My Supernatural Experience (SWC)

in #jerrybanfield7 years ago (edited)

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:-

Here is another article I wrote about animal communication for those who are interested:

https://steemit.com/animals/@whitedolphin/what-is-animal-communication

Sort:  

wow so silky I would love to ride it?

She is very shiny! She has an excellent diet with no packaged feed. Anything packaged for horses I keep away from. No riding!

Wow, I read this thru and it made me cry. She is so beautiful.....I look at pictures of animals and I sense things from them. It's been happening alittle more lately. She made you her person, she smelled you to understand if it was true, like validation. Animals smell often to detect things.
I am SO glad you listened to her. I'm so glad you are together. I myself, to be honest, feel like Miss Saskia much of the time. I have lost alot in the past 2-3 years and this was very heart-warming to see that she found a place to rest her weary emotions and be free. Thankyou for your story....

@grasswind - it is your post that brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for your comment. Animals do. She often smells people's bodies where they need support or there is a problem. She is very emphatic and tells them there is a problem they need to work on. She picks it immediately. She was definitely checking me out physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually. She was very focused and she could not believe her luck. It felt like she was feeling that 'this is the jackpot and I cannot let this go. The human arrived!'

I am glad too that we are together. She told me her purpose in this lifetime is partly to help me to grow. I am here to nurture and give her what she needs as best I can and most of all to protect her from the human mind (projections and any abuse). I have had to protect her many times from the beliefs of the horse world.

I did a communication with a horse that was abused and died recently (it was the hardest thing for me to do) and I asked her what I can do to help horses. She said to teach them to walk with horses side by side and to set the horse mind free something that horse world does not understand. Through Saskie we are showing this to the world.

May you find a space of peace and the ability to renew, reinvent and bring the nourishment you need.

Thankyou and I followed you. I have a hard time dealing with animal abuse and all the pain...It's immoral and we have obligation to treat animals well. There was a guy that was on the show, Coast to Coast AM, that remembers his past life as a horse. The things he said were amazing! If I can find a link to it I'll post it in your comment section here.....
Ah, well there was a couple of interviews and I don't recall which one I listened to, he's a guy that thinks he's a horse in a human body, but by the way he talks, it's clear he's a human reincarnate of a previous horse. What fascinated me about it was the amount of info he had, how they greet eachother, what the various things they do means and so forth. Anyhoo, here's the link,

Thanks that is great! My cat was a dog previously and she love dogs and really dislikes cats. She is very dog like but as the years have gone by she is becoming more accustomed to her feline form. She goes for walks with me on her leash. She sits, runs, slows down, lies down and runs home on command. She is adorable.

I agree with you re animal abuse. There are so many forms of it from physical, mental and emotional, to those who smother their animals, over feed them, feed them inappropriate species diet, over supplement them - these are all forms of abuse in my view.

I will listen to the interview.

Horses are very subtle and yet very good at communicating with each other. I recently found a book I love called Horse Speak - it details some of their mannerisms and also another one on Calming Signals from horses. Much of what humans think they know about horses is incorrect most especially in the equestrian circles and the way they use behavioral techniques that essentially shut the horse mind down.

Humans have alot of notions about not just horses, but other humans as well. I think that everyone has to be re-educated about almost everything! Well, there's just ignorance and then there is torture and they are different in that one is just unknowledgeable and that's most people, but the other....well...needs to end.

A nice story.

You were able to go through the horse's past experiences and clear them? Truly amazing work.

This is a beautiful story, horses are amazing animals. Thank you for submitting your story to SWC. I just sent a bid for your upvote.

Thank you! Horses are absolutely amazing. Animals are honest reflections for humans. 😀

Yes that really a nice story there. Nice horse there. Also posted for my entry

I'm so touched by this story! I've been around horses my whole life, and the power they have to touch our intuition and communicate with our hearts is breathtaking. The racing industry is indeed barbaric. Not all horse racing owners are bad of course, but unless they're already wealthy, the horses are usually just a meal ticket and discarded once they can't generate income.

I'm so happy you let this horse into your life, and I can see the spark and confidence back in her eyes in the last 2 pics. Where did you study for your PhD? That is such a great speciality to have, and so valuable for horses/horse owners out there.

Thank you! Horses are so expressive and are ready to talk to all who listen. I agree with you the racing industry is appalling. Of course there are those that look after their horses. The terrible mental, emotional and physical scars they bare is a great sadness to me. I see many shut down horses (who are athletes). Yes they are considered tools whose purpose is to give pleasure and profit even if it means sacrificing themselves.

Saskie is my Soul Horse. Yes she is truly such a gorgrous being inside and out.

I am still completing my PhD. At the California Institute for Human Science. I am developing a technique and questionnaire to determine PTSD in equines and will extend to other animals. Indeed, in the horse world old beliefs die hard so I want to use this to change how horses are viewed.

Oh she really is a beauty!

It makes me smile to know she's found 'her human' and you've made the effort to connect with her.

What a wonderful story!

Thank you! Me too! She chose me! We just went for a walk together! She is so loved. She found the jackpot ha ha ha ha

Oh my, what a beautiful story. Thank you so much for sharing it. The world needs stories with this level of compassion and understanding. May the day come when all creatures are given the understanding they deserve.

Thank you! Yes I agree we need more understanding and compassion for all creatures.

Thank you for sharing your journey with Miss Saskia here with us! My mom is a vet with a huge heart for horses and this is the first Steem post I have ever shared with her because I think she will love it too!

Oh thank you so much @jerrybanfield! I am so pleased you enjoyed this journey. She is a mascot for all race horses and other throw away horses. She is an example that they are not throw away at all and she has become the most amazing horse. She is now very outgoing and expressive. I hope your Mom enjoys it too! :)

Very Interesting Article thanks for sharing love
