Horse Psychics

Animal relationships can be tough. Veterinary care, handling environment, and training options can impact a horse’s life dramatically. Eventually, ever horse rider reaches a point where equine progress slows or retards. It’s a rider’s fault, per se’, just that one doesn’t know what to do.
But when confusion sets in about “what’s next” for you and your equine partner, and the typical horse health and training relationships are just leading to more questions, is it really time to turn to an animal communicator?
If using a horse psychic for entertainment purposes, maybe. But usually, people (desperate) enough to use horse psychics and animal communicators are actually just looking for answers, for help. If you know anyone (yourself?) nearing consideration of hiring those “with” horse psychic powers, first, ask the rider a few questions:
1.) Do you have a veterinarian who you can trust to find answers, guide you to decisions, or point you in the direction of another veterinary medicine source?
2.) Do you have a trainer who understands both your goals and your horse’s ability?
3.) Do you have a trainer who will provide honesty about both you and your horse’s abilities?
4.) Do you not have the capacity to use reliable sources, deductive reasoning, and common sense to figure out what is best for your horse?
5.) Are you a hypochondriac horse owner?
Though a horse psychic is a great opportunity for a hypochondriac horse owner to make a new friend,
“yes” answers to questions 1-4 do not require a visit from the horse psychic.
Most likely, the punch is in the pudding (I think I just made that up). Read those questions again. If “no” answers are present, this is where time and resources need to be spent, not with an animal communicator.
Animal communicators and horse psychics are basically shrinks without the degree. Horse “shrinks” pickup on the real problem during the first phone call (hint, it’s probably not the horse).
Say a horse is refusing fences, the rider is getting very frustrated, and the rider’s nerves are starting to get the best of them. On some bad advice, the rider calls a horse psychic and asks her (and its a her, for sure) to question the horse about why it doesn’t like to jump fences. This is what happens next.
HORSE PSYCHIC:
Horse, why are you afraid to jump fences?
HORSE PSYCHIC, PRETENDING TO BE HORSE:
I’m not afraid to jump, why are you afraid to jump?
WHOA! The rider gets freaking blown out of the water! The horse knows…..the rider is the one afraid to jump fences. Of course that’s why the horse is refusing. THE RIDER’S FEAR!
HORSE OWNER
Horse Psychic, thank you Horse Psychic!!!! You’re a miracle worker!!!! Here’s a hundred bucks!!! Wow, what a steal!!!!!
The questions alone telegraph the real problem to animal communicators. Why would anyone assume their horse is afraid to jump fences? This assumption by the rider on the horses “feelings” is the first sign to the horse psychic that the rider is the problem. The rider assumes the horse must be scared because the rider scared. Beyond physical problems, a common reason for a horse to refuse jumping a fence is a rider’s fear or apprehension.
Horse psychics are not miracle humans who can communicate with horses via phone because of supernatural powers. Simply, horse psychics know how to read in between the lines, and they’ve got the predatory “horse psychic” marketing thing going for them. Horse psychics and animal communicators at a large, though severely…lame, are not stupid, and they know exactly what to listen for.
Every barn blabber mouth has amazing stories about miraculous healing right where a horse psychic pinpointed the problem and solution. Here’s another example:
Horse isn’t doing well in the jumper ring; refusing sporadically, pulling rails, slow, not making distances. Vet clears the horse of any lameness, stiffness, or soreness. Trainer starts schooling the horse with little improvement. Trainer and owner even get a second opinion from another veterinarian clearing the horse of any problems. What to do?! Dundadadun!!!! Call the horse psychic!
HORSE OWNER
It’s a jumper I have owned for 2 years, I’ve shown her extensively in the AA jumpers and my trainer has showed her in level 5-6 and is moving her up to level 6-7. The horse started having problems about 8 months ago on and off. Help! Please talk to her.”
HORSE PSYCHIC
Okay! Great! Give me a second….[stalls]….mmmhum…yes, I see…oh…ohhhhh…okay…mhum. Your horse is bored with showing and wants to relax and spend some quality time with you. Your horse simply wants some down time.
HORSE OWNER
Wow!!! I’ll give her three months off! Thank you horse psychic!
HORSE PSYCHIC
No (crazy) horse owner, thank you for your patronage.
Three months later, the mare comes back great! Why? Not because the horse psychic spoke with the mare. From the description, the mare was tired, potentially disinterested, or overfaced. Time off refreshes a horse experiencing any of those issues. If it was already known the horse was physically sound, a prognosis of boredom, disinterest, or yearn for down time could be the only three causes of poor performance induced by several riders.
Deductive Equine Reasoner just doesn’t sound as profitable as Horse Psychic.
The sad thing is, I could rattle off about eight more examples of situations like the one above where riders just swear by the psychic’s ability to not only speak to the horse, but also “fix” the horse’s problem! I guess, in some ways, the psychic did in fact “fix” the horse, but not by speaking to them.
In short, horse psychics are not needed to fix problems with equine relationships. Quality veterinarians, trainers, and farriers are a horse owner’s key to solving equine relationship roadblocks.
Don’t fall for the farce of supernatural, spiritual horse communication though psychics. Horse riders need to examine their own problems and pitfalls before staring in on a horse who is known to be sound (and even then, still). Flat out, a horses’ owner or rider may be it’s biggest problem. The second biggest problem may be the horse’s trainer.
If the horse seems to endure a physical issue and the veterinarian isn’t finding anything, a second medical opinion is needed. If that doesn’t turn up anything, the rider is either a hypochondriac horse owner, or maybe the horse just needs a change of routine.
There are enough ways to get deceived in the horse world, and the term “horse psychic” itself screams as such. Please, don’t fall for a horse psychic’s deception, unless, that is, you’re looking for a method to deceive yourself.

