1.) Talking To Tek
By Judy Amick
I originally joined this list to help my mare in her rehabbing and
conditioning program, for her back.
Thru the process, many different folks have shared their stories,
etc, and I thought
about the animal communication process. Since the rehabbing of Tek
took so long, I
began talking to her, as I do talk to all my horses, cats, dogs
etc. Folks think you
are nuts, but what do they know, right????? LOL
I had employed an animal communicator a number of years ago, and was
shocked to
find out the background of my mare. Neglect, abuse etc. OK...
Now, I was never sure if Tek understood me talking to her. Just
thought it was my
"imagination" because I wanted her to comprehend. Well, last week
was the full answer
to any doubts that she understands me totally.
When putting my 3 out to pasture, I rotate who goes out first. Well
on that day, Tek was
last going out. She gets upset when this happens, and will act out in
different ways. It was
windy this day, and blew the top of her dutch door shut. I got her
halter, opened her stall
door and she was walking in circles, upset that all others were out
already. These are my
exact words to her....
"You settle down. Go over there and push open your door. They are
outside waiting on you,
just as upset as you are, in here." As God is my witness, she
walked over to the closed dutch
door, pushed it open with her nose, whinnied to the other two, and
walked over to me at the stall
entrance, and stood totally quiet waiting for me to halter her.
I can NOT express in words the complete and total wave length I have
with her. She is a serious
horse.... No commaraderie, no jokes and no sense of humor. I blame
this on her past history.
She is "lightening" up now, and loves the praise and "good girl"
statements I give her when
training and working her. She is like a little kid then. You can
actually "see" her delight
in pleasing me. This is a completely different horse, mentally,
physically, and emotionally
from when I bought her 4 yrs ago. I wonder why?????? LOL~
BTW, my husband has named me.... Dr. Doolittle.....

I don't have the storytelling abilities that some of you have, so I'll just
list off some incidences with my Karro.
Just last night, I was inside the house, poring through my emails. I
suddenly thought "I should go riding." Mind you, being a stay-at-home Mom to
an 11 month old does not leave me much time for riding! My husband was home,
and the baby was asleep. I looked outside, "too windy," I thought. So a
little while later, I went out to feed all the critters dinner. When I went
by Karro I got the overwhelming urge to go riding. Well....the wind had died
down and it was starting to cool off. Maybe...... I finished feeding, ran
inside to change and grabbed my saddle.
Karro stood like a champ while I messed with the saddle - unusual for him. I
could feel his excitement and "let's GO!" Normally saddling is an hour long
battle. I hopped on and out we went. We trotted and cantered up and down
the street, having a great time.The sun was going down so I headed us home. I swear, when we got back to the
property, Karro didn't want to go home. We danced around the driveway for a
couple minutes before he gave in. He was having too much fun!
