Animal Communicators Fact

Most humans have lost the skill of observation and telepathy that were ours at one time in evolution. We came to rely heavily on the spoken or written word which can be and frequently is a detriment to our communication with any type of other creature. Anyone can learn to play the piano, the violin, basketball or other skills. However, there are only a few who are extremely talented and adept at what they do. The same is true with observation and telepathy. We all have the capacity to learn (or relearn) these skills but there are those inherently blessed or cursed as the case may be with this ability. Most animal communicators are in this group. No doubt, there are charlatans who would chose to deceive people for financial gain, but on the whole animal communicators are people who genuinely want to help animals with the talent they possess. Each individual has a different level of ability as with any talent.

My experience with animal communicators has been very positive. I have used several across the country who are considered quite reputable. Are they always right? No. Do they profess to be? No. For example, I had a horse that experienced weird symptoms in isolated parts of his body. My veterinarian, who is known world-wide because of his involvement in the world of endurance riding, checked every thing on my horse he could think to check, including calling associates he knew at the highly regarded University of Iowa and Wisconsin Veterinarian Schools. No one had an answer other than possible nerve damage. My beloved horse was rapidly going downhill. I was desperate. As a last resort, I decided to call an animal communicator. I told myself I had wasted greater sums of money on much more frivolous things and this just might help. If not, oh well, I had tried.

I found the woman, I eventually contacted, online. She lived in one of the east coast states in horse country. I called and I told her the breed, gender, and age, but little else. Only that my horse was very, very ill and we couldn't figure out why. I did not describe his symptoms. I made an appointment to talk to her again after she had communicated with my horse. When I called her back at the appointed time, this is what she told me. My horse felt he was being consumed by his condition. She told me if I knew an animal chiropractor, I should have them check my horse's spine then told me which vertebrates to have checked. She said to call her and let her know if it helped.

My vet is not only a highly educated and respected medical professional; he is also an animal chiropractor. When I called him, I figured he'd think I was a nutcase. I started the conversation something like this: "You are going to think this is really off the wall, but I called an animal communicator to see if they could help."

He replied, "Don't be embarrassed, I've had other clients call them and I have to say they have been right in their diagnosis too many times for me to scoff at what they have to say." I proceeded to tell him what she had said and which vertebrates he should check. He was at my barn that very day. He checked what she had told him but he found nothing. I was disappointed to say the least, that it didn't work and aggravated at myself for thinking she would have any answers for me. The communicator called me, before I could call her, and said she had "talked" with my horse again and was extremely concerned. He was getting weaker with each passing day. I told her I had done what she suggested but had found nothing. She insisted she felt something on his spine and I should have him checked again.

Now the amazing part of the story. A few days later, my vet gave my horse a rectal examine and found tumors on the underside of his spine in the places the animal communicator had indicated. Although we had found the source of his illness; unfortunately there was nothing to be done. Several weeks later, my horse died peacefully in his sleep. I called and thanked the woman and my wonderful vet who was a tower of strength and compassion throughout the ordeal. I will never forget either of them. This is the most dramatic and the first of several experiences, I have had with animal communicators.

But there's more. Several months later, I bought a thoroughbred and called an entirely different woman this time, to ask how my horse liked his new home and to reassure him. What he told the communicator is as follows. I like the mare on my left, but the chestnut mare on my right is a real ditz and . . . . she was! Another incident that happened a few years later went like this. I had a small boarding stable and one of the horses had gotten out of the pasture and was up near the house when I found her with a horrible puncture wound in the chest. I called the vet who came immediately. He treated her and said it appeared it had not hit any vital organs or done much nerve damage and she would eventually be as good as new. Perplexed about how it could have happened, I called an animal communicator. The mare that had been hurt tended to be high-strung. The communicator said the horses were going down a path on a hill from the barn to the pasture, which they did every day. A horse behind the mare bit her on the butt. She panicked, went through the electric fence and hit a rather large branch as she ran in the woods. I found the branch after talking to the communicator. None of the other horses had followed her, thank goodness; she was the only one loose that day.

Again, here's the amazing part. While communicating with the mare that had the chest wound, the communicator asked if I had a sorrel horse that was the alpha mare in the herd. I laughed and said yes I did. She had all the other horses wrapped around her .... hoof. It seemed Dusty had interrupted and wanted to know when I was going to make her foot stop hurting. Several days before, she had kicked a whole in the siding on the barn and cut her pastern. I'd already had the vet there to treat it. I found it very funny because Dusty was exactly like that. I use to tell her she may be the alpha mare, but I was the barn goddess which meant I was the alpha and the omega.

One last thing on communicating with animals; I ended up having to sell my stable and move my personal horses to another place. As I was standing next to the fence talking to the owner about the fencing, Dusty and the other horses were close by. The man said that there was a place in the fence on the far side of the pasture that may need mending because they might be able to get out. No sooner were the words out of his mouth than Dusty led her herd across the pasture to the exact spot. Fortunately the fence held. Can animals communicate with humans? Can humans communicate with animals? In my world they can. If it doesn't happen in yours, you need to expand your horizons.
