Helping horses and equestrians connect
Horse scans
I don't consider myself an animal communicator, as I've spoken with others who use that title, and my gift is a bit different in my eyes. Today, animal psychics and animal communicators are far more common in public circles than even 10 years ago.

As with Reiki, non-traditional modalities are becoming more accepted across the world. I am all for this. Why wouldn't we use any natural gifts at our disposal?
Anyhow, so what do I do? Well, at the simplest form, I connect to a horse through energy and intention, then I use Reiki as a basis to establish the connection. I have found that horses, like humans, tend to relax while receiving Reiki and it helps them open up to me. Most of my horse scans are done remotely as I find that this provides less interference from the owner or other horses nearby.
As with people, some horses are shy, some are pushy, and some remind me of Donkey off the movie Shrek. I never really know what to expect. Each and every horse is different in how they share information, and how much they share. While giving Reiki, I can detect areas requiring more energy and often can decipher whether it is skeletal, muscular, or internal. I can also sometimes detect preferences of some equipment or training programs. Some horses are happy to tell me everything and anything, while others can be standoffish and wary. In part, this has to do with their experiences with people, and in part it is their unique personality.
An example of an exuberant horse happy to share was aptly named Bubbly. Her owner was concerned as she came up lame. Bubbly was one of those horses that was hard to communicate with as everything she said spewed out 100 miles an hour. However, I was able to pinpoint some sore spots and some simple things here and there. The real kicker? Bubbly showed me that she wanted to wear high heels. Truly. She showed me an image of herself, wearing women's high heeled shoes on all four hooves. I laughed at first wondering how on earth that related to her lameness, but, I passed on the information to the owner. The next day they took her to the vet and discovered a fracture inside her hoof. The vet suggested specially made shoes to elevate her heels and take pressure off the bone... essentially creating high heels. Needless to say, that one even shocked me a bit.
Horses are very creative in how they relate images to me. It's not a science with specific answers, I am often sent images that I can relate to from my own experience and then left to decipher how it applies to the horse. As the messages are not meant for me, but for the owner, it's not uncommon for me to not fully comprehend the message. My role is simply to pass on the message.
I have worked on only a handful of donkeys, and one mini donkey in particular had a sense of humor to say the least. I found a few concerns of his and then he threw me for a loop. He was a gelding and told me he had an issue near his sheath. Now, this client had not seen me work on animals before but had me recommended from a mutual friend. So when you hear this information and have to tell an owner that you need to check a sheath, you never really know what to expect. Sure enough though, there was a small lump on the outside of his sheath under the skin. Being a mini, this isn't an area that was easily visible and not one to be checked in detail without knowing to look for a problem.
This same owner had a mare who was struggling to recover after having a foal. She was much more standoffish but I managed to get a connection as long as I gave her some physical space (another reason I have chosen to mainly do these scans remotely). She was able to give me much more specific information. I don't often receive taste (thankfully) as a sense for receiving, however she made me taste blood. I was taken aback as she had been checked by the vet and there was no cause for a concern like that. She related this to the taste of the water, which made no sense to me. I also distinctly picked up on an issue in her endocrine system, in her adrenal glands. I left that session a little confused but accepted that the messages are not for me. The owner ended up testing the water in that particular trough and found it to be quite high in iron compared to the other troughs. Iron has a metallic taste, comparable to blood. I did a quick bit of research and found that the adrenal glands, in part, are responsible for regulating sodium levels and water balance. No wonder the mare seemed dehydrated.
Then, there are horses who downright refuse to talk to me. I've only had two of them so far. One in particular broke my heart. I had given her owner Reiki and she knew the benefits it could provide, so for a couple years while we rode together, she would ask me if her horse, Lacey, would talk to me. Lacey wasn't what one would call an 'easy' horse. I traveled to shows with this mare, saw her at home, tried remotely, she was not open to giving me much of anything. Until the end. Lacey had come up with signs of colic and been back and forth to the vet.
My coach and friend messaged me to let me know it wasn't good and they were headed back to the vet, so I connected to Lacey. It still brings tears to my eyes. She was stunning. The last image I saw in our session has stayed with me over the years. She was shimmering, a red bay in life turned into a shimmery red copper and I watched as she grew a majestic set of wings. She was at peace. She gave me one look that conveyed more than all the words she refused to say over the years. She was ready and I had to let the owner know. I can only hope that it brought peace to the owner when she had to make the dreaded decision.
As I say, these are only a few examples. I have been fortunate to work on an array of horses over the last few years. They also have come through in Reiki sessions for people. Horse ownership is a hard road. Most of us always want to try and do better for our horses but don't always know what that means. I know I've always wanted to talk to my own horses (a weird twist of fate that I can't receive from them in the same way I can receive from other horses). I try to bridge the gap between horse and owner whenever I can.
I make no claims to have any cures or all the answers, however I do trust my gift and I trust what horses show me. So what do I need to make a connection? Simply a name and a color. I tend to prefer to not know the history or current concerns until I've already made a connection. Because horses have to find ways to get their messages across to me, and it is usually through images, it is easier to go into the session with no preconceived notions that might sway my reading. Once I have made a connection, I can often then ask the owners about anything specific they were looking to find out. Sometimes the horses are happy to answer questions and give specifics, sometimes they will give me one image and expect me to decipher it however I can. I never go into a session making promises on getting specific answers to specific questions, but I've had many repeat clients as they value the information I pass on.
During my sessions, I write down notes in my Reiki journal and then pass those on to the owner. I also include any related links on crystals I was drawn to, images I find for comparison, or whatever else may have come up during the session.
**DISCLAIMER**
As energy is intangible and not black and white, my readings vary greatly based on each individual horse. Some scans will be very detailed and medically based, others will be erratic and emotional/memory based. Some horses choose to only show me past life trauma ready to be healed. There have been a few times where owners feel that the scan did not 'click' with them at that time but I can only pass on the information given to me by the horse. It also depends on how that information is interpreted by both myself and the owner. If a horse shows me a washing machine that disrupts their sleep or makes a scary noise, when I pass that on, the owner might be confused if there is a dishwasher nearby not a washing machine. Or a horse might show me an image of galloping up a mountain path and the feeling of excitement, whereas the
owner might live in the prairies (but perhaps a previous owner took them trail riding in the hills). I do my best when deciphering and explaining the images and thoughts from horse to owner but acknowledge that it is not a scientific, one answer only, method of communication.
