Oh YouTube… with your anonymous account holders, facilitating the most bottom-feeder comments of all the social media…
I’ve actually been publishing videos on YouTube since 2008 for my health company, so trust me when I say I am well-acquainted with YouTube trolldom. I know how to set up filters to block spam and hold comments for review.
I’ve always welcomed dissenting or opposing viewpoints. But sometimes I just get fed up with people who have obviously watched only 10% of my video and then left a critical comment. Or people who are only there to proselytize a secondhand viewpoint or theory (Rick Gore fans, anyone?).
Sometimes, I’ve published a video specifically for you readers and left it Unlisted on YouTube – so that it can only be played here on the blog post – because I know the video relies heavily on understanding the context and thus will be misinterpreted by the average YouTube viewer.
But sometimes, I just get doggone tired of answering the same objections and comments – so I made this video! Now, I can just paste a link to this video, instead of wasting my time typing an answer 🙂 Hopefully, people will be able to open their mind just a tiny bit and allow some understanding of these concepts through the wall of dogma and fear…

Thank you so much Jini
A powerful message from both of you, There is so much a natural herd can teach us, how to live a better, fuller, connected life. <3
So true Monica! xo
ah Jini, I’ve missed you! What a briliant video, it’s nourishing always to hear your take and it always mirrors mine; and for me your delivery is always refreshing, courageous and true; thank you for your endless generosity!
Awww thanks Rachel, you’re such a sweetheart! Yes I was over in Europe for a bit and no time to edit anything – next vid will show you some of what I got up to there (when I missed you by a hair!!!).
Great share Jini and Rocky. So grateful you do what you do! You’re a breath of fresh air! I’ve been so encouraged by the herd and LTYH community and I know Jarrah is grateful too!
Bless those cotton socks lol!
Namaste

🙂 hugs Erin!
That’s Jini…show them …it is always peculiar that people need to comment negatively about things online! Why not just move on to things you resonate with? I have actually been tempted a few times…then realize…I would be putting my opinion out…to someone who has no interest in it! So why waste the energy! Rocky sure seems like a cool dude! Love his perspective! We all have to follow our own path! Keep striving to find what resonates with us as individuals…this is what I feel the horses help me with on a daily basis! I do feel for those… not seeing that in them…and missing the opportunity to learn. Like you said look at this planet….we are getting a lot wrong! But again each of walks at a different pace! I say you can learn something from every sentient being…even if it’s Learning what you don’t want to be like! ✌🏼❤️🐴
Wanted to add…recently Banner & Dreamer were rubbing there tails…especially in front of me…I went into my head…parasites…no…that did not feel correct…a few days later ..as I saw Banner had a Big dread lock..right next to the tail bone…I do not brush the horses tails..as they don’t ever show me they care for that…but that thought came through strongly …so after dinner mashes …I got the coconut oil out and they basically lined up to get there tails brushed out….as soon as the dreads next to the tail bones were untangled …they walked away…one by one….& No tail rubbing since! Still so appreciate these affirmations of my intuition/connection getting the messages from them correct! Always feels so special! ✌🏼❤️🐴
Hooray – go Michelle!! That’s awesome and truly, does anything feel any better than growing fluency in the language of animals?? It’s so cool.
All true Michelle! And yes, Rocky is fantastic – aside from how he relates to the horses, he RAKES the gravel after cleaning the manure, so it looks nice!
So love the stories, for me it means you are on a journey unlike those who are stuck in their
heads….how sad for them…
Just keep those stories flowing…
Great input from Rocky from both sides of the fence
Thanks Lorraine! I thought I’d throw a masculine, motorcycle-riding, martial artist male in there for just that reason 😉
Yes, and big thanks to Rocky too for his all he shares here!! xxx
In reading the comments I am once again reminded that like recognizes like,Jini your stories have given me the courage to acknowledge the connection that’s been a part of my life experience as far as I can remember, And in sharing these things as a child with people taught me that my imagination was ‘very active’.And still kept the profound connection with my animals, and they communicated everything a little girl in a very strict religious community. Needed to know about acceptance, empathy, and unconditional love you. My first experience with a horse was in the pasture next door,A beautiful stallion,Retired race horse,who was said to be dangerous. Long story short,when the Horses owner found me at six years old, lounging in the pasture across 2 German Shepherds whose only mission in life was to keep people out of the stables where the mares were, and guard the kennels where the female shepherds,were housed as they bred dogs as well,She immediately recognized that we were kindred spirits. Gave a kid with the imagination, Confirmation. Put me to work and saved my spirit,those animals taught me the rest, including that beautiful stallion with a warrior heart. Thanks to you just isn’t enough, its been a while, thanks to Montaro, who’s warrior heart remindes me of that long ago Stallion. Bless you. Jorjana,and Rosie dog.💜
What a beautiful story Jorjana – I could just SEE you with those dogs and the new life of endless possibility opening before you as the owner gave you a chance. Your first portal into your truest self. No doubt the animals did much to protect/heal you from the dictates of religion. Big hugs from all of us – I’ll be interested to see if Montaro shows up in your dreams at some point… maybe melded with your original warrior stallion xo
Wow, Jini, I completely and utterly sympathize and empathize with you.
The way people hide behind anonymity constantly annoys me as well, as I watch youtube videos.
And why can’t they at least be respectful and decent in the way they talk?
I feel like just because they can write it down, it gives a lot more courage and voice to negative thoughts. NO ONE would ever say that to your face!!
Thanks once again for uploading a video (haven’t seen it yet).
Looking forward to watching it!
Much love,
Eliya
Yes it’s true. And many times I look behind the vitriol, to the pain, and I respond to THAT. Then the person does a complete turn-around and sends me hugs and appreciation. But it all takes TIME – so pasting a video link is much faster 🙂
Wow, that sounds like a great way to avoid conflict.
How beautiful, you really remind me of my mum (it does sound weird!) in the way that you have this insight into the heart of the matter.
Thanks again
Eliya
Thank you! I treasure your blogs and video’s.
Charlotte
Thank you Charlotte and nice to hear from you! 🙂
Oh BLESS that big mama!! The gesture also shows that although Rocky touches them in very different ways to you and I, it’s all good! And they have a different relationship with him. Because it’s not about the tone, or quality of touch, or a bunch of other things we may think are important – it’s about your HEART and your INTENTION. That’s what really matters.
And YES, the listening – you said it so eloquently here! This is not just a meditative/intuitive concept, it entails physical time, attention to detail, pondering, watching and waiting for conformation or correction, and so on. We miss you!! xoxo
“Also… Audi is hilarious.. I loved her very clear thought on the hard pat of affection.”😂😅
Yes, Güliz, that was absolutely priceless : ))))

