Horse whisperers - do you believe?

There are some people that are very much more sensitive, perceptive, receptive and have a far better sense of smell and can interoperate the signals being sent out by a horse.

Actually what you are referring to is an animal communicator, not a horse whisperer (who modifies behaviour based on, very often, body language).
I know someone who does this and she is quite surprised that not everyone can. I'll admit to being a sceptic, especially when she said my horse didn't feel he could jump these days (he has never jumped, because of pigeon toes and fetlock problems so he has no concept of jumping).
But when my cat was missing for a month I did ask her and she described the environment he was in at that time I went and called him in all the places I could think of that fitted the description and although he didn't magically appear, within 5 minutes he was crossing a neighbours garden on the way home. Coincidence? After a month away, it would be a very remarkable one.

I'm glad your cat came home safely, there is nothing worse than not knowing. Let me tell you a similar story and just as big a coincidence. My horse was getting old and had terrible knee arthritis. I used to take her on short hacks around the fields, or in hand. One nice sunny day I decided we would have one last ride up the roads and back around on the bridle path. Just before I came off the roads, I spotted a sign on a telephone pole and read the headlines as we walked past. It was about a lost cat. When I got back to the yard I saw the stray cat that had turned up on the farm out of the blue a few weeks before. I had seen it around a few times but as I had an elderly cat of my own who wasn't vaccinated, I didn't want to risk touching a stray and taking home disease. I decided to drive home the long way around which meant going back to the telephone pole with the sign on. It was about a missing cat, a long-haired tabby. Straight away I realised this was our mystery farm cat, so went back to the farm, and rang the cat's owner on my mobile. She came out and was reunited with her thin and filthy cat who had escaped from a cattery 6 weeks before. You can imagine how many tears were being shed and I was so happy that she had got her lovely, nice but dim boy home safely. It was just coincidence that I had gone out that way that day and seen the notice, and just coincidence that it was the nearest sign to the farm because no-one thought he would have travelled any further away from the cattery (it was a good 2 miles across country).
 
I've used a horse horse communicator on several occasions. I've never met him (he lives about 300+ miles away from me) and he does the communication over the phone. He has communicated with four horses and one dog, two of the horses were deceased!! I know it all sounds totally ridiculous but he was able to describe the inside of my house through my dead horses' eyes and even said that she was cross that I didn't have any pictures of her up and I was to get the photos of her out of the drawer - I had a drawer with several memory sticks with her photos on. On another occasion he was able to describe a house on the other side of the world through another (deceased) horse and even mentioned problems that they were having with plumping in the kitchen sink. I spoke to the owner of the house and the description of the house was correct and their kitchen sink was blocked and smelling!! When speaking to my dog he could descibe all sorts of things that he would have no way of knowing, down to the car I drove, our other pet dog and what the dog thought of my then boyfriend. If someone told me all this stuff I'd think that they were barking mad, but this guy is amazing and is even used by vets in his area.
 
I had one tell me that my horse's neighbor reminded her of her mother.

My horse's mother was a dark bay TB, and the neighbor is a grey Connie cross. Go figure.

That said, if this ability really exists in some people, I'd love to find one who could speak to my friend's dog. Said dog trotted off into the mist while we were hiking up a Scottish mountain and disappeared for 10 days. God knows I had traipsed all over the hill looking for her, and through the course of the week, other hikers, including a few folk on the local mountain rescue team (one with a search dog) were also keeping their eyes open for her, as I'd spammed all the mountaineering forums with 'lost dog' posts. The police notified the local farmer, etc. etc. There were no sightings for 10 days, then an outdoor ed instructor had a group of kids on the hill, and the dog appeared on the trail, only about 100m from where I last saw her!

I would love to know what she did and what happened to her for those 10 days.

I am not necessarily a skeptic, I would be prepared to believe if I was persuaded.. But how would the horses be able to describe the inside of your house anyway? They have never been inside (I assume :D)

I believe in psychics, and have been to see Psychic Sally (speaks to the dead). And considering she has an audience of 1000 people say, she does come out with some incredibly specific things that she couldn't possibly know. For example she said that she could see an older man, with white hair who had very knobbly knees. She could sense him falling and being impaled in a church, and could feel pain in the left side of his chest, she even sang a song that he used to sing to my mother when she was little. Both me and my mum knew it was my grandad, as he had indeed fallen in the churchyard once and impaled himself on the spiked church fence, he was old and grey (that's a given), and he had won competitions on Margate beach for the knobbliest knees! We stood up to say yes, we know this person and she said that he wanted to let us know that him and my nan were up there waiting on the farm, and then she said he laughed like this was a running joke. (My nan had died not too long before the show and had severe dementia, and she had said 'are we going back to the farm' in her last few minutes, despite the fact that she hadn't lived on a farm for the last 75 years. Grandad died 20 years before nan did, so how would Sally have known?)
 
