Thanks! So you didn't find out anything you didn't already know?
Not really.....I felt like any of the questions I asked in relation to issues I was having, the answers were off. For instance I had a mare that would duck with me and I ran her in an o-ring and she said that the mare didn't like the big bit I was using. That mare is sensitive in the mouth, but as I have now fixed the issue that really had nothing to do with it. I use a Kathy James on her now actually. She also said she had some pain in her back...mare wasn't back sore at all and still isn't. My gelding was actually the one that is back sore...maybe there was a miss-communication there? Like I said it was fun, but I didn't get any insight like some people have claimed. |

| I am on the fence about her as well. I feel like it is sort of a shot gun effect I heard of one time when they were explaining that the Long Island Medium was fraud. There are certain answers that more than likely are going to be right if you know what I mean. Like one answer was, he knows he is beautiful, I also got the she is stubborn and does not want to talk. Or the she is so excited and thinking to fast I am asking her to slow down. Needless to say I felt like I got ripped off and got no answers I was looking for. Every answer was indirect and I felt like it planned to be neither right or wrong? But the more I see people answer what she said all the answers kinda start sounding the same if you look at any thread her name comes up? But on the other hand I have personally known people who said they found out a horse was sore somewhere through her. |

| I've called Kathy a few times, never with any high expectations. I always think of it as more of a fun thing to do and not like I'm truly trying to find specific answers. In my experience, she can usually nail their personality really well, and I have animals with very different personalities I've asked her about.
The one that always makes me think she is truly legit though is my dog. He has extreme separation anxiety, is scared to death of other people, and is not a "normal" dog. I asked her what my dog thinks of my husband and she said, "He's BIG (he is), and that he doesn't like him because my husband says he's not a real dog." My husband says that ALL the time. I feel like those are things that she wouldn't be able to just make up and I have never posted them online/Facebook ever.
I had also sold a horse and ended up getting him back because he bucked the husband off. I called Kathy and asked her what happened, she was able to describe it exactly the same as they had. I had only asked her to tell me what happened when they tried to ride him.
I've had a few animals that were really boring. They either didn't show any personality or didn't really answer questions. If those had been my only experiences I probably wouldn't have called her again. |

| Legit or not.... My horses know far too many of my secrets to be chatting with anybody 
My dog has even more. Only things that actually listen to me when I talk LOL. |

| I could almost be on board with "animal communicators" if they were there, one on one with the horse. But through the "air waves" over the phone?? Not so much
And if someone told me that my horse loves their big booty and MC Hammer songs I would demand a refund. |

scwebster - 2018-07-23 3:19 PM From what I am gathering she does not need to see them in person? Do you send a hair sample or anything?
Correct. No hair sample anything. You simply call and tell her their name, age, and what color they are.
If I have to tell the communicator anything then they have already failed IMO

How she knew he had a big butt...maybe she creeped my facebook?
How she knew the places that he was sore in...not sure. That definitely isnt something I go posting anywhere. But she was spot on with them.
Like I said...cant say I'm a 100% believer in the lady, I at least got a good laugh out of it. To each their own.

Location: Illinois | I used her a few months ago, mostly just for fun to see what she'd say. It was interesting, I posted on another thread about it. We went over the time, but weren't trying to talk to any of them for the extra time, we were just talking riding exercises & things to try & she didn't charge me the extra. I'm not gonna repost the whole story but she brought up things I'm not sure how she could ever know unless she called a bunch of my friends asking, as they weren't on any social media. Some things were just general and stupid yes, but some things made me wonder. She discussed an exercise with me that actually has helped my horses a lot since then so even for me the money spent was worth it bc they're working better from that advice. |

My experience with Kathy was not so great.
She was very abrupt and was WAY off on my horse.
Sad to say I was very disappointed and would not use her again.
Same for me. I did 3 horses and she was way off on their personalities and didn't answer any of my questions. I went into it really excited but ended up feeling like i was scammed out of $75 :( |

May I ask what she said about your horse? Im just curious to see if anyone else gets the same response time and time again. She kept telling me my horses were both very stubborn and didnt want to talk at first. Wasted quite a few minutes "trying" to communicate in the beginning.
Same here - She kept telling me my horse was very stubborn and didn't want to talk at first. Wasted quite a few minutes "trying" to communicate in the beginning.
I really wanted to know if my horse was happy with me (even though he wasn't being used much) or if he would rather be sold to someone who would use him more. She spent 15 minutes telling me that I had to make that decision and I needed to get off my keester and make the decision. Actually criticized me for it. I didn't ask her for her opinion on how/if I was procrastinating - I asked her what MY HORSE wanted. When I mentioned that to her (nicely) she got irate and abrupt and pretty mean actually - TOTAL overreaction. Yikes!
I have used several other animal communicators in the past (some were accurate and some not so accurate) but I have NEVER been treated so badly or unprofessionally. |

some people can watch a video and be accurate enough on what is bothering the horse, or at least it is reasonable. there are some safe bets on barrel horses. |