Jini you are so courageous to put yourself out there with your blog and videos. Thank you for doing it, you’re the only “horse person” I follow because you are the only one who has said out loud what I’ve been noticing and feeling myself; I relate so much to what you experience and that validates what I experience. I now know I’m not crazy (when you’re alone with a way of thinking and feeling/experiencing things nobody ever talks about, it’s hard to completely trust your instinct), I was often “made to doubt” myself before I found you. I can’t say enough how much this heard (of horses and people) that you’ve gathered here means to me!
That being said, I totally understand that dealing with the haters must be hard, and even if we all know they don’t necessarily mean to be hurtful, I think a big part of the hurt comes from the discouragement of facing that ignorance over and over again, from everywhere around, and noticing so few “awake” people… I have to say this is what makes me feel lonely, and that’s what you (and the heard) give me: the wonderful feeling of not being alone!
You’re a light bearer.
Thank you Capucine! And yes, I get that this is the ‘normal’ pathway most people follow when faced with new/contradictory information – that’s why they lash out. But I also don’t want to spend my time trying to explain things to people who are closed – hence the vid. Now I can just copy/paste the URL and I don’t need to write anything! Yay 🙂
And yes, we have created a wonderful little community for ourselves here where we are no longer the single, isolated person that feels/experiences these things. One of the big benefits of the Internet! I remember when Kesia and I first started this blog and we thought, “Probably no one is going to read these posts, but who cares, let’s just tell our stories.” We were SO surprised when people like you started coming out of the woodwork echoing our experiences!
I know that everyone here also understands the power of energy and intention, so for all of us, it’s not even whether people understand or agree with these concepts of animal sentience. What’s important is that each of us keeps holding this reality, this frequency, and letting it resonate out across the globe. THAT alone is a very powerful contribution to this planet. Much love to you and your crew xox
Thank you! I just found your website by default and I’m so thankful! Finally someone else who gets horses on the level that I do! I always knew there was a better way. I kept telling myself- these typical training techniques aren’t working for them…there has to be a better way. There just has to be. Turns out..I’m not crazy! 🙂
Personally, if you look around this planet, I think you could make a pretty good case for “normal” being a state of mental/spiritual illness. So it makes me happy when people call me weird, or crazy. Tells me I’m on the right track! And so glad you found your way here 🙂
Great reply to Stephie, Jini, hear, hear and to everyone, love and Happy New Year!! xxxxxxx
