Pass The Salt & Pepper So I Can Eat my Hat - Annimal Communicator

I had a similar(ish) experiance a while ago,
there is a very sweet old man who comes to our yard about twice a year (he must be in his 70/80's!)
We all call him the 'magic man' :D
There is a horse at our yard who has a funny pelvis - the bone on one side sticks up alot!
this man just stood behind him, did not touch him at all, not once. And no word of a lie the bony lump on his pelvis moved down to the same height as the bone on the other side in front of my eyes, I was absoloutly gobsmacked!
I have a video I might upload later if I can work out how :rolleyes:
another time a man had fallen off, (luckily) while this man was there, the man had very obviously dislocated his shoulder. the magic man never touched him just looked him in the eye & all of a sudden you heard this pop & the guy that had fallen off screamed - his shoulder had gone back in ?!?!
ever since I have been a believer, glad more people are gaining from it :D

Is he called John?

If so I had him do our mare - it was quite amazing to watch. There is nothing particularly wrong with her but he took one look at her and said "she's crooked" - if you look at her carefully, one eye is higher than the other. After a 'healing' she was alot more balanced and happier. Even if people don't believe in what he does, it is worth trying it just in case. :)
 
ChavHorse, why don't you try a 'Micklem Bridle' - sorry if this has already been suggested. It is a very different bridle with shaped and padded headpiece to be soft of the poll and it has no throatlash as such but a mid strap and the noseband again is set to avoid all the nerves in the face. This can be used as a drop or cavesson and has a lunge ring on it.
It is a 3 in 1 bridle and you can use it conventionally with a bit or with the extra leather work supplied turn it fron a conventional bridle into a Dr Cook style cross over bitless bridle or a less severe side pull bridle.
I love mine - they are quite expensive and sold by Rambo - Horseware. If you Google them you will see what they are like. It would just give you all the options on one kindly designed bridle.
Good luck - fab communication!
 
OP, I'm so glad you had such a positive experience. :)

I wonder if riding in just a plain headcollar and rope would work, or a rope halter and "reins"?

Do you tend to ride mostly from the seat anyway? If you can get to the point where the bridle is only for flexion and emergency halt, you might feel a lot more comfortable in a bridle which has no particular breaks, if you know what I mean.

Maybe look at getting him schooled to woah with pressure on a neckstrap?
 
Great post Chavhorse :)

A friend had a communicator to her horse & the mare communicated: "i don't want you to put that rug on me that is too tight"
friend asked "which rug one is it?"
To which the horse communicated: "you know which one, its so tight you have trouble doing it up"
Which was true!

An Instructor I know was working at a yard and one of the liveries there had a communicator out.
The 17.2 Gelding communicated that he was upset that people laughed at the size of his willy. (it was very small for the size of him) and apparently the staff at the yard did use to go on about it!?!

I am tempted every now and again to have someone see my boy out of interest...he's such a cheeky happy horse, im pretty sure that he would just tell her to tell me, he has an incurable disease that can only be cured by 10 packets of polos a day ;)
 
Well I had one who did a reading because she was here for someone else. I had to hold other persons horse and the AC asked me if I'd be ok because of my ankle. Yeah. She said, you really should have had that set. I did break it when learning how to gallop but didn't want anyone to know. Anyway, when trying to read said horse, she told owner she got zilch from him. That sums up that horse to a tee.

We were all having a cup of tea in the barn when AC stopped talking in mid sentence and zipped down the barn aisle to my mare Abba. She said who is this, she has amazing energy. Then asked if she could read her. Yeah, off you go. AC looked at me and said by the way the injury was neck not head and you don't have to keep worrying it will be fine. Then she said does she have a sister that left this world name beginning with D? And then said you need to quit worrying so much, she is happy and no she probably won't get over the blanket thing.

