Bernville, PA - March 5, 2003 - Another Chance 4 Horses, Natural Horse Magazine, and Maiden Springs Farm have teamed up to present ‘A Natural Way’, a weekend of education and fun to benefit rescue horses and horses everywhere.

This unique 2-day horse care seminar is being held the weekend of April 12th & 13th, 2003 at Mountain Springs Rodeo Resort in Shartlesville, PA. Thanks to an idea by Another Chance 4 Horses Rescue and Placement president Christy Sheidy and the generous donation of Rich Miller’s Rodeo Resort, ‘A Natural Way’ came to fruition. With the help of Randi Peters (Natural Horse Magazine) and Cate Stoltzfus (Maiden Springs Farm), an impressive list of speakers has been scheduled to present and demonstrate on topics concerning health and welfare for the whole horse – from head to tail.

Attendees will enjoy learning from each day’s expert speakers and their various presentations for the modest donation of only $5/day per person (children under 8 free). Additional donations are welcome. All proceeds go to Another Chance 4 Horses Rescue and Placement. All speakers, volunteers, and planners are donating their time and efforts.

Plans include door prizes, a drawing, vendors, and food for sale. Books, videos and numerous other items will be available for sale.
