Wanda: Do you mean telepathic? Anyhow, that's what I would call it. And I have had many instances of this going both ways. One time - I was in Evanston (had to be) and a mare let me know that she needed help (she was pregnant and I did not know her due date. I called my helper and told him he had to go and check on the mare this minute even though he insisted that he had already checked her and that she was fine. He went (grudgingly) and found that she had just had her foal and had no milk (due to fescue) and it turned out that she had also retained a piece of the placenta and needed care. Another time, mare "telegraphed" me that there was a problem. I called my helper and it turned out that a young foal (needing mother's milk) had become separated by slipping out under the fence in the creek while there was no water in it. There had now been a heavy rain, the creek was high and the foal could not get back to mama on her own. I don't know why I absolutely knew that intervention was required, but I knew. Did the mares focus on me as the person who could help? Another time a colt came up to me and showed me his leg where he had stepped on a hidden wire and had run the wire (all five inches of it) into his leg. His mama was standing off to the side, looking at him and at me. I think she had told him that she did not have prehensile hands and told him to go see me about it. Anneliese