Here's the other side of the story. I had only just moved here and hadn't given anyone my lifes history yet. Abba presented with a head injury at 2 1/2 months of age. Spinning in circles and couldn't see. To make long story short it was either head or neck injury and treatment and outcome would be the same even if we wanted to do expensive testing. She lived and has had no issues. Abba's sister was killed by another mare at 3 weeks of age. Her name was Daphne. She hangs around apparently. Abba got freaked out in a field one day with her new rug, hopped several fences, and was caught 2 miles away. Won't wear rug in field to this day. Small turnout pen and stable are fine. So yeah I always worry about her.

Needless to say I was surprised and freaked out.

Horsegirl - I realise it is not a rare occurance that horses are kicked but given that she had the perfect out of "rough handling during the initial breaking in" to go off on a "his mother was kicked in the belly whilst pregnant with him at the stage his teeth were budding and he was flooded with adrenalin" then to find out that yes in fact this happened (I had no idea at all this was the case) was freaky to say the least. She also clearly described not only my favourite Blue Fleece (I was not wearing it) and my dogs favourite soft toy so yep I think she actually did get a lot of things right.

Naturally - we have goine back to basics in a side pull and he is doing fantastically well, he is even holding quite comfortably a rubber bit with no chomping or attempting to get his tounge over the bit....trainer was long reining him today and he did all gaits long and low with no head raising at all. Jan has also put a very loose link of bailer twine (he loves his bailer twine!) between each side of the the side pull and the bit rings so he is getting the smallest amount of rise on the bit .....so far this is going well....small steps. He will increase the pressure very slowly and see what the reaction is. Ideally he wants to get him to a stage of not panicking when something is not right. If we can not do this with even the mildest amount of pressure in his mouth, then yes we are both decided that bitless is the way to go.

Jan is also working hard on whoa from voice only and had him going from lope to stop with an automatic back up on a vocal whoa so all good stuff.

We have booked him in to see our Holistic Vet on the 10th March to have a full workup just to see if there is anything underlying.

HBF - love it so even horses are sensitive about the size of their equipment:-)

Equilibrium Ireland - great story.

As I have said before I was a complete and utter sceptic and let her communicate with him in a sort of cynical "fill your boots love" kind of way....so finding out that actually she had got something from him that I had no idea about which has been confirmed has indeed freaked me out.
 
Great post Chavhorse :)

A friend had a communicator to her horse & the mare communicated: "i don't want you to put that rug on me that is too tight"
friend asked "which rug one is it?"
To which the horse communicated: "you know which one, its so tight you have trouble doing it ;)

And yet she couldn't describe the rug? Strange :)
 
Ha - well there you go. Enjoy the hat.

I get a lady called Isobel Hogton. Last time she turned up at the yard to see Bramble, she told me just as we were walking from her car when she arrived that Link was very sore on his right foot and he would prefer not to go out today.

There having been nothing wrong with him the day before I had no idea what was going on....and when I went straight away and got him from the field he had over reached and taken a massive chunk out of his right heel bulb

Now I know she had not seen them - saw her drive in, and they weren't visible from the road.

That was spooky.
Isobel Houghton was reading another horse at the yard, and out of curiosity I asked her to spend an hour with my boy, who was at a new place for schooling, it was impulse, I brought him in from the field, he was a bit stiff [observed] so she said she would massage him as well, he loved the massage and loosened up.
She told me all sorts of things, and to be honest they were nearly all complaints [which is just like him], smelly drains in his new field [he is very sensitive to smells], another horse was biting him and he did not like it [typical him], he liked his new rider with short dark hair [his new trainer] but she had a sore back [this turned out to be true]. He missed his best friend, a grey, [another complaint!], I had hit him with a whip [he absolutely hates this and now grunts if I even tap him on the belly, but will accept the schooling whip!]
He told her I was very worried [I had been asked to find a new home for him ].
All in all I was pretty much converted, OK she might have picked up on some stuff, and some were generalisations, but some things I had no idea about myself, and the general demeanour was spot on with him. She charges £85.00 otherwise I would have him done again, and he still presents his bum when he needs a massage.
