Pet Chatter Stories, Psychic Communication, PMU Belgian Mare, Horse Rescue

"It was one long, monotonous boring day after another. There was little stimulation. Life was very regimented. There was not even much socializing among the mares. It was depressing. The only thing to really anticipate was our foal and the brief respite from living on the urine production line. We became like automatons from lack of stimulation. We just did what was requested of us and dreamed of the days when we would be free of this enslavement." Even though it has been years now that she has been free, she still cannot quite believe it is truly over. She is amazed at her good fortune to have been freed, but the dark memory lingers and she cannot shake the fear of one day returning to the line.

What in her experience would cause her to go catatonic when asked to stand quietly in a stock?

She was often confined at the farm. Sometimes it was so terrifying that the only way she could prevent her heart from exploding out of her chest was to just shut down and go deep inside herself. It was safe there and no one could touch her. Whenever the pressure becomes too much she reverts to this habit for her survival.

[I explained that you would never push her that far and you would really appreciate it if she would make an effort to stay present. She will try.]

Her nervousness and jumpiness are due to too many years of not knowing where she fits in. She's not comfortable with who she is; needs confidence and a sense of place. She's living on pins and needles; feeling no place is safe or comfortable. You can teach her she has gifts to share, is as important as any other of your horses, and she'll begin to relax.

[Her human family report that she has made much progress in this area and is much calmer.]

Why is she choking?

Throat felt raw and scratchy. She showed me a picture of dark green/brown pellets. They are sticking in her throat. Can you soak them so they are soupy?

[The owner then recalled that she had switched feeds recently and knew exactly what the problem was.]

She has a nose rash. What is the cause?

It's photosensitivity. Her immune system is not as healthy as the others so she has a greater reaction to triggers and the clover has triggered an allergic reaction in her.

Dorinda: Can you please stop eating that clover? It's making your nose break out. You'll feel so much better if you avoid things that make you have reactions.

"It tastes really good, but it's not worth having this dad blasted rash. It itches and hurts all at the same time. I will make an effort to avoid that type of clover. Thanks for letting me know that I can fix it and won't have to suffer all summer like this."

Your guardians are putting stuff on your nose to help it feel better and would appreciate your cooperation.

"Oh, I know that. It was real obvious. I can read body language. That stuff smells bad but it does soothe my skin. I guess I can tolerate it for a while. I've been avoiding that clover and am expecting to be totally well in a few days. Thanks so much for staying on top of this for me."

[The photosensitivity response stopped dramatically when she stopped eating the clover. She was completely well within a few days just as she predicted.]
