I love the idea of doing 3 different reading and comparing. In fact, i think this should be our go-to advice when someone asks about an animal communicator!
It’s not mocking (perhaps judging, I agree) to ask skeptical questions about something people discuss as though it’s a given that it exists at all…and saying “don’t ask questions” never got the human race very far.
I believe some AC have some ability to pick up on signals from a horse…but then many "regular " horse people have similar ability, only nobody asks them to do a reading on their horse.
Most say the AC starts out by asking age and name of horse…if horse can communicate, if not its name, then should be able to give a picture of its approximate age, or at least, “I’m young” or “I’m old”.

I used an AC once, mostly for fun but it turned out quite interesting. I used Joan Ranquet, she is really well known in the Northwest, has had some high profile cases covered by the news. A couple years ago she was able to locate a missing horse that had fallen down a raveen. I’m not sure how she could have done that by ‘reading the owners emotions’.[/QUOTE]
Yes she did - it was all over the news. Great work.
This is the story about Joan and the lost horse.

Folks are free to believe what they wish. They are free to spend their money as they wish. They are not free to tell others to hush up if they opine that the procedure being discussed is whole cloth fraud.
Show me the science that validates this practice and I’ll consider it. Until then, IMO, there is no “there” there.

Of course you are perfectly entitled to have whatever views you want on this. However, my point is, if the thread is not about “Are ACs frauds?” or something along those lines, then why derail the focus of a thread to say so? Not every AC thread is about whether the AC process is valid or not. If it happens to be the specific focus, then the whole debate on whether ACs are frauds or not surely belongs there.
But-- there are many aspects to an AC discussion-- that is just one of them.
Just as there could be and are many aspects to a discussion on horse chiropractors. I would not turn up in them and think it would be on topic and appropriate to start an argument over whether sublaxation is a pseudo-science, if that was not in fact the specific focus of the thread.

A horse got away from a stable near a river. Animal communicator says she thinks horse is near water. Horse is found near water. Well if that’s not proof I don’t know what is.
It’s great she found the horse but um…A horse got away from a stable near a river…how hard is it to figure out the horse could have gotten stuck in water since they were near a river?

I didn’t tell Lydia I was thinking of buying a new blanket and the only one I had discussed color with was the horse a few days earlier. I had no plans to even talk about blankets, the horse brought it up.
[QUOTE=wireweiners;8382747]
Why would a horse care about the color of its blanket. Aren’t they color blind like dogs? Plus, she could have told you the horse wanted any color, you wouldn’t know if she was right or wrong. That sort of thing doesn’t impresse[/QUOTE]

Horses apparently can see on the blue and green color spectrum. This is not at all the same thing as being color blind.
Neither, apparently, are dogs color blind.

Funny about the blanket. She told me my dog wanted to wear a pink bandana. That was my soul dog and she had had cancer surgery and I knew the cancer would return. I bought her one and the picture I have of her in that bandana is my favorite.:sadsmile:
Lydia was right on about my horse at the time being a big disappointment to everyone who had ever owned him. He was, too.
I am very skeptical an AC can make a diagnosis, but if it would make your friend feel better, go for it.
You can’t ask three people to read as a test. They will never see the exact same thing. I had three read my injured horse and they all got that it wasn’t long term and serious. However, they all picked up on what I thought were unrelated areas, but still correct.
So I did thus test, all had their own themes, but all were “right”.
Those looking for an A plus b equals C will be disappointed. Horses don’t think like we do.
It was all rewarding, yes, but I have to go where the horse does.
I used this only as a supplement to vet work, it was more if a reassurance to me emotionally.
One of my boarders/students just found out that one of her friends is an animal communicator. She is going to have her “talk” to her horse for fun. Why not? Not hurting anything as long as the horse owner doesn’t take some dangerous advice…but so far it doesn’t sound like any ACs have offered anything potentially dangerous.

The horse was found near a stream - not the river. The river was much farther away.

Apparently hard as the searchers had been looking for a while without success. It was only after some details by the AC that they were able to successfully pinpoint the location.

Yes - Joan was called since the horse had been missing for more than 24 hours,

Facebook and google must be wonderful for these people. It is incredible what you can find out today about a stranger and her pets starting with just a name or even just a phone number. 
I googled my first and last name and phone number…came up with nothin.
Aside from a singer in Canada!
Look, I am really happy the AC located that horse. And maybe she really did pick up on distress messages of a horse stuck in water. But it;s the only hard evidence story we have and frankly, if a horse was missing 24 hours in a rural area, there is a good chance it is stuck in water or got caught up in a fence. What else could happen to it? It did not go drive away to Vegas or parts unknown.
The rest is all gooey stuff about horses wanting a blanket or bandana. Who could prove such a thing right or wrong? I mean, if an AC says a horse wants a red blanket, who can prove otherwise? And the amazing coincidence the owner was thinking of getting a new blanket? So what? I think all the time about tack or blankets I could buy, most horse owners think about that stuff.
OP stated she wasnt interested if we thought it was bologna or not.
