do several rides per week with difficulty level ranging from beginner to intermediate, all skills levels are welcome.

The easy rides will occur once or twice a week and during these we will ride terrain that is …

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 …

I have always have had a love for horses, and all animals. I am a licensed massage therapist, and have complete Mark Barnes Equine Myofascial Release Therapy certification. I have been working with horses for several months, and find that it has been extremely rewarding. In addition I have started training with David Yauch, a natural horsemanship instructor. His deep understanding of horse behavior has helped me become a better body worker for my four legged friends. If you have a horse that see …

Thank you for your interest in joining DC Snowriders. We’re a group of skiers, snowboarders and outdoor enthusiasts in our 20's and 30's that love hitting the slopes (but don't let age deter you!). Let's face it, the reason you've stumbled across this page is because you love (or might be interested in) strapping 1 or 2 pieces of wood, fiberglass, and metal to your feet as you go screaming down the mountain - just to ride a rickety ol', freezing cold chair to the top to start over! We encourage …

This group was started because, in 2009, two people got interested in cycling as a recreational activity and decided to make recumbent bicycles their ride of choice. At first, we found the closest Rail Trail, but then realized the fact that there are great biking opportunities all over the place! We soon became aware that they were a little "different". One DF cyclist chided us with the remark "that looks like a birthing chair." We realized we had the last laugh - at a "rest stop"  we walked p …

We also focus on getting to races and the competitive side of the sport as well. You should join if - you want to meet other riders and take short weekend or day road trips out of the city to ride and rac …