FOR REAL! I’ve thought about being an animal communicator on several occasions just because it would be a quick way to make a fast buck–unfortunately, my pesky conscience always gets in the way. Sigh. Also, there is a word for people who hear animals talking to them and that word is SCHIZOPHRENIC. Anyone who hears voices should not pass go, not collect 200 dollars, but go STRAIGHT to a psychiatrist and get put on some serious antispychotic drugs RIGHT AWAY before they start chopping up people and hiding them in their walls.

OKAY, you guys will hate me for this but i must speak my mind…..first i im a professional psychic, no joke i really im and its a HUMBLING experience and one must do with HUGE RESPONSIBILTY! ….and I KNOW ANIMALS SPEAK I HAVE HEARD THEM! not all of them just a handful and the biggest reason is when they are REALLY unhappy. now that being said, there are ALLOT of PHONIES out there, and those psychic’s are a disgrace to all, but for those of us who really can make a difference there there needs to be RESPECT!….now let me explain that as a psychic i come across allot of static, and that is fine but the communicator JACQUELIN SMITH is THE REAL DEAL!!!! no shit she is THERE IS NO WAY she could have known the things about my horse unless HE TOLD HER! and i admit it was a experience i was leary of due to information of communicators that were frauds,…so you can have your opions and of what i read on here those questions are training related and not PERSONAL but ladies what would you say if i told you your horses LISTEN TO and COMMENT on YOU and EVERYONE ELSE!,….this was proven to me and if anyone here would like details id be happy to share, just not on this site……..so WATCH WHAT YOU SAY and HOW YOU ACT cause it does become barn gossip!….and it can be a bit embarrising when you here what they say. and LIKE ENERGY ATTRACTS LIKE ENERGY so chances are you and your mount are simular in many ways…..okay THANK YOU for the rant. LOVE LIGHT and HINDSIGHT, LORI

OH one more thing, they do mimic us in our feelings but humans too often are not thinking what they are saying and that is confusing energy to animals in general,….FYI

I still think all animal communicators should visit a Psychiatrist or clinical psychologist to determine that they are not Schizophrenic. I’ve been working in mental health for a long time and I’ve met a few of these “animal communicators” and they seem pretty schizophrenic to me. I don’t believe in paying money for anything that hasn’t been proven using the scientific method and I don’t think there’s any scientific way to prove whether or not a human can hear a horse’s thoughts.

