Well, the boy was rather sweet last night. Earlier in the day, I sat in a quiet place and sent him some thought msgs. along with the verbal ones I gave him over the weekend.

I told him I wanted to know about saddle, bridle fit, teeth condition and if he was happy where he is. I also asked him to check with the other horses in case there was a msg. one of them wanted to convey.

So the reading went something like this, he asks,
"Am I moving, because I'm comfortable where I am now?

"I love you very much.

"Am I too forward (at first I thought he meant physically, but perhaps he meant personally, because he does butt me for attention) I didn't get a chance to clarify.

"My teeth are o.k.

"Have you changed your schedule? (yes, I have in fact, the days I go up are different and erratic right now)

"My backend is good (we were having some issues there)

He is sorry he sometimes misses a step and he apologized for tripping on his left front foot recently (he did in fact do just that, almost ending up on his nose for no apparent reason during a ride in the arena)

His right hind fetlock did have problems but it is o.k. now.

"I am not supposed to get a lot of sugar (I never said anything about that, but the barn manager did comment on his "fatness" when I asked her if she had any questions. Someone could be teasing him on it. We both know he'll get it off come spring. so no worries : ) )

"Am I a good boy? Yes, he is for the most part.

"Am I too slow? Well, I did comment to him that he was trotting so slowly, I should be putting a western saddle on him. He assured me he can go faster and I said yes, please do.

He said his saddle is not fitting too well in the wither area.. which is something I have been dealing with for a few years...more work to be done it seems.

His bit is o.k. and his bridle.

Do you like my tail? Well, I laughed out loud at this because this past week I had been doing a careful job brushing his tail out. Generally, I don't do much with it to keep it long and full and I ALWAYS admire his tail.

He likes bling he tells Lauren Bode. Now bling may be her interpretation of it, but I put a brand new cooler on him this past weekend, a blue one and he looked at me and I got the thoughts, "I look good" and "just like the big horses." I could tell he liked it.

He has a new friend at the barn, a big bay horse that he likes, which happens to be one of the most recent ones to come into his herd.

He said he had gained some weight, then lost it, and gained it back. (Horses don't have calendars nor clocks so time frames are unfamiliar to him. I think he's meaning over the past year.)

His backend is working better now, "It felt tight but is better now."

He asked about playing games and while we don't play chase or anything, we sometimes goof around.

There was more, but these would be the highlights. It was a very good reading and I'm very pleased that he likes his current place, I do too. As I read over my list of questions, I realized that he answered the ones I had put to him on previous days and during my meditation without my prompting during the session. For those of you who wonder about your connection between you and the horse, I think I can assure you, "it does exist."

Thank you Barnmice for the reading. ..... Did I mention I am thrilled? :D

Sounds like your experience was similar to mine. Some things surprise you but they do seem to make "sense".

Lauren is amazing if anyone else gets a chance to get their horse read by her. If you are in a boarding stable why not get everyone together for a fun weekend activity during the boring winter months.

If I had the money I would get her to come to my own barn to "read" all the horses.

I had Lauren read my mare about 4 years ago when she was 21(I had bought her when she was 9). One of things I was told was that my mare was still mourning "the baby that didn't get up". My mare had 6 foals but the second one has no record so I assume it died. Lauren did what she could to make my mare feel better. My mare was also upset that I didn't buy her last foal when I bought her. I explained that I tried to swing this deal but I didn't have enough money and that that baby became a successful race horse and was now a broodmare. My mare seemed satisfied by this. (Nobody knew about this except myself and my mare! When I went to look at her she still had her last foal nursing and it was a gorgeous baby). I asked if she felt okay and the answer was "good". She also said she liked the tall man who looked after her (this was the BO). She said she loved me very much. I had to have to my mare put down Jan 26, 2009 as she was found down in her paddock. The vet thinks she had a stroke as she was unresponsive. I will have to get Lauren to talk with my new gelding.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience Queenrider.

I hope that more people take advantage of animal communication to help their equestrian experiences. It's real and the animals don't lie.
