I cannot get over the below story & what some people will believe!

A (quite well respected and experienced) horsey lady known to a friend of mine recently paid about £60 for a 'horse whisperer/psychic' to come and 'talk' to a gelding she was having trouble with.

The 'whisperer' basically told her that the gelding was 'gay' and that he was upset because everyone on the yard was laughing at him because he was dressed in pink. (he had a pink rug).

Why would you pay money to be told that! And what difference would it make anyway!

Pointless post but I had to share!

If he was gay I would have thought he'd quite like wearing a bit of baby pink!!!

I heard about someone who would call her horse communicator to see whether her horse wanted to go out in the field in the morning...if her horse wanted a lesson that day...what colour rug did her horse want to wear!!!!
Meant well but totally taken in by it all imo...
 
That's great. My farrier was telling me about someone like this the other day who consulted her horse psychic about everything.
I'm thinking of doing it as a new career - I'm quite good at talking bollocks

I took my baby ned to his first show and to get to the warm up you had to walk through a tyre wash which most neds did with the exception of Wills, I tried various things and this woman appeared and said she would give him a healing touch, she placed her hand on his neck in a 'three point touch', shut her eyes and lowered her head. I just remember me, my hubby and Wills starring at each other with disbelief. She took her hand away and said 'he will now walk through water' (sadly not on water as I always thought he could!). Funnily enough he still refused and I got off and he followed me through whilst getting my show boots soggy.
It thoroughly made my day and still brings a smile when I think of it, bless her, she's happy in her little world!
 
Bloody hell

You have just made me fall off my chair with laughter

If i had been the owner i would of told the so called horse whisperer unless he didn't get off the yard i would soding well geld him Silly B******d

Why on earth did she hand over the money
 
I'd just like to offer my services as a horse communicator, I can fix all your horses problems........ chanrge £20830 an hour, but so so worth it to have a happier horse!

WTF??
 
We had a supposedly well respected horse healer come from America to stay at my old yard - a friend of the YO apparently. She had a session with another livery's horse in which she told her that the horse had had a difficult birth (something about the waters breaking early/not breaking or something, can't remember exactly) - and that apparently was why the mare wouldn't jump into water...?!?! Afraid to say I just burst out laughing...

What amazed me was that the YO (no-nonsense traditional horsewoman) took her seriously

I'm as open minded as many people, but that story is a bit, um, dubious. I do believe that there are many psychics in the world, but cannot believe that a horse would be bothered about the colour of its rug!
 
Best scam I heard of is the telephone psychic. Not only can your horse form concepts in its head (such as "I like boy horses", "I don't like pink rugs"), no only can this woman read them telepathically, but she can also do it over the phone (to be fair, if you are telepathic why not over the phone!). You call her up and for £40 she consults with your horse and tells you the answer. She also has a nice side-line on herbs she sells which really address your horse's problem - nothing like a bit of nettle leaf for curing gayness...
 
Amusing. Sounds a bit weird! But I did have a horse whisperer to one of mine and it was actually very interesting how much she knew, proper stuff as well which she couldnt guess like he didnt like me keeping hay in the trailer (I keep some to fill up haynets at shows) and how he had a very long journey at some point with a nasty horse and the trailer moved about a lot at the end - I had him transported up from Wales, the other horse WAS nasty I was told and the last hour of his journey was through a blizzard! She even said stuff like he's so proud of his front legs - he is, he's always holding up a leg for attention. CREEPY.
 
Ah, but who is really the stupid one? The owners for paying (and believing) or the psychic for the easy money?
