There's been several post about horse communicators, but I'll start a new one with my experience. We had an AC come out this past weekend to do a reading on our two horses and the neighbor's horse for fun. We didn't tell her anything about the horses.
We brought up our new DW for the first reading. The AC commented at how pretty she was, and then she got a taken aback look and replied that that our DW told her that she was tired of people telling her how pretty she is and that there is a lot more to her than her looks. She feels overly confident in her abilities to the point that she will not accept responsibility for some rider issues that she was causing: The DW mentioned that my daughter was coming down on the pommel and pinching her withers and that she thought my daughter was an unbalance rider. My daughter's trainer was there, as she lives next door and commented that this was happening, but the reason my daughter was unbalance was the the DW was pulling her head forward and yanking my daughter forward.
The DW said she liked her previous rider in that she was a stronger rider and really knew what she was doing. AC got the impression that this person was a trainer. The folks we bought the DW from was selling her because their daughter injured herself and could not ride, so they've been having a trainer get the DW in shape.
DW commented that she likes smells and that she likes her corral because is light and airy (pipe corral with a semi box stall with plywood wind breaks. She said she was put in a dark place which she didn't like other than it was warm and she liked the warmth. We live in Southern Calif so we don't have harsh winters. We got the DW from Canada, and the previous owners would put the horses in box stalls for the winter. AC didn't know this.
DW complained that she was always hungry. DW used to be in a pasture and free feed. Now she's gets fed three times a day, but she can't eat all day. DW told us that she LOVES the hot mash my wife makes for her after we take her out. AC had no idea we make hot mash for the horses.
We asked about the DW spooking around other horses. DW responded that a man riding a brown horse lost control of the horse and they ran into the DW scaring her and hurting her right shoulder. Trying to verify this with the previous owners.
When asked about our pony, the AC said, "Oh, the gelding?" He was in his box stall with only his head showing. The DW said that the pony was full of himself and that she was getting tired of him - thinks he's hot stuff.
When the pony was read, this is what the AC told us:
Pony is upset that everyone fusses over the DW. He actually turns his back to us when we put the DW in the cross ties. First show that my daughter did after we got the DW, the pony refused the first jump in everyone of her classes then jumped all the rest perfectly, as if saying: "See, I can do it, if you're nice to me."
Pony was said that my daughter is leaving him for the DW. He sees her getting bigger, but still thinks she's not too big for him (This could easily be seen by an untrained person).
When asked what the pony thought of me (5'8' male about 160 pound), the pony responded that he loves having me ride him for several reasons. One being that he likes to show that he can carry a "big man" with the other ponies don't do. He also like it that I'm a novice rider and that when we go out on the trail, he can get away with "snacking" along the way. He also likes it that I don't make him bend to the left (We had him checked out by a chiropractor a while back and he seems to be tight on the right side, which affects how he bends to the left).
The pony told the AC that he pinched me. At the time of the reading I thought that she meant that he had bitten me, which he has done several times. After I got home I remembered that we were going though the metal gate of the arena and my leg got pinched between the pony and the gate, causing a pretty large gash in my leg.
On a more humorous note, the neighbor told us of her reading as we had to leave. Her horse like peace and quite and things that are calm. Her horse dislikes how our two horses are always bickering. The horse also dislikes a little 5 year old shetland pony because she never shuts up.
The AC pretty much said that both our horse are very high energy and judgmental. She said that the DW was a bit of a snob and that the pony was snotty, which he is, but give us lots of entertainment with his personality.
All in all, it was an interesting experience and worth the $40.
