Same here 
I do believe there are people who can communication with animals but Lidia is not one of them.
Let me say that my feeling about animal communication is this: I can’t do it, but that doesn’t mean that no one can. So I am open to believing that it can be done.
I would like to know whether the communication ever goes the other way. IOW, can an animal communicator tell an animal what a human is thinking?

if people can believe in a big dude in the sky who made the world, why cant someone read energies off animals??
Ive gotten 2 readings, for FREE, from one of my favorite communicators because i was watching an Instagram live and asked a question for my horse (Who was in a diffrent state from me, and across the country from the AC)
I had not told anyone about her lameness OR her being leased out, had not posted about it, actually hadn’t posted in a year.
I went back and copied what i asked so here: “Crystal, Horse Mare: What’s causing the dipping?”
Note I didn’t say lameness, i didn’t say dipping “her head” or anything. And Lily (The AC) got it. “Left hind leg, not in her hip, its like a pressure on the outside, like a windpuff but it hurts”
And that’s exactly what my vet had said 2 months before after i fought 3 vets for 7 months because they refused to believe it was bothering her despite her leg giving out at the trot.
THE SECOND READING:
A few months later, only a week after she was leased out, i had not told anyone except for my friend who works where she is leased to. I was still grieving having to send her away, so i hadn’t posted it anywhere (And wouldn’t until this year). So i asked a simple question:
“Crystal, horse mare: What is she doing these days.”
And Lily again got it right. “She says right now she’s just being brushed by a lot of new “small people” (What i always called kids around her) but the “Cinnamon Woman” (her lease, who gave her cinnamon candy when she test rode) is riding her. She says she got to meet a new pony today, a palomino, She’s showing me a piece of candy, maybe her pasture mate is named after a candy?” (She is, her name is Tootsie, shes a halflinger)
So yeah. If you believe in Sky Dude, don’t be so dismissive of ACs
And for anyone wondering, the AC i got readings from is Lily Ludwig, and yeah she occasionally does mini sessions for free on Instagram Live

I just want one who is available 
heck one woman I asked said she only takes appt now from animals that reach out to HER. Wut?
I’ve used Anita Curtis for about 30 years and just found out she’s retired. 
Why oh why didn’t I contact her to talk to my pony last year???
Sigh… If only this OldBroad & Technophobe knew how to IG Live 
I’ve used Lydia Hiby in the past ( last time over 10yrs ago).
Also liked Mary Long who has since retired her practice.
My (very very very highly respected international sporthorse) vet told me this story the other day!
I’m sure not every AC is amazing, but I’ve had 2 positive experiences. She couldn’t diagnose my one horse who just kept telling me where I could take my dressage works and shove it, but after 18 months of chasing everything we could, including an extended sabbatical, my conversation with her was the permission I needed to retire him.
I did a reading last year just for fun on my 2 mares and rescue dog and it was hysterical and wildly accurate, especially about things that she would have had no knowledge of.
For the record, I used Susan Deren and it was all over the phone.

So because of this, I reached out and scheduled a phone appt with Susan. You guys. I’m not woo-woo. But I was floored. I provided one slightly dated picture of one of my horses and one recent picture of my doggo.
Said horse is a problem child, often injuring himself, doesn’t handle change, is an incorrigible flirt with all women, and is rehabbing a nasty suspensory injury that is healed but now he has a lot of adhesions that need to get broken up. Dog is dog.
Said she my horse loves women and thinks of himself as The Man, and she said she gets a Mr Suave feeling from him. Loves nose kisses. She said he is happy to go out alone because otherwise he can’t keep from being “dumb” and hurting himself… She asked if he had issues with cantering due to being clumsy, which is a yes. The whooper? She said the left hind feels short. That’s the suspensory. She also said unbidden that his gets twinges in his left hock, and he has a bony protrusion there of unknown origin, probably as strain as a foal.
The doggo. She said a few things about his personality that could or couldn’t be good guesses, but the whooper? She asked if he had a dental recently. She said the upper left part of his mouth hurt, and that he needed a dental. She said I didn’t need to check right now, just that he needed his teeth done sooner rather than later. He was laying next to me so I went ahead and checked while still on the phone. Lo and behold a lima bean sized abscess or otherwise swollen/inflamed spot back further than I could have seen without looking.

Because of this thread I made an appointment with Lily Ludwig. Speaking with an animal communicator was on my bucket list of things I wanted to do. I don’t really believe in them. All you tell Lily is the name of the animal, sex, and whether they are alive or dead. I gave zero other information. And – she was amazing. If she was guessing, they were all very lucky guesses. I’d recommend her.

