Following on from several recent threads. Do you believe that animal communicators can genuinely contact horses and pass on their thoughts to owners or do you think it's a clever and manipulative scam? Feel free to add explanatory posts saying why and if you believe the same about human mediums etc.

Yes I believe a GOOD AC can communicate with animals, unfortunately thought there are a lot of fakes out there giving AC's a bad name.
 
Following my readings yes I feel it is possable but as already said you will always get the cons just out to make money.

Haven't voted as didn't agree with any off the options. Would perfer a " yes I feel this is possable due to my own Reading being carried out" or alone those lines
 
I had Sara Coppin out to my horse after a bad scare out hacking. My horse was still quite traumatised several weeks later so decided to get an animal communicator out to see if she could help. Sara came very highly recommended and I had to wait several months for an appointment with her. She had been to the yard before treating one of my liveries horses but I never met her and she never met the horse. I told her nothing at all about Barney but she was spookily accurate during the 45mins she spent with him. She is also a Reiki practioner. She first saw two black saddles. I had trouble with the first black saddle I bought him, which was made to measure and the saddler swapped it for another black saddle in a different design. She then asked me why I had three farriers. I just laughed and said I don't. I have had the same farrier for years. Then I thought about it. My farrier brings a first year apprentice with him and a soon to be qualified apprentice. I have four collapsed discs and worry that as I sit to the right it may hurt Barneys back. Sara told me 'Barney says you sit slightly to the right, but don't worry it doesn't hurt him. She also said Barney had missed his dental appointment, which he had as we were on holiday. I have him done every six months and at that point hadn't rebooked. He told her his dinner was boring:rolleyes: He only gets a bit of happy hoof and carrots. He asked if he could have a bit of pasture mix and some mollichop like he always used to have. This was true, I had put him on Happy Hoof as was concerned about lami. The things Sara told me that Barney had passed on to her she couldn't possible have guessed at. I am a 57 year old cynic (or was) where these things are concerned, but to be truthful not any more. She told me where the first saddle had hurt his back, which was spot on where the chiropractor had treated him on an earlier visit. I could go on but guess most of you have fallen asleep by now:D Yes, I am sure there are charlatans out there but Sara isn't one of them to be sure. Barney also told her several times that it was a big responsibility for him looking after me when we were out riding. Cheeky devil. I have been riding since I was 8 years old:)
 
Although I am sceptical, I believe that some AC are sincere people who are trying their best for their client and if the client is happy with the service and willing to pay for it, then who cares what the sceptics think?

However, the very nature of such a profession leaves the door wide open for scammers to rip off the gullible.

AFAIK anyone can call themselves an AC and it's hard with something that's so unscientific to set standards or have a quality control system.

The people I pay to look at my horse have gone through rigorous training to get recognised qualifications. Ie the vet, the physio, the farrier, the master saddler, the experienced AI instructor. You can't just call yourself a vet without having a degree and the proper training.

Even most alternative therapy practitioners have to get officially recognized qualifications--ie acupuncturists, herbalists, aromatherapists, etc. But how do you "test" a medium to see if they are any good? It seems very subjective indeed.
 
It is a tough one. I am sceptical and have read things on here where frankly I could apply that to just about every horse I have met. I don't buy into those who can do it over the telephone or from a photo.

FWIW I had an AC come to Bailey in December 2008 when he was going through the eye trauma. I was absolutely at the end of my tether and desperate so basically went out and tried something I would never have been open minded to. He was so unhappy having been on box rest for 2 months at a little over 18 months old and it was heartbreaking watching him slowly go stir fry.

It was an eye opening experience, that's for sure. She was almost trancelike. She said Bailey had many memories about a bay mare with a white blaze - which was Bailey's mum. This I could attribute to many other horses so ignored it a little.

She also spoke about a big red and yellow machine which used to spit things. At the yard before, Bailey was kept at a farm. The farmer used to rent some of the farm out to a guy who used to log trees and woodchip them. Where Bailey was stabled meant he had to walk past the woodchipper every day, and could see it from his field. No one knew that - it wasn't what I would mention and the yard was also 30 miles from the yard we were at!

I had asked her to try and explain as best you can what we were doing and his response was, "I wish you would leave it alone, it feels better when you dont touch it" - we were still eyedropping etc. 2 weeks after this, we ended up going to the RVC because his eye wasn't recovering from any of the treatment - we were at nearly having his eye out stage. The RVC told us that he had now developed an auto immune problem whereby the eye was attacking itself and we should begin turning him out, building it up, and stop all eye drops/ointment immediately and let mother nature do its course. Nearly 2 years down the line, *touch wood* we've not had another issue with his eye which fully recovered after taking the RVC advice.

All in all, I had a good experience. But I would be very careful who I chose and go by word of mouth. I watched how other horses responded to the AC I had...every horse (even the unsociable "I hate everyone" horses) wanted to "talk" to her. It was astonishing to watch.
 
I have a funny feeling about them; after reading lots about ACs on this forum I've tried using one who was consistently mentioned as being genuine, but despite the fact they didn't say anything really wrong about my horse, I felt it was a bit generic and nothing too specific, - but at the same time - we had 2 problems and AC gave me phrases to use and it did help. I don't know. I really would like to believe in them :\
What I do believe in is that horses understand when we talk to them :) at least mine does! nutcase aren't I :)
 
As others have said some are genuine!

The person I used was spot on 100% about my two-never told her about them, nor posted on a forum about them etc so she 'had' to talk to them!

She got their characters spot on and their aches and pains

There are a few scam artists out there who prey on those who are desperate for help

There will always be people who will try and hoodwink; however I do think there are people with extreme sensitivity who have a deep (probably instinctive) understanding of what makes a type of animal tick, their understanding too of the subtley of animal communication with each other, which they interpret. I'm not sure you can 'teach' this level of sensitivity, but see no reason why people cant learn to read animal behaviour more deeply, trust their instincts and use this effectively.
Fascinating subject; think I'd be wary though of using someone I hadnt heard of except through a trusted source.
 
I am open minded as my OH had a weird experience. I was in day hospital for an op on my throat. No one knew about it as I didn't want to worry anybody. My OH had gone to work as usual and he wholesales pet supplies. He was in a shop some 50 miles from home when a customer came in, walked up to my OH and said "Don't worry about your wife, she will be fine" Gobsmacked didn't begin to cover it. If a stranger can do that with a person I think they must be able to do it with animals.
