Talked to my horse-hates her name

[shorthorsemom]

I love when they tell you stuff! Dogs too. I adopted a dog last summer the rescue person called "Bunny", in no uncertain terms she told me immediately that her name was "Bonnie" not " Bunny". I told this to the rescue person and they though I was nuts. Imagine my giggle when I tracked down the vet for the record on a dog named "Bunny" in their practice from her former owner and the vet says, "That dog's name is "Bonnie" not " Bunny", You get alot from your pets when you listen. I pick up from some better than others. Years ago before I really caught on that I was picking up on things, I caught a bloat message from a friends GSD... I wished I had said something to her then but I chose to mind my own business because some people get weirded out when you say stuff, so I kept it to myself. Her dog bloated not long after. I have no idea why I tune in on some, but I do get messages.

On Tulip, anybody else getting a "check the inside of my cheek message", might be coming from somewhere else, could even be from one of my guys, I will get the vet to check my boys for a follow up, but I thought I would toss that one out since I was feeling it. I prefer to touch and be with the animal to talk, I would love to learn more about communication.

cheers

I think you're lucky you can communicate with your horse on that level. Not all of us can, and some wish we could.

I definetly appriciet it!

I love it and I would like to do all the help I can for my horses when I hear things like this

Not weird, I do pick up some stuff from my ponies, although I am not always listening. I was at a trainer's barn a little over a year ago and she calls a pony there a certain name, when I was looking at him (to bring home) he clearly told me his name was "George" not so and so. And I still get that from him.
My first real chat with a pony was over a halter. I had gotten my pony a hot pink halter. She outgrew it and I replaced it, but it was black. She told me in no uncertain terms she wanted her pink halter back. I let it go, but she wouldn't let me put the black halter on. I finally explained she had grown and I couldn't find a pink halter to fit her. After that, she was fine with the black halter.

Sometimes I get something shouted at me and sometimes it is very soft, but usually it is during a time I am not trying to listen to them and it catches me off guard. But I do get sentences and definitely impressions.

So if anyone tunes into Tulip - I have been asking her why she has been throwing her head, but she hasn't said anything to me.

The halter thing is TOO FUNNY! That sound like something my horses would do-they are very picky lol-I went to punt a purple halter on my gelding to lead him in the barn he wouldnt let me so i just put it on my mare led her in - came out with his red white and blue halter sure enough he came right up to me-lol .. Ohhh horses

I went to go look at an older black mini gelding and I asked the former owners what his name was. CoCo. As soon as they said it the gelding scowled, pinned his ears, and said "How humiliating!" I ended up buying him and changing his name to Goliath, which he thinks fits him better. In fact, he "told" me that he would ignore me if I ever called him CoCo.

This thread is so cool, I wish I could communicate in that way. I often read their actions/behaviours, etc, very well, but never get specific messages. I often wonder what my critters would tell me, if they could.

I did have a mare I got that the previous owner called Rosy, I had a Rosy before and just didn't feel the name fit her. I tried to come up with another barn name, thought of Fudge, Cookie, etc, but ended up using her registered name Frosty Chip. I have no idea what she prefers, but that is what seemed to fit.

Kim, I bet you "heard" her just fine.........Often it's just that "feeling" that a name isn't right. So much of animal communication is from the that HEART connection.

 

[Kim~Crayonboxminiatures]

Thanks Miniv, I guess it is true that not everyone stops to take thought of those little intuitions or feelings.

It is all about those intuitions and feelings and then you build from there I think. I just started tuning in deeper more this past couple of years and I am getting many more messages now that I am opening up more, but I have felt things for many years. My vet believes me now, she didn't earlier. I hate it when I am rushing around and then I finally stop and tune in and realize I had been missing something important just because I wasn't listening. It is a lesson to slow down. My dog Lokey is a communicator too, one night he jumped up on my husband's lap and looked me straight in the eye and gave me a "call the vet" signal. Now you have to know that this dog does not sit on anybody's lap but mine, so I say " I better take Lokey to the vet tomorrow. My husband had hurt feelings and says "so if he sits with me, he must be sick?" ... I pointed out that it must be serious because he hasn't sat on my husband's lap in 10 years of his life. Imagine my vet getting the call... "what is wrong with Lokey?? and I say... he sat on Harold's lap.... I did get an appointment too, (she does believe me now.).. Well, we did an xray and found that his heart valve had gone and his heart was the size of a peach and he has bilateral tricuspid insufficiency and it is one major cause of sudden death in dogs. That appointment saved his life. I am so glad I listened.