I had a horse whisperer lady (initials SC) and she was incredibly accurate. First when she walked in Bails stable she said there has been an aggressive dark horse stabled next to him who Bailey hadn't liked (correct) and then she said Bailey had company in the stable, a horse who had taken the opportunity through Bailey to come and say hello. It was my lost horse Billy. He said he was sorry he had had to leave me suddenly without a goodbye, but his chest had hurt and he had left this world incredibly quickly and was sad he hadn't said goodbye. Billy was my lovely horse who had dropped down dead in the field from a suspected heart attack in front of the YO. When we went to see his body all three of us, Dad, partner and myself were crying and my partner noticed tears had run down Billys face too. Were they tears of sadness as Sarah had suggested? No one will ever know.

By this time I was crying, I was an emotional wreck anyway at this time in my life! Then she said there was a horse in the stable with wobbly legs (my wobblers boy who had been my previous horse before Bailey and whose death had affected me greatly). His death (horse No.4) had nearly sent me over the edge. It was great feeling him near me. At this stage Bailey began to nip me (SC said this was like me grabbing a friends sleeve and saying "you'll never guess what???"). He was excited at all the outpouring of news and information for me and happy that I was listening to him. All this time I was in a highly emotional state. Was I sucking up the pretence like a sponge??? No, I don't think so. I feel certain to my dying day it was real.

She also said there was an alsatian looking dog in the stable (my beloved best friend, my dog we lost in 2009). And a cat who wouldn't sit still (when it did she confirmed it was a black female cat who we'd lost 20 years before at the age of 19). That was what I needed - confirmation that she was genuine. NO ONE and I mean NO ONE had known about my cat!!

She mentioned other things that were not really of any relevance, things like Bailey saying he didn't like his flash noseband (what horse does?) a problem with an abcess in a particular foot (which has never materialized although she was certain he'd had one there) and then said that I had been giving him three supplements but had recently stopped one with a burgundy lid (red cell!!) (staggering correct again - again why mention something so trivial if she were not genuine?)

Because I'd had such rotten luck in the past and lost four horses previously to Bailey in short succession (7yrs) I was finding it very hard to bond with Bailey as I didn't feel that I could move on, nor did I have any confidence that he would not die too. So I begged her to tell me how long I would have him for. She said that he wouldn't be ridden after the age of 19 (he is currently that now and it looks like this prediction may come true) and he would die aged 21. When she gave this reading Bailey was 10 and 19 and 21 seemed like light years away. Now they are very close and to be honest, although the reading gave me great relief at the time it is causing me to worry now.

She had to stop the reading in the end as I was too far gone emotionally and I think she was a bit worried about my mental state! Hearing about Billy and Rommy had really upset me, but in a good way if anyone can understand that?

Her reading helped me tremendously as it helped me move on with Bailey, if I hadn't had it I think I would have given up on him as it took me about three years to gell with him by this stage and at times I hated him and certainly felt no love for him as I felt I was betraying Rommy.

Whether the reading was real or just a fictitious piece of made up crap I don't care. I had great comfort in her words and knowing my previous horses were still around and 'in touch' mad me feel amazingly comforted. One day when Bailey is no longer with me I will have a reading with my next horse with (SC) I will hope and pray that I get to 'hear' him once again, no doubt mugging me for his mints and liquorice! :)

Woman at a yard I was at had one out. When she booked she gave him her OTTB's registered name. She was absolutley convinced because this "horse whiperer" could tell her stuff about the horses racing history & she knew it was true because she had checked it online! So I said " did she tell you x y & z (I can use google too :) ). She was then convinced I had "powers" too, I just couldn't convince her that I had looked it up on line.
 
I once had a distance reading done, it was indeed acurate, just not for the current Appy, but the one before :) The reader had no advantage to make and was training. I do believe that some people can tune in with some animals and/or people. I worked for many years with trauma survivors and have had an experience I have disclosed on here before, of "seeing" locations before they have been told or described to me, for example the back of a wagon, an old fashioned bathroom and I have acurately described a persons mothers kitchen work surfaces, without ever having been there or met the mother. So yes I do believe that some people can communicate with horses.
 
I wish I did believe as I would really like to know more about my horse's past and why he is such an anxious soul. I would also like him to know that I have no plans to ever move him on and that wherever we go in life, I will always be there.

