Asking Permission
March 28, 2015
There are times when I go to do readings on horses there is a horse that wants permission from its owner to participate in the reading. I call on site sessions readings because the session deals with what is going on right now with that animal. Yesterday I read two horses for a client. When it came time to read the third the horse kind of said no and although it began to offer information I asked the client if the horse’s owner knew about the session. The client said no. In that case I said I will not work with or read this horse. Clearly this horse wanted permission from her owner to talk.
This has happened before. I went to read some horses and dogs. The horses were fine because they belonged to my client. The dogs were a different story. They felt loyal to the client’s spouse. Since the client’s spouse did not know about the sessions and probably would not have approved, the dogs did not offer up a lot of information. They still talked but they were very reluctant. This got me thinking. It is in the animal’s best interest to have the owner or the person the animal feels bound and loyal to, to know about the session.
Even though Reign, the horse in this would be session wanted to talk, she said that it would be best if her owner was asked. If her owner said yes, then she would talk a lot more than she was talking at that time.
I loved the look of this horse. She had a nice deep chest, was perfectly formed in my opinion. She thought so too. Still the reluctance remained while we stood in her paddock. We left. When my client asked about Reign’s saddle fittings, Reign responded somewhat but she still insisted on having her owner know all about this reading stuff.
So my client asked Reign’s owner if it was okay if I worked with the horse. The owner said yes. We have an appointment next week.
Asking permission in a case like this is important. If the animal feels ambivalent about taking part in a session like this and the owner has no idea about it, the information I receive is not the best. I prefer everyone involved know what I do, who I am and what a session is all about. In this case it worked out. For that I am grateful. I love what I do. Reading horses is my passion. I always hear what they have to say. They always talk and sometimes the animals just want to know that it is okay to talk. They like having permission to talk granted.
