What do horses really need from humans?In this episode of The Thinking Horse & Rider, Anna talks with animal communicator Ginny Horton, author and illustrator of Soul Sketches, about what horses may be trying to tell us about community, choice, safety, connection, and belonging.Ginny shares how she became an animal communicator, how remote animal communication works, and some of the common themes she hears from horses during her sessions. The conversation explores why horses may struggle when their social needs are limited, whether humans can truly be part of a horse’s community, how horses experience our emotions and intentions, and why some behaviors we label as training problems may actually be relationship or environment problems.They also talk about horse welfare, independence, competition, listening to subtle signals, and the importance of asking “why” before trying to correct behavior.Plus, Ginny shares the story behind Soul Sketches and how the book brings together real animal communication stories and her illustrations of the emotional messages she receives from animals.If you’ve ever wondered what your horse might want you to understand, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.Find Soul Sketches: Sketches from the soul of real communications from real animals and their humans by Ginny Horton on Amazon https://a.co/d/0gDOah5cGet the FREE Awareness workshop www.equusenlightened.comFind me on social media as @equusenlightened.