However, while I believe there are many, many things we don't understand about the world, I think the great majority of animal communicators are complete charlatans and I'm not prepared to part with hard-earned cash to find out which ones!

Oh yes i believe.But I also believe the world is flat,Elvis is alive and honest politician's exist.Livery had one come out the other week.She hangs on her every word.Amongst the stunning revelations were things like,horse A wants a certain colour halter,horse B wants a certain colour rug,etc.But the one that really promoted my best John Cleese wide eyed stare was the fact that my gelding was taking the mickey out of her gelding over the fence.WHAAAAT!!!.How exactly?.'You look like a Filly in that purple rug',Who cut your mane?,it looks silly','Your bum's so big it blocks out the sun'.LOL.So errrr NO!.Ok for a bit of fun,but i can think of more productive (and fun) ways of blowing £60!.

😂 your gelding taking the mickey out of her gelding!
 
I would love to have one done on my boy. I think it would be very interesting.
I'm quite sceptical though. I remember the thread on here years ago where the communicator said the horse she was 'reading' wanted to be a fireman! I mean, come on, wtaf?
 
We had one done on my darty many years ago - again pre Facebook - as he had gone down south and turned from the most biddable, rideable pony into a complete nightmare that couldn't cope with a saddle pretty much. I think the woman was in America, she was emailed a pic of said pony standing in the field in Scotland and was told his name was Freebie.

What we got back was Unreal!!! And I mean mind blowing stuff!

...

His biggest problem was that he didn't like being called Freebie, he wanted to be called Free and he wanted a red feed bucket...
 
Yes, I had a lady looked at My Boy , out of interest, and because she was on the yard. She told me numerous things, including several I did not could/ not know [horse was in a schooling yard], but which were correct.
He also enjoyed her hands on massage, he was ecstatic!

I had a lady to see my previous horse as he had a number of behavioural issues we just couldn't get to the bottom of.

She opened with 'well you haven't had him very long have you, he feels insecure at the moment'




The horse was 8yrs old at the time, I'd owned him since 5 months and he followed me everywhere like an orphan puppy and was besotted which was part of the issue.
Hence not really believing anything she said after that.

When I informed her of her mistake, she said the horse next door was very loud and it was he who had spoken to her and confused her, not my horse.

I am also a cynic about horse whisperers and spiritualists but many years a friend had a "girly night", few glasses of wine and a lady who read the tarot cards, just a bit of a laugh! She told 2 close friends that someone they knew would have a baby, an unexpected pregnancy that would bring great joy but she didn't say anything to me. We spent time comparing notes and came up with a few people they knew that I didn't. Yes, you've guessed it was me! I was not pregnant at the time, was in my forties, in a relationship but had no plans for children. Said child has just qualified as a doctor and has given me and my, now, husband so much happiness and was, I have to admit, unplanned. Unfortunately the other prediction was not good. She told my best friend that her (deceased) aunt was concerned for her health. It spooked my friend as her aunt had died quite young of breast cancer so she paid to have a complete check with BUPA, nothing was found but a couple of years later she developed breast cancer and sadly died aged 50 from secondaries. I cannot explain any of it (and there were other things too) but I won't go near any of it now having had this experience. I don't want to know about the future if I don't have control over it! Horse whisperers, well I won't have them either!

Oh yes, but they can speak English, I went to see a horse I owned, ie sold but not paid for, basically he was being abused, As I stood at the fence and he was about 50 - 60 metres away. I was not sure how to proceed and in to my head came "don't leave me here" that was all. He never said any more, never before and never again, but when I returned to see him [padlocked in a field, but now he had food and water] he trotted over to see me, and made it clear he wanted to escape.
Next time and indeed the next few times he saw me he rushed over, ignoring other folks.
I am sure there are plenty of charletons, but there are people who can communicate both with animals and with people.

This was the same horse who [previously] an animal communicator gave me a long list of his moans, including that I had hit him with a whip!!!!! Yes, I was fed up with his nonsense that day [confession] He was Champion moaner, but how did she know that after 2 to three minutes?

