Straight from the horse’s mouth: blog of a Horse Communicator

Sunday, January 04th, 2009

Horse communicator. Horse psychic. Horse intuitive. Many names are given to those with the ability to communicate with our equine friends. By speaking with the horse directly, these people are able to resolve behavioral and training issues, locate pain and discomfort, explain and describe to the horse what is being asked, and voice his or her feelings back to the owner. Working with a horse communicator allows both horse and person to discuss and negotiate solutions for a better partnership.

I prefer the term “equine intuitive” or “equine communicator,” as these lack the stigma and new age skepticism that “horse psychic” evokes. No matter the label, the meaning is quite clear: these people profess to empathically communicate with horses. I am one of “these people,” and I have established this blog to provide answers to the inevitable questions my vocation inspires.

I am also by nature a skeptic, and intend to clarify the process of equine communication and debunk many of the misguided but well intentioned theories surrounding the technique. I will provide tips and recommendations on better understanding what your horse may be saying – a valued and admired trait that many long time horsemen seem to intrinsically develop.

Most importantly, I will relay stories and anecdotes from my conversations with horses and their people to illustrate common problems and the often simple solutions that resolved them. I will include advice and suggestions that I give to my clients that will aid in strengthening the relationships with your own horses. Some tales will make you laugh out loud. Others might draw tears. All will undoubtedly challenge you to reconsider how you view horses, and hopefully raise your estimation of their intelligence and understanding of the world we share.

Bookmark this page and check back frequently for updates. Until then, kick back in your chair and enjoy this equine communicator’s blog. These tales are straight from the horse’s mouth.

How do horse communicators talk to animals?

Friday, January 09th, 2009

Horse communicators are sometimes viewed with suspicion or disbelief. The idea of someone striking up a conversation with a horse is odd, at best, yet many owners have set aside these prejudices aside in the face of overwhelmingly accurate and helpful information. So how in the world do equine intuitives actually talk to horses?

To answer this question, we first need to look at how animals talk to each other. Many animals have the ability to produce sounds. They can neigh, bark, howl, growl, shriek, chirp, buzz, purr, or croak. While these are useful additives to communication, only in cheesy movies do animals express their every sentiment through a vocal noise. We’ve all seen the horse films where every scene contains a plaintive whinny or an angry snort, and raised a skeptical brow at these theatrics. Similarly, horse communicators do not neigh or nicker to their clients; nor do they whisper in some secret equine language.

Body language is prevalent among the animal kingdom as well, and a common misconception is that a horse psychic will simply observe the horse’s behavior and make educated guesses as to their preferences from this display. Some feelings of chicanery accompany this misunderstanding, as if the horse communicator were simply cold reading the animal for obvious signs of personality. While charlatans certainly are present in any profession (consider how many doctors, lawyers, or teachers you wouldn’t approach for advice or treatment), a genuine equine intuitive goes far beyond observing the animal. Often times the animal need not even be present during the session, which debunks this theory entirely. In fact, most horse communicators will only use body language to prove or demonstrate their assertions to the owner, for example gently pressing on a sore area of the back where the horse is experiencing pain, so that the owner may observe the reaction.

While body language explains many animal interactions, it is still not the primary form of communication among animals. Telepathy, the mental exchange of pictures, words, and feelings, is the language of the animal kingdom, and this is how horse psychics communicate with animals. Instinctively, humans know this – how often are talking animals depicted in our society, from the Lion King to lolcats? Unfortunately, the label of “telepathy” is offsetting to most people, myself included. It reeks of the occult and The Psychic Network, which are laughable farces to some and downright insidious to others.

If you find the name troubling, instead consider the meaning and its application in your life. Have you ever picked up the phone and knew who was calling without caller ID? Have you ever had someone on your mind and then had them contact you? In the animal kingdom it is even more evident: birds can flock by the thousands next to a watering hole, and a single attack from a crocodile will ignite them into flight as one, even those a quarter mile away. Fish can school by the hundreds of thousands, moving as one mind with no visual clues or signals. A herd of horses can graze peacefully, yet take off at the drop of a hat if one senses danger. This is telepathy at its most instinctual and primal level. If every horse were to pause, listen and try to locate the source of danger, they would eaten be before they could ever run to safety. Instead, they rapidly transmit the information while simultaneously fleeing.

Even in the modern world where domesticated animals have little to fear, telepathy is still the most prevalent form of communication. It may surprise you that your animals are constantly sending information to you and their non-human family members. Have you had an elderly pet who may not be up to playing rough anymore, and even the most rambunctious youngster softens his antics? Have you ever been engrossed in your work, yet out of the blue remember that the dog hasn’t gone out for a few hours, or that you didn’t clean the litterbox? Have you lost track of time at your job and realized that you must go home because the horses need to be fed? When your mind is so otherwise occupied, where do these thoughts come from? They come from your animals.

Horse communicators learn how to interpret these messages, and to send and receive information that can be put to use on the horse’s behalf. While everyone has this ability, the equine intuitive has honed and refined the skill to the point of holding actual conversations and two way dialogue with horses and other animals. It is a skill like any other: a child can understand when there are few or many pieces of candy, but it takes learning and study to master calculus. The equine communicator uses intuitive skill to empathically receive data from the horse. That is why the information is so accurate and beneficial. Who better than the horse to tell you of his troubles? An equine intuitive just knows how to listen.

Equine communicator methods: working from a photograph

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

Horse communicators often have particular methods for their sessions based on individual preference. Some equine communicators work solely from live animals, others with a photograph, and some from simply a physical description of an animal. I find all three to be useful depending on the circumstance, though using a photo has become my primary approach. This way, I am able work with clients across the globe and not be limited by distance.

The photo method has its downsides as well. Many people who accept animal communication have trouble embracing the photo method, believing that physical proximity is necessary for the horse psychic to properly connect. I can understand the reasoning behind this misconception, but I would draw your attention back to the example of the birds flocking by a waterhole. If a gator snaps one up, the whole flock takes off, regardless of how close they are to the victim. Distance simply isn’t a component of animal communication.

Sure, but those birds are all in the same general vicinity. What if you’re miles away, or across the globe? I have clients all over the United States and Canada, and I am easily able to connect with all of their horses. Location is irrelevant to the process, other than a way to help identify the correct animal (I might verify with a horse that he is a bay who lives in Texas, for instance).

If you’re still having trouble accepting this idea, look to the scientific world for explanation. As humans learn more about the world through quantum physics, we discover that many of the concretes we take for granted, like time and distance, are human constructs. Einstein’s theory of relativity and string theory both explain this concept. If applied to animal communication, the idea that distance is relative and flexible means that thoughts (which are just bits of energy) will not be affected by the space between them, so it makes no difference how close the two beings are. Even modern science supports this aspect of telepathy.

Other skeptics will get stuck in the notion of talking to a photograph, which is a single point in time. I have been asked how a horse communicator can possibly connect with an animal when the picture isn’t recent, or if the animal depicted is sleeping. This is a little harder to explain, but I am not actually talking to the photograph: I am talking to the animal, not the computer graphic or piece of paper. The photo is only a snapshot that allows me to identify the intuitive “pattern” of the animal.

Some photos are easier to work with than others, and I find those that clearly show some of the animal’s personality to be the most helpful. I also like to see the animal’s eyes, which helps me “see” them better. After all, even if you have a picture of yourself in a ski suit, climbing a mountain, or in a bikini, the essence of you doesn’t change – just your outfit. By the same principle, an equine communicator can connect to your horse using “only” a snapshot. For far away clients or quick followups, this is an invaluable tool.
