If, like Doctor Doolittle, you’ve ever found yourself wondering if it’s possible to talk to your horse, you’re not in strange company. The Equine Chronicle listened in, so to speak, as a few top exhibitors chatted with their equine partners through trained animal communicators. Read on to hear their tales straight from the horse’s mouth.

Before we dish on the details our talkative equines spilled, let’s briefly cover the basics of animal communication and what a session with a professional animal communicator might entail. You probably experience some level of connection with your animals in daily life. Sometimes, you just know what your animal needs, wants, or feels. Then, there are those times when you could swear that your animal understands exactly what you’re saying. Animal communicators have training that allows them to tap into the natural communication that already exists between humans and animals.

Before you go thinking this stuff is way out there, there’s a pretty extensive body of research on how animals communicate both with each other and with other species, including us. For example, a recent study in Norway demonstrated that horses can use symbols to indicate their blanket preference for turnout! Specifically, animal communicators use telepathic communication, which means receiving images, emotions, words, colors, and/or sensations from the animal and “translating” these expressions into verbal language so humans can understand. The communicator also takes the words and concepts of a person and presents them to the animal in ways they will easily understand.