The way it works with lucky guesses, there are youtube videos showing how, is that our brains make the stories fit what the communicator is saying.
Is mind tricks, entertaining and, like sleigh of hand, fun to marvel over.
We had those discussions before and such videos were shown, maybe someone remembers what those were and can link to those again.
Psychology is very interesting, that knowledge explains of how we form our own realities.

I am sorry, but I don’t appreciate you telling me what my experience was.

Sorry, not my intention at all? 
My post was explaining what we know today how brains work.
A general comment on this topic:
Pretty crazy, right? I was floored too. And now, I basically think its fun. A good friend who is a professional has called her several times and always had at least one “Wow, how did you know that” moment.

I never understood on threads like these why people get so offended by others not believing their anecdotes. It’s not like the people reading experienced the same things as you, there’s no tangible reason anyone HAS to believe your story just because you told it. And getting so offended by it doesn’t make you seem more credible.
People DO make up stuff, or embellish stuff, or misremember things, even unintentionally. Anecdotal evidence really can’t ever be considered true evidence. It’s too unreliable. That’s just the truth of it, no point getting upset about it.

Some posts are not about any belief on what was reported, just the conclusions derived of those experiences that someone at the end of a phone had all that great knowledge of what a certain animal thinks and wants.
There is an art to reading minds and communicating mind to mind.
It obviously has a value for many, if mere entertainment, pastime, parlor tricks, to more serious, when considering our concerns with how things are, about the future.
Some people are very, very good at that mind sleigh of hand and, really, all of us should just go along and have fun, not become so serious and alter our lives in important ways because we firmly believe something that, if we reflect two minutes, can figure “if it is a stretch, it probably is questionable”.
One of my stories of strange happenings, I was in the US a week/ten days, didn’t speak a word of English, helping with the summer program in a friend’s small riding center.
She spoke a broken French, we communicated in horse at that time, gestures and active body language.
I had been trying some of the assorted school horses as jumpers, as a local show was coming up and one scrawny brown plain smallish TB looking, around ten old horse, was a nice, natural jumper that enjoyed doing anything with people.
He was not trained, just ridden, so we had been working hard to get him where he was somewhat where he could be guided without careening around and getting him to safe spots, but it was an effort to find a happy place for him now between this is fun, to this is work.
We were getting a good rapport, both of us enjoying it.
Some evenings we would turn a handful of horses out in a little pasture five minutes from their center, that was a rectangular shape, the high side where the gate was, a long slope and some woods with underbrush at the other end.
It had a wire fence around it, strange to me.
In the Continental Europe I knew we didn’t have those then, not for horses.
Horses seemed to stay in those safely in the US.
One night we all went to bed and 1 1/2 hour later I woke up and woke everyone up and, best I could communicate, was insistent we went to check horses.
Everyone half asleep and thinking I was crazy, piled in the car and drove over.
Once there, in the car lights, right by the gate, horses were half laying down, now sitting up, others standing there had been dozing, all eyes blinking and just waking up to us.
All but that little brown horse. Ever look for a dark horse in a dark night?
So we walked down the slope with flashlights, calling and found him in the underbrush, in the right hand corner, front feet kind of tangled in some wire, hobbled in place.
We unwound the wire and he was fine, not a scratch on him and he followed us back to the top and we left.
Now, should we assume the horse communicated somehow “someone, come get me out of this, please!” and, since I had been working with him, it woke me up?
Or who knows what all kinds of coincidences added up for me that one night for my brain to figure maybe we just need to go check horses, out of the blue, in a strange land, odd pasture settings, or … ???
I had never or ever again woke up with such a pressing need to go check anything.
My point is, no matter our experiences, some times we still can’t really insist something is there tying those up that doesn’t quite make sense, just because it happened, not without more to go by than how malleable reality truly is.
Just because something is possible, like that horse called for help from his pasture corner and I heard it, it is not necessarily sensible to insist that type of communication exists, is a good thought to keep in mind.

Offense comes because it HAPPENS ALL THE TIME. There has not been even one thread on here, in decades, about animal communication, where people just wanted to pass time and share anecdotes, but where someone felt the compulsion to jump into the thread and shout "YOU ARE ALL WRONG!! I’M RIGHT AND YOU ARE ALL DELUDING YOURSELVES!!! 
Really, who cares what you think? Why do you have to be right?
It gets old. For crying out loud, just leave people to their anecdotes. Folks were having a nice quiet chat before you came in with your criticisem.

I asked this previously, and didn’t get an answer. Maybe someone can answer now. Can the communication ever go the other way? IOW, can an animal communicator tell an animal what a human wants it to know?

IME: Sort of.
My last convo w/Lydia Hiby was just after I’d moved my horses home, so almost 19yrs ago.
Honestly, I forget what brought it up, & it came out of the blue, but my TB “interrupted” to ask if he should wear a halter so he’d be easier to catch. 
I answered “No” & she relayed that