Kay, thank you for daring to post this article. Of course, you know this means you’re an insensitive meanie!
I once asked a ‘reputable’ AC to take the James Randi challenge, so that if she won, she could give the one million dollar prize to a certain charity. I told the AC that if she would just TAKE THE TEST, I would donate $100 to the charity, whether she passed or not.
She refused. She said she’d ‘been warned about James Randi’ and that the test would be ‘too painful’ for her. What BS.

Im FAR FROM INSANE, so i will not take that comment personally , and we will agree to disagree,….no hard feelings .

Ihavequestions:
Kay is a passionate horse citizen. Citizen K. is the primary author of all things Citizen Horse. I can understand the confusion, and being as Kay is one of the proudest voices on the crosstalk, I don’t think she’ll mind me pointing out the distinction.
You’re right though. Much of the Citizen Horse content stirs up the meanie police. Some kettles refuse to acknowledge they are simply black.
Thanks for sharing your story ihavequestions.
And Lori, Citizen Horse knows you’re not insane, and you always write cool stuff here. But hearing animals speak? Come on, really? Do the animals speak English, and if so, how did they learn it?
I guess the point of Citizen K.’s article on Horse Psychics was that anyone can be a “horse communicator” simply by listening to those who know the animal best; psychic powers aside.
In a sense, the “animal communicator” tosses up B.S. walls on both sides: their conversations can’t be argued because no one else can “hear” them.
So please Lori, we really like you around here. Help us understand this psychic gift. Were you born with the ability to speak to animals? Can psychic powers be taught? Are you sure psychic powers don’t seem a little made up just like the magic, Egyptian, gold plate, decoder powers that Joseph Smith guy had?
Like I said, Lori, you’ve always got good insight here. Help us out a bit.
June 7th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Yeah, I do not write the articles on this website. I just like the website and come here a lot. Lori, I don’t think I called you insane–I’m sorry if that’s what you heard. However, I have worked with plenty of schizophrenics who say “I’m not insane!” on a daily basis–so you have to understand my inability to take your word for it. As a professional in mental health, I have to go with the “walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, must be a duck” logic. Otherwise, I would be letting a lot of certifiably insane people out on the streets where they would undoubtably pose a definite danger to the rest of society. Maybe psychics are not schizophrenic, but I would like to leave that sort of judgement up to a clinical psych or psychiatrist.

OKAY girls let me get a minute and ill get back to you, but just to tide you over,….from my limited experience most animals show you pictures but some have the ability to speak a language,…that being said, ……and you MUST think in terms of ENEGRY and that spirits are exactly that, so the form it takes depends on the mission it chooses. if you not from an open mind school of thought this may seem wierd but think about it if you really love someone does it stop there? and if you really love an animal WHY could it not do the same? and this vibration connects you over and over again though out time. think about it there are 2 things that rule us as humans LOVE and HATE all emotions stem from these in my opion…..now that said, i was born with a sick sense but it was not activated until the death of my best friend, and this catalyst was what helped me TUNE IN to FREQUENCIES that most choose to ignore, and YES EVERYONE IS PSYCHIC! but few BELIEVE its possible due to western thinking so to answer your question YES you are VERY ABLE to due this, think of it as your GUT FEELING, have you every noticed when you do not listen to you gut bad things can and will happen? have you ever been driving and all of a sudden thought i better stop at that green light only to have a car come careening through?…..that ladies IS YOU PSHYIC self talking, and the best part is the MORE YOU TRUST THIS the STRONGER IT GETS, now try it and let me know what you find:)……..now back to animal communicators, you bet there are frauds but i have met a couple that BLEW MY MIND! can you tell me HOW SHE KNEW my horse rolled on me? and where i was injured? can you tell me HOW she KNEW i sat with my horse and just enjoyed him? can you tell me how she could know about other horses and the relationship to my horse? his history, his experiences,…..can she know that we were thinking, to me sure but she was tuning Push my horse I SWEAR I TOLD HER NOTHING and for 35$ i was left speechless,…..now KAY i total respect what you do and it’s importance, but im also here to say there is MUCH MORE POSSIBLE than what WE ARE TAUGHT!……i think outside of the box, therefore this may be the reason i was able to hear a horse tell me, HE WAS IN DONE BREEDING and HE WAS DONE with life, now i did not know this horse i had just arrived at my barn, but me being me i mentioned that to a barn manager and she asked HOW I KNEW HE WOULD NOT BREED? i guess only a few there knew this so she was taken back because it was kept secret for what ever reason? you tell me I HEARD HIM! I LOOKED ALL DIRECTIONS thinking WHO said that, then as my glance went to him i knew,….yup it WAS FREAKY, but over time i digested it, then a friend said hey tell me if you hear anything from my mare she is acting wierd, so i walked up to the mare put my hand on her and in seconds i HEARD her say MY BACK HURTS! and she showed me where,….the next coulple of days a chiropracter came and confirmed it! okay even i was like whoa, but it happened, no that is 2 times in a year,……i do not consider myself to be an animal communicator however I NOW KNOW IT IS POSSIBLE!……so yes if you tunes in and are open i FEEL ANYONE CAN DO THIS! let me know if you want the names of good sources i got em’………HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND LADIES !

