[RC] re: Mental riding (animal communication) - Kristi Schaaf

Christina -
On any particular day, I may or may not believe that
animal communicators can really 'talk to the animals'.
On a whim with some friends once, we had an animal
communicator talk to our horses. She had us in tears
with some of the answers because of how close they hit
to home. But in hindsight, I wonder if we read too
much into her answers...at any rate, the real sticking
point I have is the animal communicators tell us what
our animals 'say'. Why in the world are we so
self-centered that we dare think that our animals
think in English?! A communicator who says she can
only see pics in her head sent by an animal comes a
lot closer to legitimate, if you ask me. And some of
the questions CAN'T be answered in pictures. For
example, my horse 'told' the communicator that he had
lost his favorite horse buddy several years earlier
(we actually did have to euthanize our other horse a
few years back). But how in the world could my horse
communicate 'several years' in a visual picture? So
that's my big sticking point on the whole thing...
Kristi (who apologizes for posting this, since this is
getting off the topic of endurance...but when I
'think' and my horse 'does' as we're going down the
trail, it demonstrates some types of communication do
work! But over the phone...nah....)

REAL endurance is sleeping in the tack compartment of your trailer w/the
door open, and your horse snorts/snots on your forehead every 30 min!
