Good for you for figuring out the scam and not letting the buyer play on your emotions. For all you know, there was no "animal communicator" in the picture at all. And glad to hear that the horse did adjust to his new home.

Maybe > there are > AC's out there that are real, but watch out for the frauds! > You betcha. Remember the old adage about a "sucker born every minute". Some people see a way to make cash out of emotional people who love their animals and would do anything for them. That having been said, I was at a loss as to what to do about my problem child QH, Merry Gold.She IS a good horse, very sensitive, but sometimes too sensitive. And she had some real problems. After exhausting EVERY thing I knew to get through to her, and almost giving up on her, I called an AC that had been recommended to me.She told me some interesting things about Merry, like Merry apologizing for throwing somebody off (Dennis did NOT tell me he had "fallen" off months before!). Also said she HATED the loud country music that she had to listen to a while back! When we were weaning her foal we took her to a barn that DID have loud country music playing.Interestingly, the AC also told me about my cats. Got the colors and attitudes right. I did not ask her anything about cats, but apparently they had something to say! Told me some amazing things about 2 of my other horses that I did not have a clue about, till I asked the previous owners. I thought the AC was way off base about a couple things, but she was right on target! Go figure. End of story, though the AC did come up with some interesting things, she did not really solve Merry's problems. She did recommend finding "a gentle woman trainer", which I did. This trainer is of the classical dressage style. Her ways of treating a horse are very similar to mine, but she's a heckuva better rider/trainer! So, the AC money didn't really buy me any information useful to helping any of my horses, the way my training cash does, but it gave me a little perspective into their minds.
Re: animal communicators
This message is from: Janet McNally <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Just have to throw in my recent experience regarding an 'animal communicator'. This fall I sold a very nice light riding horse that had NEVER been sick a day in his 15 years, so that I could purchase a harness for my new team (that includes a fjord :-) Out of 3 horses, I had decided to sell this particular horse soley because he was indeed a very nice and fit riding horse and therefore worth sufficient to pay for the harness, and because I will be doing very little riding due to my creaky joints. After a month I got a call from the new owner who proceded to tell me that things had gone badly, that the horse collicked when she first brought him home (he went from mediocre grass hay at my place to alfalfa and grain at hers) that he got beat up by one of her horses, and now was coming done with some sinus thing (she admitted to having a prior case of strangles on the farm). She wanted me to take him back. She could tell I was heart broke over the whole thing and began to play on my emotions over the course of a number of phone calls and emails. Of course I could not take him back and risk bringing in a horrid disease to my remaining horses, but wanted to get him the equine company that I know he badly wanted. (The new owner refused to put him in with her horses after the big fight). I believed that 99% of the problems were due to the stress of being isolated. I offered her his pasture mates, a llama and an older horse we had here, which she refused. Anyway... during all of this she brings in an animal communicator. Every time I told her I was looking for a way to bring him back home (i.e. contemplating isolating him at the rented farm), she told me that the horse picked up, looked better and that the A.C. told her he was happy because he was going home. Then every time I told her that I was very worried about the sinus problem and just could not risk bringing home the nasty bug he had, I got a report about how depressed the horse was, and the AC said he had no will to live because he was not coming home. After a couple of rounds of this I played their game. I purposely told her I would try to find a way to bring him home just to hear the report... guess what, the AC said he picked up and was happy, then I told her (deliberately just to hear what the message was), that I could not take him back guess what... depressed horse. Now if this animal was really as telepathic as she tried to tell me he was, his emotions would have been unchanged because he would have seen through all of that to my real thoughts, right Finally I pinned the buyer to the wall and asked her what *really* was the problem... at which she admited that she had not planned on keeping a horse in a separate paddock arrangement (which really was not as necessary as she thought it was), and that owning another horse was more work than she had planned on! yeah, animal communicator alias says-what-you-want-to-hear-for-$$. In the end, I visited the horse, determined that now that he was past the big feed change, that he was well sheltered, well fed, and actually, very well bonded to his new owner, and finally, after I cut through the bs, she bought him a pony. Maybe there are AC's out there that are real, but watch out for the frauds! Janet

Re: Animal Communicators!
This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bernie, re animal communicators. Believe me it is weird stuff. I am too black and white not to get the giggles when I have had it tried on my horses. For one thing two were German horses who naturally speak only German. The Arab was bilingual of course. Well Resi the German mare was all uptight about something when these two ladies offered their communicating skills. One lady was rather odd to begin with, maybe certifiable? She believed not only could she communicate with foreign speaking horses but also could do the "laying on of hands" with people. She tried it on my sore foot but got only slightly woozy from the bear grease I had applied to it. Resi the German speaking horse was in the field so when these ladies asked me to get a sample of the Vit C I was giving her (they were going to ask her if it agreed with her) I went to the house and got plain salt, devil me. I was thoroughly enjoying the whole fiasco and so was Resi altho she could not understand what we were saying. The one lady took a handful of the "vitamin C" and put it against Resi's side and asked her if it was good for her. Har har de har! I am sure I saw this horse smile and a tear was coming from her eye from mirth. Those Germans are deep Well, things got kind of out of hand there for a bit but the lady began to get a funny expression on her face and I thought, well she is not understanding German or something like that. Then she said, "there is something wrong here, is this Vit C?" Gott im himmel, was solle es bedeuten? She had found out it was salt not Vit. C Game was up and I had to sheepishly admit my plot. So yetz bin ich ein glauber!! It is hard for me to admit but I think there may be something to this!
