I had a similar experience, I asked my horse to also call on the angels to help us find a better yard. In 1 week, I found thee best yard I have every been to. We are still there 3 years layer. The grooms are such compassionate and caring grooms, the stable manager is also a very kind person, my horse has put on weight, his hooves have been treated and all who know my horse say hes such a patient sweet boy. Yes I believe horses have a very big connection with God and they certainly help us if we ask.

Well done Belinda, finally someone would mention "higher consciousness" instead of reverting to natural science which is completely at odds with underlying phenomena. At last!

I found this site because I am trying to find something positive about helping humans because it does not feel good. GOD put me on this earth to care for animals, nature and my fellow humans. Well..... I will help a child animal or nature but adults are greedy and each time I help I feel pain. So I ask GOD for an answer because I know he rewards but it does not feel good. So I am not sure I will extend a hand. Maybe I should spend time with horses to see if I can heal from this.
