Woman in our yard has a young i.e 3 year old horse that is having some soundness issues.She wouldn't go on the lorry to the vets (who wanted her to go there).Woman calls out animal communicator (no idea who) and the communicator said, in short, that she would go and see M at the vets but not D.Promised to go on lorry.Absolute hokum obviously.Hands up thats what I thought! Little mare walked up onto lorry as easily and calmly as you like! Coincidence? Did the owner feel more confident so this passed to the mare or was there really something in it? I have absolutely no idea myself.

I'd say the owner simply felt more confident and flapped less! I don't put much faith in these animal communicators, a lot of it is common sense and educated guesses. The horse is hardly going to say, "No actually, I wasn't thinking that at all!"

I think one-off anecdotal stories like this are completely meaningless. My mare refused to walk into her stable for a while (she had recently banged her head on the door ). Then, she walked in calmly for a day or two, then she didn't.... Just one of those odd things you get with living creatures.

On its own, it can't be said to mean anything.

My horse was desperately headshy with her left ear when I first got her, no doubt she had been beaten and quite likely ear-twitched. I wanted to tidy up her ears for the showing season. Right one, folded it up and snipped along the edge, no problem. Got hold of the left one (we could at least do that 3 months later), folded it gently, raised scissors and the fightback started. So I told her that if she would stand still I would only do 3 snips and no more. She held her breath, stood still and I stuck to my end of the bargain too. 16 years on I can do anything with that ear!
