Five months ago, I joined Suffolk animal communicator Ginny Horton for an emotional session with a new client Sarah and her horse Ruben.
As a result of the communication, Ginny advised Sarah that Ruben was suffering stomach pains which Ruben described as feeling acidic.
A subsequent veterinary consultation and endoscope examination confirmed Ruben's complaint, the presence of ulcers in his stomach, two of which were chronic.
Today I’m meeting up with Ginny again to discuss some recent developments in her work.
“During my communications I make a spiritual connection with the animal which usually results in me receiving strong emotional images which I have to interpret and put into words for the client,” Ginny tells me.
“The colours I am shown are also strong indicators of specific emotions, purple for example represents healing and red is associated with pain.”
Last month, during a session with Mondi, a horse in her 30s, Ginny received very strong and clear answers to questions along with mental images that Mondi was tired and in pain.
“She was telling me that the discomfort in her legs was preventing her from lying down to sleep. She relayed to me the love she had for her human Deborah, and the great life that they had shared but that she was now ready to go to sleep,”
Ginny tells me: “Mondi showed me a picture of a tree with a stump next to it which meant something special to them both.
"To put it into human terms, Mondi was wanting me to tell Deborah that she had no regrets, she’d lived a good life, she’d been loved, and it was time to say good night, but not goodbye,” Ginny explained.
“Passing on such a message is a huge responsibility and must be relayed slowly and sensitively. Although I had never been particularly good at art, the image I was receiving in my mind’s eye was so emotionally strong I decided to try and capture this on paper for Deborah.”
When Deborah received the sketch, she immediately recognised their special place in her garden and returned to Ginny an old photo showing herself and a young Mondi at a favoured tree and the part of it that was later felled, leaving the tree and stump that Ginny sketched.
The original sketch now sits on Deborah’s mantelpiece, in pride of place, as a comforting reminder of her beloved companion, Mondi.
This was the first time Ginny had used drawing as a means of portraying her communications and has led her onto a new path.
Ginny’s mentor who helped nurture the ability to communicate with animals is Richard Geldard who has been a practitioner for many years.
Now, nearly two years on, Ginny is using her sketches to assist Richard with a very personal project.
Richard has written a song called Whispers in the Wind, a true story of his life, and that of his beloved horse Willow, who both suffered abuse, bullying, being controlled and being shut down emotionally by humans.
It’s a story of resilience and finding self-love and truth, a journey overcoming every hurdle to find yourself.
“I was overwhelmed when Richard, having seen some of my sketches, asked me to design the cd cover and draw the images for his music video. It’s a very special project and has taken a lot of time, love, raw truth and honesty to produce the final versions and I’m incredibly proud to have been part of this amazing story.”
The video for Richard’s song, Whispers in the Wind, illustrated by Ginny will be released and premiered on social media on 5th April.
