As an animal communicator where do I start? Supernatural experiences, or out of the ordinary experiences are the norm in my life. I have also had a few past life regressions (I am a hypnotist also) so have plenty of stories to tell. But there is one that stands out for me the most. The story of how I came to adopt my mare, Miss Saskia.
In the winter of 2014 a friend of mine asked me to come and visit her horses at a ranch. Naturally, I agreed with delight! When I arrived we visited all the horses. I did impromptu sessions for each horse. Then I came to the stall of this beautiful bay mare. Her name was Katsatka. She was an off the track thoroughbred and had been match raced in Mexico. She was rescued from a feedlot. She was also pregnant at the time of rescue. She was lucky to get out of the feedlot alive as this is the last port of call before horses are loaded for the slaughter house. This is not uncommon for race horses that are injured or do not make enough money. She was, indeed, a lucky one.
When I saw her and connected to her she was in despair, internally. She was thin for her height and said she felt anxious and was grieving. She had lost her foal after being rescued and with that she had lost her heart. I asked her about her foal and she did not want to talk about it. She put a brick wall up between us energetically so that I could not receive any more information on the topic. She told me she would let me feel what it was like to have a foal in my tummy but that was all. The trauma was too great. It saddened me greatly to see her so distressed.
Weeks later.....I thought about Katsatka often and wondered how she was. I connected to her and she would show me a picture of her eating hay. My friend kept me updated on her progress. She was looking to be adopted but no one really connected to her. She could not find a human that would give her what she needed. This I knew created more of the familiar feelings of abandonment and loss that was entangled in her despair.
Three months later I was sitting at my computer browsing when I heard a very directive tone in my head. I was to visit the ranch tomorrow by myself. I dismissed this message over and over again. Why would I want to go to the ranch again without being invited. But the message was on a loop, it was persistent and was directive. I was to visit the ranch tomorrow. I turned to my partner and said I need to go to that ranch again tomorrow. I called my friend and asked if it was possible for me to go on my own and just be with the horses. It was arranged!
The next day I traveled the 45mins from my home to the ranch and visited all the horses in their stalls one by one. They all greeted and they all said they knew why I was there. I thought this was amusing because I was there to visit them that is all. I arrived at Katsatka's stall and she came over to greet me. She turned her body and presented me her butt - she wanted me to give her a good scratch. I got a chair and we spent a few hours in each others company. Peaceful. Blissful.
Then I asked her if I could join her in her stall. She agreed. I hopped over the fence and there we were together. She came to me and began to sniff me from head to toe. She was moving in circles around me and she told me that I am her human and she imprinted me energetically. The picture she showed me was of blue light spiraling around my body. She repeated 'you are my human and we are to be together'. I told her that I was not sure because I was not going to adopt a horse at this time. She repeated her message and her voice became louder in my head. I told her I would visit her the next day.
This was our first picture together. I sent this to the rescue and they were shocked. They told me that she had never been happy with ears forward for a long time:-
As the days went by, I could not get Kat out of my head and heart. It felt like I had been hit by cupid's arrow and being with her was all I could think about. I went to see her every afternoon and did the 45min journey to and from the ranch to see her. We spent hours just being with each other and I asked her if she wanted to be ridden and she ran to the far end of the stall, looked at me and said no. I told her if she is with me I will honor this. I was thinking about it. This horse had wiggled her way into my heart. She was in my heart.
When I was away from the ranch I would feel her connecting to me. She would send me what felt like psychic balls of information. I would hear them in my head before they arrived (sounded like a swooshing) and she would send them to my heart. It would jolt me into the heart space where I had to listen to what she was saying. The message was on repeat, "you are my human and we are to be together. Do not forget me. You are my human. I imprinted you". Each day I received this message and each afternoon I went to visit this beautiful mare.
One month past and every day we had wonderful conversations about being horse and what she really wanted in life. She wanted to be cherished. She wanted to be understood on her terms and most of all she wanted to be loved without condition. The ranch owner told me there was someone coming to see her from the Polo club and they were considering her as a polo pony. I knew this was not right for her. I knew she didn't want to be ridden. I knew it would cause her to crumble under the pressure. It was all too much. I went home and that night I decided to adopt her if the rescue agreed.
One month later we adopted each other officially!
I asked her if she wanted to keep her name of Katsatka. She told me that was not her name, her name was Miss Saskia. I told her I had not heard of that name. She repeated it was her name. So we changed her name and I found out this name means "Valley of Light".
When I got her evaluated by a vet, she was thin and needed fattening up. After a few weeks we were together she really started to let her emotions show. She was depressed and a flood of anxiety would bring her to a state of despair. She had PTSD like symptoms.
Here is her picture when I adopted her. You can see her depressive state:-
To help her through her traumas I did a full animal communication asking her to show me pictures of all the events that were traumatic in her life. What she showed me was heart breaking. She was separated from her mother at a very young age (a few weeks old) and put with 2 other foals and a very large mare (draft). The draft mare was acting as a nurse mare. Her foal had been taken away from her after a few days and discarded (at that time I had no idea about this practice but it is common in the thoroughbred breeding world. The thoroughbred foals are more valuable and the TB mare who just gave birth can be rebred in a short time. So the nurse mare foal is thrown away, so the cycle can continue for profit). She showed me how she was beaten, how she was man handled and was hit regularly across her face (they cracked her skull leaving a scar).
Using this communication I sent it to an accomplished homeopath to help clear these traumas. It took us two years to go through each and every one of them to clear them.
In the mean time we moved to a new ranch and she has a paddock next to her friends. She lives on a road named Valle del Sol - translated it, it means "Valley of Sun/Light!" No coincidence.
It is because of this mare and what she showed me that my research project for my Clinical Psychology PhD focuses on PTSD in Equines.
This is what my beauty looks like now, a totally different being. The most amazing and beautiful being I know:-
Us together!
