Melissa’s life is largely about caring for animals...she owns many animals, including four horses, and wanted this reading to check in on each of them. Here are the answers to her questions about each, "right from the horse’s mouth"
Flash of Ebony Apr 83, female, 14 3/4 hands, approximately 1000 lbs, black with two white socks on her back legs...
The first thing I picked up was that the foal she is carrying is leeching the calcium out of her bones and I told Melissa to see about getting a calcium supplement for her that she could metabolize.
A) Is she happy? - Yes, she is a Happy Camper, likes it there with Melissa and likes being a mom and having the foals. This is her second baby and she likes the routine of motherhood. Her only problem is that she wants more carrots.
B) Does her knee give her any problems? - No. I asked her what the issue was about. Melissa said that years ago she had broken her knee. It has healed and is not a problem to her now.
C) Does she like Social Outcast? - Flash of Ebony told me that she likes him some, he has his place. She thinks that he's full of himself, but that she much prefers Sport. Melissa told me that she and Sport or in love and hang around a lot together.
Note, at the time of the reading, Flash of Ebony was not yet with foal... Laura was seeing the fact that this was imminent and that this time the process would "take".... Melissa and Ebony are now happily expecting an addition to the family later this year...
Dawn’s Delight
Born March 27/94, 3 am. female, 15 hands, 1000 lbs, dark bay
The first thing that I noticed on her is that her jaw is tight. Something with the back molars.
A) Is she happy? - Yes, she likes it there and loves Melissa but doesn't have anything to compare it to. Melissa mentioned that Dawn's Delight will be going to a trainer soon. I see her as being a good dressage horse. However Dawn's Delight has no tail so Melissa is thinking of jumping her. I don't get that Dawn's Delight will be a high jumper but would be a good hunter under saddle.
B) How can we help her with the flies? - The only thing I could see to help her with the flies is to use a natural fly spray. When I specifically asked Dawn's Delight she said that the best thing was to let her be with the others so they could stand side by side and head by tail. That way they could keep the flies off each other.
C) Is she ready to go for training? - Yes she's ready and looking forward to it. Other horses have told her that there is much to do off the farm, she is excited to explore. I really don't see any behavioral problems with her learning new things and accepting instructions. However she’s likely to be a bit stubborn with her trainers for the first few days - her way of letting them know who’s boss.
D) Is she afraid of dogs? - No. Not unless they get angry and start biting. Then she said that she would strike at them rather than bolting. But she has no fear of them. Then Melissa said that when she was just a few days old some dogs chewed off her tail and she wondered if the horse had been traumatized from that. Dawn's Delight really doesn't remember the incident, she knows she doesn’t have a tail, it doesn’t really bother her, so she's probably better off with no attention put on that time.
Note: When Melissa checked her mouth, she discovered that Dawn was cutting some new teeth, explained why she’d been a bit off her feed in the last few days... and Dawn performed exactly as expected when she started the training - loved it, but gave her trainer a run for the money for the first two days.

Endurance
male gelding, 28 years old, 15'1 hands, about 1000 lbs, brown and white |
A) Is he happy? - Yes. He can't imagine being anywhere else, feels that he's the grandpa on the farm and that he's a great confidante and companion to her. Melissa agreed to that. He knows he's not going to the glue factory, that he will be taken care of until the end.
B) Does his leg bother him? - Only when it's cold. I mention putting him on glucosamine sulfate and some MSM to help his joint situation. Melissa said that she already has him on glucosamine sulfate and will look into the MSM for him.
C) How does he feel in general? - Good. Loves it there. LOVES Melissa! They have many past lives together. Quite bonded. I get that he'll be around for 8 or 9 more years. He's about 28 now, not at all jealous of the others, has never been mishandled but has seen other horses mishandled.
D) Can we do anything else for him? - Just keep loving him! He’s an old soul - the counselor/caretaker of your family. He loves to let the little kids ride on him. He feels quite protective of them and they remind him of when he started taking care of Melissa. He feels, and is right, that he's a good horse for kids who are afraid of horses. He'll turn them around. His message for Melissa: Wants her to know that he knows she has good heart. He knows she wants all these animals because she wants to help them lead purposeful lives.
Note: In a subsequent conversation, Endurance told us that Melissa needed to get out and enjoy life more, she took her work too seriously...
Sport male gelding, about 9 years old, 15'3 hands, approximately 1100 lbs, appaloosa, white with Brown/red freckles
Playful, inquisitive, he isn't sure why he's a horse. He doesn't know what else he'd like to be, but just isn't sure why he's a horse and seems to be looking for a purpose . He doesn't understand the mechanics of English riding, prefers western pleasure riding, and likes trail rides, as long as he is a follower on the ride and can be somewhere in the middle.
A) Is he happy? Yes in general he's quite happy, just doesn't know why he's a horse. (He thinks too much. He kept bringing up that statement through out the reading.) He doesn't seem to have any depth perception. Melissa said that his right eye is blue. Sometimes that means that they are blind in that eye. I don't pick up that he is blind in it but that he doesn't see well out of it. Melissa mentioned that when she or her trainer try to jump him he just stops at the jump then tries to walk over it. I just don't get that he can get any kind of depth on it to know how wide it is. I mentioned using cavalettes to help him figure out where his feet go. Then cavalettes before the jump to help him get the distance to take off for the jump. She said that she'd mention it to her trainer. He trusts the trainer and rider, but not himself when it comes to jumping
B) How old is he? - He really doesn't know.
C) What did he do before he came to us? - I get that he started on a farm/ranch with cattle and was owned by an older man and his wife who just stopped riding. He did some cattle work but that his sight problem didn't help him. He was a pleasure horse. Mostly western pleasure riding. He really needs to have someone commit to him, needs to make a connection with someone, possibly a child (student) so he can figure out what his purpose is. He needs a lot of love.
Note: Sport’s repeated insistence that he didn’t have a purpose and didn’t understand why he was a horse was very important information for Melissa - he was trying to tell her what he needed in order to be happier with life... he started life working on the farm, and has been searching for a good job ever since...