I believe that there's a lot of fakes out there, however I also believe that there are people who are far more perceptive to others feelings, thoughts and general vibes. I'd be really interested in having a reading done of my two deceased mares, if anyone can pm me a contact for some remote reader who I could send a photo to then I'd be very pleased to try it out :)
 
I'm not sure if people can actually read horses' minds but I do believe there are people who can read other people extremely well and also those that do have ESP so maybe it's the owners' cues and minds they have a route into? I have actually had my mind read at an evening I went to with my aunt many years ago - there was no way the person could have known the thing that was in my head - he did it to several people on very different things so it wasn't just chance/luck/easy guess. It was extraordinary and no tricks as far as I can tell. In our family there is some history of 'feelings' about events and premonitions which are unexplainable so I guess I err on the side of some things you just can't explain logically.

the one girl at our yard had a reading and her pony 'said' out of the blue to the whisperer "dont forget to do under your bed". C nearly fell over as her mum had asked her only days before to tidy her room and remember to vacumn under her bed. C nearly fainted with shock! Poor girl, one thing to have your mum nag you but a bit different for your pony to! Lol This was the same lady that did Baileys reading. some years after my reading she was on our yard again and another girl that had just had a reading from this lady ran up to me excitedly announcing that SC had seen our dog we had just had pts running up and down the yard full of glee. i was a bit sceptical on this occasion as i had announced her death on FB and candy had never really spent much time on the yard. Plus i had been led to believe that people or animals that have just passed are not able to 'come through' straight away but you never know....

A good friend of mine, let's call her Elizabeth (not her real name), a good few years ago now, had the late Julie Dicker out to "read" her horses. She started to "talk" to her old mare.

She told her things that no-one could ever have possibly have known that had happened with one of the ponies that her daughter had when she was a kid; this old mare had been around then and told her basically what had been the problem with his rearing and general behaviour - this particular horse had had to be PTS and the mare described to Julie the behaviour and what had caused it...... my friend said there was no possible way that anyone could have known the information that was given.

I might add that my friend Elizabeth is the most cynical and down-to-earth practical person you could ever meet, she has a very down to earth approach and isn't remotely open to being manipulated! But she was 101% convinced.

I knew Julie and watched her many times. She was the real thing and she did know stuff that was totally impossible to know. She worked on one of my horses that hobbled into a stable in a lot of pain and could hardly move and 20 minutes later trotted out sound. The instructions she gave to the body worker who worked with her could only have come from the horse. It was out of this world, she asked no questions, couldn't even see me and communicated only with the horse. The communication was instant, within 10 seconds she was saying he wants this, then he wants this. "THIS" comprised of moving his front legs and shoulders in ways he apparently wanted. Afterwards we all, Julie included, said why didn't we video that but none of us had any idea what was going to happen. She was also a healer. I never got too close to her when she was working on a horse. I always became very spaced out and had to sit down.

Another time she described to me how one of my horses had been hit on either side of his shoulders by a long thing attached to the reins by the rider. I had not told her the breed of horse and I think very few people what know what a Peruvian bridle looked like. When she told me this it immediately made sense of the horse. Her face was a study when I brought out the offending bridle which totally fitted her description.



As for the rest then I suspect there an awful lot of charlatans who have jumped on the bandwagon and it is not a road I would go down. If I hadn't know Julie for a long time I would have said they are all charlatans but with her you simply couldn't.
 
I am a huge cynic, and I feel rightly so - even if this is a genuine talent that people possess I suspect that the vast majority of practitioners are charlatans. However, as cynical as I am, I come across the odd story which melts my heart and leads me to question my views. Well worth a look, whether you believe or not, this is a lovely story with a touching ending.

I'm not convinced. I sold a horse to some people a few years ago which I'd owned for about 5 yrs. They had a communicator out recently and the horse supposed told them about all sorts of things that had happened to him. They thought it was amazing.... Except they were all supposed to be when I owned him & I can absolutely guarantee that not a single one of those things actually happened! Utter nonsense!
 
I'm a believer up to a point. Just because we don't understand something or can't do it ourselves doesn't mean it is not possible.

I've had two people communicate with my horse: one was rubbish, the other was truly amazing.

Yes there are loads of phoneys out there ready to fleece the desperate and the vulnerable, but there are also people (the late Julie Dicker being one of them) who have a true gift for communication on another level.
 
Something we cant explain is supernatural or a miracle. Something we can explain is merely science. Why do horses speak fluent English is an interesting question. Do we think in English is another. We have two halves to our brain , the left ,as I understand it ,basically works at an unconscious level and decisions made by it are reinterpreted by the righthand side,in English ,or the language of your choice. The system works as a filter . If our mind were bombarded at a conscious level by all the subliminal messages and information we receive every second ,we would cease to be able to function. In fact there is a school of thought that this is the cause of autism rather than being disconnected from the external world.
Horses communicate by body language . The more we are exposed to their body language ,the more our left brain learns to read it ,and we translate it via our right hand side ,into conscious thought. Some people are better than others at this. The reverse is also true ,horses learn to read our body language .
None of this is magic or mystic , it is pure derren Brown. He is exceptionally good at reading body language, But what is the difference between reading body language as thought and horse whispering .In my view there is no difference. It is called body language for a reason.
