I had the most interesting experience yesterday. I hope I can explain it properly because it was different than anything I've ever done.
I was standing around in my stall getting drowsy because it was that time in the morning when I'm usually getting ready for my nap. It was nice and quiet at the barn. It usually is around then. The Camp Kids are having their lessons and stuff now but they don't usually work at our end of things unless they're just riding by on their way to a Trail ride or another arena. Most of the other horses' people don't come out until later so it's always a good time to nap, long enough after breakfast so that it's nicely digested but you still have that sort of dozey feeling you get when your tummy is happy.
Anyway, I was standing there thinking about maybe flopping down in my shavings when I got the sensation that someone was talking to me. I can't really put my hoof on it; there wasn't anyone around and it wasn't a horse - it was definitely a human but it was a human who could understand me. It was almost as if she (and I knew it was a girl person) was inside my head and just understanding what I was thinking. And I could understand what she was thinking too.
Well, it was an odd feeling but it wasn't scary or uncomfortable. In fact, it was kind of nice. She seemed like a very nice person and I figured out soon enough that she was talking to me for my mom who had arranged it. She's what's called an Animal Communicator which means she talks to us animals and lets our people know what's on our minds.
Lots of people don't believe that's possible but animals know better. Humans seem to mostly communicate by talking out loud to each other. It's hard for them to read things like movements and looks and ear twitches and that sort of thing. And there aren't very many of them at all that can understand what an animal or another person is saying just by listening to their thoughts. Us animals do it all the time and it's impossible to explain how it's done because we just do it naturally. It's always nice to meet people who can do it too.
The first thing she did was pay attention to the way my body felt. She listened to all my aches and pains and I could feel her mind telling my mom where I was hurty. I have kind of a lot of hurts right now. None of them are really terrible but they're annoying and I know I could feel better if we could just take care of the right spots. So it was nice that she was letting my mom know where those spots were. I let her know about the spot where my dressage saddle is still a little tight - I knew my mom was already aware of that because she and Sparky's Mom went over my very carefully just recently, putting it on me and feeling underneath it and I know they found the spot. My mom can read me pretty well even if she can't fully understand what my thoughts are telling her. But I also told her about the parts that still hurt from that time that I fell down in the Jumping arena and I could feel her hearing my mom saying that she'd have Dooley's mom take care of all of that. So that's good.
Then we had a nice chat about my life. My mom wanted to know if I trust her. Well, of course I do! I think she knew that but she's such a good mom, she wanted to make sure and to make sure I knew that she would always be my mom and take care of me. That was nice. Horses do get sold sometimes after all, and while I've always felt pretty sure that my mom wouldn't sell me, sometimes I've worried, especially if I've been Bad or something.
My mom wanted to know if I remembered stuff about the racetrack and I told her what I remembered which was that there was a kind of big guy who took care of us horses. He was nice but he took care of a lot of us so he wasn't my special person or anything. And I admitted that I wasn't very good at being a racehorse and that I didn't miss it. I told her how nervous I was about getting sold when the lady she bought me from had me, and how I felt kind of lost there, and not really a part of her family. I didn't feel pretty or special, and then my mom came to see me and I liked her a lot and tried to be really Good for her so she'd buy me. And I was very happy when she did.
I told her that I love Sparky and he's my brother and stuff but that I'd rather not get turned out with him because he's kind of a brat to me, trying to bunch me and herd me around and stuff. So she said she wouldn't make me go out with him anymore. I felt kind of bad about that because I do love him but I was just telling the truth. He is bratty. And I told her how much I love it when kids come to see me, and how I like the new hay because it's sweet. I love sweet things.
I asked about Kia. I've always wondered where Kia went and my mom said she went to a different farm but that she was okay and that was good to know. And I asked her when that nice young girl would come back and see me. I don't know her name but she was really nice and I liked her. My mom wasn't sure who I meant which was sad but maybe she'll remember. I liked her lots and she liked me so I'd love to see her again.
It was a fun time. I felt like I was really able to talk to my mom about a lot of things I've never been able to really clearly tell her. I think she liked it too. When she came to the barn later, we were so happy to see each other and it seemed like we were both a little more in tune with each other. I think everyone should have an Animal Communicator help them talk to their animals. It's so nice for everyone.
