Over
the course of one week I was reminded of two ongoing issues having to
do with horses; I felt the intuitive 'tap on the shoulder' to write
about them.
The first involves horses working in cities giving
carriage rides. The second being horse track races. I was reminded of
the former during a trip to New Orleans and the latter, because another
horse collapsed and died recently after a race in Ireland. As usual,
this blog is a place to provide the animal's perspective, so I am not
writing about the human opinion, debates or politics. I remain focused
in the light of where the animals take us in our communications.
Ethics
Due
to ethical concerns,unless given specific permission from an animal's
caretaker,it is not usually considered appropriate in the world of
animal communication to ask deeper questions about their lives. However,
I do frequently pick up on a horse's energy and will have brief
conversations. Sometimes I cannot help what they share with me.
The
information I have received over time has been a mixed bag. Generally
speaking the better the relationship between the horse and the
caregiver, the better the horse feels, even if it is not an ideal
situation. You will learn more about why this is later on in this
article.
No assumptions
I
have been in the position to communicate with horses who previously
worked as race horses and now spend time both in a stable as well as in a
pasture. Some horses express lack of contentment with their current
situation because they do not have enough pasture time and feel cooped
up and confined in their stable. Some of these horses enjoyed and felt
very proud of their racing days. However, there are those that have
suffered injury and have not felt properly respected and understood as
sentient beings. Some have required help to heal from their past
mistreatment.
My
feeling from horses that are giving people rides in Manhattan and other
cities is also varied. As I used to live in NYC and now in one of it's
suburbs, I have had the opportunity to be around horses there enough to
gain a relatively diverse range of horse insight. Generally speaking, I
have received from the horses that it is not a particularly positive
experience to be working in loud, noisy, polluted city with extreme
temperatures at times and doing monotonous work. Especially since most
city horses do return to a stable, as opposed to a pasture, when their
daily work is done. I know I often felt this way returning to my apartment in The Bronx.
Max
In
order to gain some additional insight, I did ask one previous race
horse, Max, what he has to say about these kinds of horse “jobs?” As is
common when we ask the animals for their thoughts, Max took our
conversation in a whole other direction not having to do with good vs
bad:
Max:
Basically we’re fulfilling a purpose. On this earth we hold ground for
others. In the meantime we are waiting for you to elevate.
We
provide a higher vibration on this planet. We have purpose despite what
it looks like. There is more going on than meets the eye. We wait
patiently and we connect you to the ground. Hooves to the earth.
Anne: What is different about you from dogs and cats?
Max: You ride us.
Anne: And…
Max:
How fast we can go-(Max shows fire behind horses as they are running).
Fire is a symbol for our healing energy. We have the capacity to bring
about change fast and quick. We are love. We are heart healers. Big
energy. Heart shapers. We can reconstruct a heart. (Max shows me BIG
gold and white light). It’s our vibration. We scan, we see. We
reconstruct, we reconnect. Big love, big power. In order to serve this
bigger purpose as we were created to do by God, we have to be close to
you. We sacrifice, sometimes, in this way. It doesn’t mean that we are
always happy about it in the moment but there is a bigger picture.
Anne: I thank Max and his kind for the love and the selfless gifts that they provide on this earth.