Lori, I don’t know you or your horse or your psychic and therefore have no way of evaluating your mental soundness from this distance. I suggest you take your findings to a mental health worker—a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Psychiatrist, Clinical Psychologist, or Psychotherapist. It sounds like what you are experiencing are auditory hallucinations. Your writing is wrought with grammatical errors that are typical of someone in the early stages of schizophrenia. I think you may also being experiencing classic symptoms of PTSD from the death of someone close to you and that may also be the root of your hallucinations. At any rate, even if you don’t see a professional mental health worker, please don’t listen to the voices when they start giving you instructions to kill or harm others. Schizophrenia is a debilitating and often terrifying disorder that is more easily treated in the early stages. I have been a buddhist for 5 years and meditate in silence for one hour every day. I believe in acupuncture and chiropractors and traditional chinese medicine. I know a lot about eastern ways of thought and indigenous ways of knowing from the quantity of higher education that I have recieved. Auditory hallucinations are not a part of eastern thought, they are a symptom of an organic brain disorder that needs diagnosis and treatment.

WOW that was shitty and you know it! i write the way i do because im ADHD and ADD and my attention is short, and the belief in my circle of why i im the way im is called INDIGO CHILD. look it up MAYBE it can shed some light on this, and help you understand me better. also the arrogant statement that i have allot GRAMMATICAL ERRORS! excuse me for sharing my experiences! i had NO IDEA i was in ENGLISH CLASS! i was trying to condense my experiences so i was just WRITING paying little attention to my FLOW! and I know that im a mentally stable, KNOW WHO IM IM. DO YOU?! you have INSULTED ME AGAIN! i was simply sharing with you and never expected this! you are ARROGANT for writing the above statement! and its CLOSED MINDED PEOPLE like you that live you whole life shut down! NOW you claim your a buddhist! PLEASE ! you must know the laws of KARMA! and honey with your mindset your not creating a very good future life! now i can tell you that my dead friend came to me, i KNOW THAT! i do not need validation from you or anyone else! and i also know i heard that horse! and in our western society i see what the religious control has done to diminish the OTHER BELIEFS and ways of the shamans and their ability to travel astrally to other DIMENSIONS ,…. and the belief in pagan cultures! i im PAGAN and this means i take care of the earth and do my best to heal her! yes her i believe ALL LIVING THINGS have a CONSCIOUS, yes that includes cells. so as a BUDDHIST i im VERY surprised by this reaction from you, and in your closed mind. so i will stop here sad and disturbed by your in ability to look deeper past the medical field,……and we are left to agree to disagree. PLEASE REFRAIN from .insulting me again . you are creating bad KARMA !…….so i will leave you with this thought WHAT WE THINK, WHAT WE SAY, AND WHAT WE DO CREATES OUR REALITY! and this is mine and i im VERY HAPPY there!…..insane in your opion or not!
June 8th, 2008 at 9:42 pm
Lori,
I’m sorry you feel offended. It was not my intention to insult you. I am just trying to give you my professional opinion. Buddhism is my faith and I don’t feel the need to prove my Karmic balance to anybody. Again, I would like to remind you that I never called you insane.
June 8th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
