Animal communicator Sandra Mendelson does just that, in this 2-part series, asking several horses what they request of us.
Here is part 1.. we hope you enjoy it! With light, Sandra
ALBERT - RESPECT: WHAT IT REALLY LOOKS LIKE
Sandra Mendelson
Albert
"I can tell you about respect. Humans want it, demand it, but they don’t earn it and they don’t give it. That’s right, even the ones that think they do.
What does respect look like? Patience, first and foremost. We don’t always learn everything as fast as you would like, but we’ll catch on faster if we feel you are honestly patient with us.
Respect and kindness are similar, but respect means you want me to hold my head up, have self-esteem and feel good about myself. Kindness can sometimes overlap with pity, and pity is toxic. It takes away our energy.
“Compassion, though, means you’re on an equal footing because you can feel and identify with what the other is going through. These may all be words, but they are coupled with the actions people take, so they are very powerful.
“Don’t treat us like babies or as if we’re deaf; speaking softly accomplishes more. Remember, our senses are much more acute than yours.
See us in a true and equal partnership. People need to feel good about themselves by looking down at us, as if they are the ones helping us. Please stop this, or we will never be able to all rise to the next level of what is possible.
Take genuine interest in what we think, feel and experience, and we will show you more than you ever dreamed.
Most horses only show you their vanilla exterior when Tutti Frutti lies underneath: our creativity, the full extent of our wisdom and compassion, and yes, even that intelligence you humans prize so highly… You will see the full depth of it only when you see us differently first. Hold us in a picture of our highest potential and you won’t be disappointed. Until then, you will only see through the slats a partial image of our souls.”
DARWIN: STOP THINKING AND TALKING
“When are you going to get through to people about what we really do? They need to know we’re working with energy ALL THE TIME- and that includes when we’re in work and they’re on our backs. We are processing MANY things all at once.
It’s the human overthinking that exhausts me: it shuts us out. We are HEART BEINGS.
I wish humans would just start telling themselves: “Stop Thinking. Stop Talking.” My goodness, if they did, they could then let their other parts hear and feel who we really are. So, here’s my advice:
Mouth and Brain set to OFF.
Eyes, Ears, Heart and Gut/Inner Knowing need to run the show.
We repeat: Slow Down. Sit With Us. And start noticing what we are doing around you!!!!
CASPIAN (WE HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS: PLEASE CHOOSE THEM WISELY)
“Please realize that we hear the thoughts in your head. If you say “I can’t” we feel your self doubt.
If you say “You don’t/won’t” we feel your mistrust.
Please rely less on force and more on TRUST…and positively envision/ see the picture in your mind of what you want from us.”
JAGGER - REAL TEAMS ARE BORN FROM PEACE AND HARMONY
“What we are trying to share with humans in every moment is Gentleness. Peace. Ease. Soothing waves of energy.
They would feel it if they'd get still and patient.
If they greet us in this space they would see who we truly are.
Their fear would melt away. They would stop grasping, trying too hard.
Their experience of us would be so very different. It's just so simple: none of you have to try to be different. Just allow and feel and then it all falls into place: you and us together in harmony.
We Walk Beside You
"REAL teams are born this way."
DJ - SENSITIVITY TO HELP DEAL WITH CHANGE
"Change is scary. Do humans think they're the only ones who struggle with it? The unknown is frightening for us all. It give you a weird feeling in your stomach and your throat tightens. No one ever thinks, when they move animals from place to place, how we experience it.
We all must work so very hard to be accepting and flexible in the face of fear and the loss of what is known to be safe and comforting. It happens to us time and time again: first taken from our mothers and birth families and then each time we are leased or sold: we are moved around like objects.
Even if we are terrified, we are not supposed to show it. We are not given any time to process, adapt and adjust. Just because we don't sob and shake with fear doesn't mean it's not there. Please make the leap: assume we feel what you do."
If our humans would look across at us and see what we're going through...say something supportive and give us a little extra time to get used to the new situation, that would change everything from our perspective.
Even if you don't know exactly what we're thinking, I can tell you, this will bring us so much closer. It will help heal our hearts, help us see you as family - in partnership with us.”

