 It is hard to get it that animals really do understand us. It does not mean they will always respond accordingly but if you do the experiments you will get the results that prove to you this is real. Here is one example from a reader:
 I love reading your blog and was so happy to read that an animal responding to what you actually say is a form of animal communication. Last fall I had new gutter covers installed on my house and they were wonderful. Stopped all the leaks into the basement. However, they also had little openings in the corners just big enough for grackles to enter and nest. One morning I walked out of the house and heard a terrible racket. A bird had entered and couldn’t get out. I told him/her I was going to get the ladder and make the hole bigger. He/she needed to go back in and remain calm while I did this. I would tell him/her when I was done so he/she could come out. The bird complied. I was amazed. He/she emerged unhurt and obviously grateful for my help. I love the awarenes that animals do understand us more than we think they might.

Do you have a great example of an instance when an animal completely understood what you said and you could tell that was the case? If so please send it in. Every example helps break down the resistance that has been culturally instilled in us, which all of us have to undo.

Horse Yoga
I found a wonderful horse bodyworker who has put up a FREE guide on YouTube for how to get your horse limber and fit, the way you would for yourself doing yoga everyday. These five simple exercises are so easy, fun, and powerful, and the horses love them. Try them on your horses. If you notice things your horse can’t do well it indicates where your horse has a problem.

I just took a two day tutoring course with April to learn how to correct the many problems my horse Rio has. A previous bodyworker told me he was fine… now I know what is wrong with him and I can set about using energy work and massage to correct it. I am impressed with what April does as it is a synergistic combination of a whole array of modalities, blended into about an hour and a half session that addresses all the issues your horse has, and does so effectively. In other words … it really works and you really see a difference right away. Using the horse yoga stretches daily after a corrective session, you can often keep your horse sound and happy all on your own. Check out her endurance horse in the video and how fit he is … WOW! He didnt start out that way; April was told he could not do endurance but he’s now done over 2000 miles staying comfortable and sound. Go to her website for more info about what she does: holistichorseworks.com

Secretary Salazar and the Wolves
It doesnt seem like we won much with this new administration. Certainly when it comes to wildlife and wilderness we are losing not gaining ground. Please follow the links below to pressure the current US administration to stop harrassing and killing wolves.
