I have just had the most amazing experience!! A telephone conversation with a communicator:

This is what he said (bear in mind he did not have ANY information on ANY of my horses. My email to him was, I have 2 horses and I want to know what they are thinking.

I have a round horse and a slimmer one!!! the rounder one is white!!! he has problems with his foot!!! (she is unbalanced in her feet), she doesn't like being in the stable and will barge right past you, (I corrected him and told him she is actually very well mannered), he then corrected and said that was the other one who is Brown!!!! He wanted to concentrate on the grey one as she had an aura around her. She has very deep emotions running inside, anxiety. She has had a problem with her gut!!!! mentioned the small intestine- I corrected and said ulcers, he was gutted I said that as he was coming to ulcers next. She is very susceptible to getting them again if I am not careful and suggested an anti- acid (which I already have her on). He said I need to bring her back into work as soon as possible and long line her through the country side as she needs to experience life and see things!!!
He said DO NOT do parelli or lunge her, she likes to be long lined.
He said she was very strong and held her head to one side in ridden work, he used the word 'unpredictable' as I have no idea what she is thinking. She has never been taught to respect the bit, he also said she has been held in with side reins at some point. He knew I rode bitless!!!
He said that Bronte had a lesser degree of ulcer because she is brave enough to express her anxiety whereas Nancy isn't, its all running deep inside her and she needs to learn to trust.

It was an absolutely amazing experience and he is going to come out to see them both and give a proper reading on Bronte as Nancy had all his attention!!!

Bertie you were right, I was absolutely knocked to the floor!!!!

We had an AC out to Oldie and a couple others when our yard went from Full Livery to Grass/DIY

she was so good she made Oldies owner cry....

These communicators who are good at what they do, make everything seem worthwhile, and it's nice to know that the horses know that what us humans are doing, trying to do right by them.

Funny what he said about lunging..... ours said that Oldie hated lunging... he apparently used the words, "boring" and "it sucks"... LOL he did like being loose schooled though, esp when there was a jump up.

Aren't they just amazing julz? I was amazed by what I was hearing. He also said she would respond to CT very well and happy with IH methods.

Its also interesting that he homed in on Nancy, I actually thought Bronte would have been more of a candidate to 'speak' to a communicator as she seems to have more outward behavioural problems. Poor Nancy not being brave enough to express her anxiety .

He also said she was very green and called her a youngster (I didn't mention her age), he then told me she was 6!!!

hehehe told u!!!!
He is fantastic

The hardest thing is trying not to agree or lead him too much so you dont then think hmm well did i tell him that or did he tell me it? if you see what i mean, like the ulcer comment

exactly Bertie, I need to learn to keep my big gob shut!!! ;D.

Anyway, he is going to come to the yard to do a proper reading so I will let you know what else he says.
