On one of my other non-horse message boards I was talking about how I called one of my horses over telepathically. (Yeah I know it sounds somewhat silly but why not try it) Well I called her name in my mind and she didn't do anything so I walked away and the horse followed me. I was like "Wow it does work." Well this one woman who I don't even know if she has horses so I don't know how much stock I would put into her advice. She told me that the horse probably came over to me because I turned my back on her and that she didn't want to be ingnored. Thanks for squishing my hay day as silly as it might of been.  Anyway, this will be the first time I have ever had a horse come up to me because I ignored it and I have had horses half my life ( I am only 20 mind you). And Fawn is pretty shy anyway so if you ignore her she usually ignores you. She has never followed me without a halter anywhere ever. This was the first time. So is this woman right or full of it? Just wondering... |

Horses respond very readily to body language and movement. And will follow if you walk away purposefully - thats a form of join-up

Blimey, don't believe it - agree with Anon!!!!
It's a mixture of thought & action really, though.
As someone who was unconsciously made to move out of her way, by my NH tutor, just by the power of her concentration on my back, I know it can work. It was in a crowded room, in my own house, I was stood in the doorway chatting, and just suddenly moved. She had told the others that's what she was going to do, but I had no idea what happened til afterwards.
Horses are telepathic with each other, without a doubt, but not many of us non-horses have the same skill, I reckon our brains give our bodies a signal & a horse will respond to the smallest stimulus.

Try it again and see if it works. My eldest sister and I are telepathic to an extent, we can be sitting next ot each other or in our houses, and when i go to say something or phone her, she'll say i knew you were going to say that, or i knew you were going to phone me. We attended an experiment when she was at uni (senior student) and out of all the siblings we got the highest mark, strange thing is, we're not true siblings, and she's the eldest and I'm the youngest! (there's a mountain of years between us!!! ;D)
Rambling a bit here, what im trying to say is that depending on how close you are to your horse/sibling, i don't see why it can't work.

I believe telepathy can work to a degree, as I can't always explain behavior with body language (I can't believe that my powers of observation are such that I know a horse is going to do something way before he/she actually does it!), but as has already been said, it is VERY common for a horse to follow you once you have started to ignore him/her.
Sorry to burst your bubble BuckSkinBabe!

I totally agree with Anon, part of join up is to walk two circles one clockwise and one anti-clockwise at this point the horse will follow you (or should I say, should follow you). I find quite often that my gelding will follow me at liberty around the field or school and we haven't done join up for a year or so now.
Instead of being said that you and your horse are not telepathic, be happy that your horse thinks enough of you to want to be close to you!

If my dog sets off in the oposite direction I turn and walk away he then follows - it's not new. The horses do it too - not telepathy just nature.

What an interesting dicotomy set up inbetween telapathy and nature. Between these two ideas which are essentialy the spiritual and the natural (which in themselves overlap) lies the experince of the psyche. If one has a psychological intention, it is experineced through the psyche which is the many inner and outer layers of our natural, intentional and spiritual experince. Within every intention (which is conscious and 'actual') comes a desire (which is spiritual and wantent). If i was to look at you (whoever you are reading this now!!) without speaking, and my intention was to drive you away, but my desire was to draw you close, you may naturaly pick up those two signals (think of the Romeo and Juliet and the gaze that they held in the film...!). Join up is like this when done properly, there is a complex psycic space that opens up between horse and handler, that wonderful intentional gaze during the driving away, and then the desire to join up and be happy together within the circle (which is in itself a sacred space...). MMmmm. So there you go.

P.S. I have seen people attempting Join -Up using just body language without any intention or desire, it doesn't work! Horses are far too in touch with the psyche, gosh, their body language between themselves is almost invisable. That is why horse whispering is horse whispering, their language is as light as a feather, yet holds more clarity then we could ever put into words.
