What kind of information can a horse psychic provide?

Thursday, March 05th, 2009

Horse communicators receive questions from clients about every imaginable subject, from whether their horse was with them in a past lifetime to what saddle pad he likes best to why he keeps bucking after jumps. As I have mentioned, it is important that we don’t anthropomorphize our animals and assume they have the same thoughts and concerns that we humans do. That said, you might be surprised to hear some of their opinions! Many animals have very “physical” and mundane thoughts, but there are quite a number of horses who cogitate on a higher level, which includes emotions like vanity and pride. I recently spoke with a horse who’s greatest fear was that his graying pattern would turn ugly as he aged, and another who’s blanket-destroying tendencies were eliminated by the threat of a hideous plaid e-bay find. Those types tend to be the exception rather than the rule, but they are certainly entertaining, and often these animals have “larger than life” personalities.

Even if your horse does not have an opinion on what your show colors should be, there are many much more valuable insights that a horse psychic can offer:

Training problems:

Horses tend to acquiesce to our directions unless they do not understand, are in pain, or have a trauma around a certain subject. When you have are having repeated trouble working on a particular training matter, a horse communicator can often help alleviate, identify, and help you solve the problem by identifying the cause. Be forewarned that except in cases of utter misunderstanding, the horse psychic cannot simply “tell” your animal to do anything. After all, how many children follow their parents’ instructions? However, once you know the cause of a problem, it can be much easier to fix. This is particularly helpful when you have tried multiple solutions and still encounter resistance.

For example, if a horse is having trouble bending to the left, and different riders and saddles produce the same result, the horse psychic might discover that the horse has a rib out on that side and severe pain in her hock that prevents her from adequately stepping under. Or, if a horse simply refuses to step in the trailer, an equine communicator might find out that the horse was once in a wreck and needs both mind and bodywork before she is no longer afraid to load, or that he can’t handle getting into a dark place where he can’t see and a well illuminated entrance would solve the problem.

What not to expect: an animal communicator cannot simply fix a problem (usually) by talking with the animal. It requires effort and behavior modification on the part of the owner to see results. If your horse is bucking from an ill-fitting saddle, no amount of talking is going to make that horse stop hurting. However, if you know that the panels are pressing on her spine, you might be able to get a different saddle and have some chiropractic work done to alleviate the pain.

Pain:

Most animal communicators are able to identify and describe aches or pains that the animal is having. For example, a horse might complain about a sore hock or a stiff stifle, or comment that his saddle pinches his withers. Reputable equine communicators will not diagnose a problem – that is the job of a veterinarian – but they can often describe symptoms and placement of an issue. This can be useful in a horse who seems to have a “mystery lameness” or has trouble performing certain movements.

What not to expect: the horse is unlikely to know what undiagnosed disease or condition he might have. He may mention symptoms relating to that condition, or even know that there is a “wrongness” about his blood or organs, but he will not be able to say “I have leukemia.” (However, if he has something like EPSM that the vet has identified, he might offer that information!) This is no different from a person in some ways, as we are not able to diagnose ourselves without medical equipment and opinions. However, animals do tend to be more aware of their bodies and so might have insight that the owner or veterinarian does not. On the other hand, the symptoms alone can have multiple meanings, which is why it’s so important to have a veterinarian or health practitioner confirm or investigate the trouble. For instance, a horse may complain of painful hooves, but that could have a multitude of causes – thrush, navicular, a short trim, laminitis, abscess, etc. This is why a horse psychic will not offer to diagnose the problem but merely relay the horse’s experience.

To Be Continued.
