A friend of mine wanted to get into riding and I started her working with my horses. As part of it she wanted to bring in an animal communicator to help her get started. I guess the lady was someone she used all the time for her cats. While I am open minded and I’ve seen people truly communicate with animals this lady was a hack. (As a side note the people I’ve known who were true communicators charged a heck of a lot less then this lady). I had been looking forward to it because I was interested in possibly learning new techniques to help with bonding.
My ara-appy that I’d had for about 20 years at the time and who is normally really friendly took an instant dislike to her. He stood between us the whole time and wouldn’t let her get near me. It is the only time I have ever seen him bare his teeth at anyone. To maintain safety I took him to the other side of the pasture so they could communicate with my more laid back horse. Needless to say it was a one time visit.
I’d be willing to try it again, but definitely with someone different.
A friend of mine is a communicator. She has spoken with my 2 horses several times. She works long-distance – she was in Oregon, my horses and I were in Colorado. A couple times she talked to my gelding then reported back to me, but one time we did it ‘real-time’ – I was on the phone with her, and in the paddock with the horses. When I asked a question, she said that my gelding replied before she ‘translated’ it to him – he understood my questions as I spoke them.
One question was about how I could help him learn to trust, to overcome his history of abuse. That was my intent, but my words were more like "What can I do to make your life better?" He answered "More apples, but the green crunchy kind" I still dissolve into giggles when I think about this. That boy never turned his nose up at a food treat, even if it was a limp semi-dehydrated carrot or apple core. If he really meant that, I guess he was just expressing a preference, though he would gladly accept any kind of food treat.
One thing she said was that he needed to know that I was totally mentally with him all the time. Of course, not many of us do that consistently. He got badly scared once, and what he told her after that incident was that he "didn’t know where (I) went". Suddenly I was just a weight on his back, not *me*, not *there*, because I was thinking about something else instead of being mentally with him. I knew exactly what happened and exactly when, after she told me that. A tall weed brushed his side, he got startled, I had been chatting with my friend, then I was focused on regaining my balance, and his startle became a several sideways jumps and a full-blown bolt.
When I asked about his past abuse, she said that he stopped using words because he got too scared to ‘talk’. He couldn’t talk, but he sent her pictures. She described in excruciating detail the pictures – a skinny man in a dirty Tshirt and dirty bib overalls and dirty shoulder-length blond hair, tied the horse to a rail and beat him with a knob-handled walking stick. He had no idea why he was being beaten.
My sweet mare had a few things to say too. She thinks of me as her sister, and she is "fascinated" with little kids. This was reported to me before the communicator heard anything about how my mare would snuffle up and down when she met a child age two or less.
This was not something I paid for – she wasn’t telling me what I want to hear in order to get more money from me. In gratitude for stimulating my "hmm, could it be…?", I made a fancy rope halter for her horse, but we didn’t have any contract or agreement starting out.
She told me that her own mare expressed a preference for a rope halter because she "doesn’t like the heavy, clanky kind".
I believe she is honest. I believe she was in touch with the horses in a way that I haven’t been. Beyond that, I don’t know how much I believe about it, but I enjoy pondering the possibilities.