Hugo
HUGO - SPEND TIME WITH US AS WE SPEND IT AMONG OURSELVES
"Spend time with us in silence
Time talking about important stuff (sharing your hopes and dreams)
Time doing something (work, grooming)
Time doing nothing, just being
We don’t expect you to understand the full breadth of what we’re capable of right away, but the more you look across at us and pay attention to the finer details, the more you will come to know our true humor, wisdom, creativity, ability to solve problems and flexibility.
Remember: we are here to love you with all of our being, and that love goes a long, long way.”
WILL: WHAT I WANT IS WHAT EVERY HORSE WANTS:
“Freedom of mind for all.
Equality based partnership with humans.
Freedom to be with other horses.
Ability to explore off premises.
Soft moments with humans who have been gentled.
Everything Else is All Energetic.
Clearing the barn energetically on a regular basis helps us all.”
DOE – CLEAR YOUR ENERGY AND FIND STILLNESS TO CONNECT MORE DEEPLY WITH US
“For those who want to connect more deeply with us, the #1 most important thing is to empty your energy garbage can so you can achieve stillness.
You humans are carrying around so much now, especially those of you who carry others’ energies. Some of you gather them in bunches and store them inside.
Working on stillness is critical because we feel even the tiniest bit of worry or trapped energy (anxiety).
If it hurts – put it in the ground. Some things you may yawn out. You may even feel sick to your stomach and gag. Your eyes may burn, your throat may feel tight and your heart may even feel like it’s letting go of painful rocks. This is clearing. Good, good, good…let it all go.
Some of you will need more time for this than others; be patient with yourself. You get so used to living in a tense state that you don’t even know you’re in it.
Peace lies beneath the rubble of human trauma.”
WOODROW - MEDITATE WITH YOUR HORSE
"We horses are all here to help those who are trying to move humans and the planet forward. You see, you need energetic knives to cut through the illusion of the human world around you.
We horses are sensitive enough to see what's going on for humans, and compassionate enough to try to help." (Not all species are the same- you learn different things from each).
More and more people need to share the power of meditating with horses! If they separate themselves from daily life and come to be near us they will experience what happens.
It isn’t necessary to do long, fancy meditation exercises.
In our presence, awareness blooms, and they will start to hear, see, feel or know the truth that lies beyond the prison of the mind.
Having a hard time getting started? Do you feel like you’re on the outside looking in?
"Sit down near us. All you need to do is sit patiently and focus on your heart. Notice how your heart lets go and the tightness in your chest relaxes.
Close your eyes: do you see vibration, patterns, colors or just calm darkness. It is all good.
Focus on gratitude- that you are surrounded by peace and our energy and love.
Listen to the symphony of sounds around you: our chewing, drinking, snorting, a mower or car in the background. Feel the breeze on your face (note: we cannot help you with the flies but you must accept that all is not comfortable, as we do).
Fight the urge to leave and do something. Allow for things to unfold. You may be surprised at what you experience because we are here, helping you with our energy.”

Emilion
EMILION - TELL US WHAT YOU ARE PLANNING
Tell us first what you are planning; this is a huge concept in changing and deepening our relationship with you.
If you treat us like furniture, we’ll show you only wood.
But…if you look us in the eye with love…talk to us even if you feel silly..then you will begin to see the heart that beats within us.
EMILION - RISK AND BE VULNERABLE
“Put away the tack even for one day and really feel us as you ride bareback.
We’re not looking for stuntwork; we’re talking about connection. Especially if it scares you a bit, know we are here for you."
HONEY BEE - SHARE THINGS, PEOPLE AND PLACES YOU LOVE
Sandra Mendelson
Honeybee
"Share what you love with us! If it's a story or a beer, an apple or a flower..anything you like or anything beautiful.
We love these things too and we appreciate your remembering us. Read us stories you love if the mood suits you. Sing us a gentle song. Take us on a new exploration.
Treat us as your friend, your partner - and that includes introducing us to people you love!
When your hearts are happy, it makes ours sing."