KNOCK IT OFF!!! you know what i meant and for someone who does not mean to insult someone you are doing a fine job of it! okay so i did not check my spelling here and there, since your so educated i would think you could figure it out! ……I DO NOT WANT YOUR PROFESSIONAL OPINION NOW OR EVER! ….as for INTENTION hmmmm well did you really need to point out my GRAMMATICAL ERRORS again? you are very arrogant!and for you info i also have 8 years of college with 2 degrees im a well known artist/illustrator with famous friends,YET i do not act like I KNOW everything! listen to yourself, read what you wrote then tell me how you would feel!…..insane is a lose term you know that! you know what i think? I think you are so insecure that you fall back on you SCHOOLING/EDUCATION, and THAT SCARES ME to think YOU are BUDDHISTS with this much lack of awareness! and you say you suggested i see a mental heath professional, maybe you should also check one out!…..r work with or for are also totally off their ……you banter at me about my mental state and my use of words and my need to be careful , but girl i do not offend people like you do, PLEASE!!!!!! SHUT UP!…….i do not know how you were raised but somewhere along the line you got a STICK UP YOU ASS and became a” know it all”……i grew up with a fantastic education, lots of travel, amazing parents and friends, i never need or wanted a thing! i have a fantastic life! i im grateful for it all. I feel you are missing something and feel the need to belittle others and to me this is a LACK OF SELF LOVE. so go take a deep look into the mirror and tell me how you really feel! and i bet you its not what you think;)…..oh yeah you may not wish ill will but your being a little bitch and you know it!
June 8th, 2008 at 11:10 pm
AND DO NOT SAY YOU NEVER MEANT TO OFFEND ME because you have , and continue to do so, if you want me of this forum , have the BALLS to just say so!
June 9th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Too funny! I have never admitted this to any of my friends, but I have used a horse psychic twice! I know I have always spoken exactly as this article speaks. But, I was desperate and whether it was psychology or if it was psychic powers it worked.
I don’t think I’m insane nor Do I think Lori is insane. I think having an open mind to try anything and hear anyone out is important.
I can say after using the horse psychic (she referred to herself as a animal communicator), I realized that I could do the same thing. You just have to open your mind, eyes, and ears. I can’t say they speak “english” for me it was more of an overall awareness and a deep sense of feeling what my horse was feeling.
Crazy or not, I’m happy with admitting I used this “power” and although I don’t think I could get paid to communicate with other peoples horses, I do know that I can HEAR what mine have to say.

OH THANK YOU BONNIE!!!!!!!………i feel sometimes the rest of the world is seriously missing out on the MAGIC that can happen when your mind is free of society’s strangle hold! and sorry about the bantering on here but that needed to be delt with, im not one to lay down and take it. i am an out spoken confident woman that knows who she is, and will not put up with people telling me my limits! GOOD FOR YOU for walking on the wild side thats so taboo, its so much more fun and freeing !…….i swear by my animal communicators and i never spoke of this until now, but i actually had 3 different readers say almost the same things, and.that was all the validation i needed, and i paid very little,…..go ahead and tell your friends cause i bet there response might surprise you! …..LOVE LIGHT and INSIGHT! LORI

I used a horse psychic once. I didn’t give her any questions to feed off of - at all. Just basic age, name, sex of the horse, and emailed a photo of him. And she gave me a pretty accurate description of my problem - once I had an accurate description of what was wrong, it was easy to decide what to do about it.

Hi Lori, I am one of Claire Hale’s friends from The OSU barn and I remember we spoke. Then we didn’t quite finish. I’d like to get in touch with you… email me at Greersy0×221@aol.com
