"We helping!"

FYI two priority sessions are open this morning. Book on my website.

27/02/2025

In my last post you saw an adorable picture of my equines' muzzles all pointing to the camera. You might guess it is very difficult to hold a camera/phone under a horse without having them drop down to touch it. Here are some of the "outtakes". The teeth are Freyja's. It looks like the phone had a close call but she was being very careful and no hands or phones were harmed.

Cancellations- openings for you!
Book on my website dawnallen.org because I will be out feeding the horses. There is a 40 minute established client this morning and a few openings on Friday! I was booked up for two weeks then a few people changed times so maybe it was meant to be.
Also can't wait to share this photo collage that I created- my three equines and me in selfie mode!

Juliet often naps with a twist or awkward position.

Ever wonder what I do when I am not with my animals? And not working?
I'm a downhill skiing panda! My head was cold so I found something to wear over my helmet.

With everyone standing in the barn more and exercising less the cranky bickering has ramped up between Mocha and Freyja. It is hard to do more with our crusty/icy snow.

Juliet on the left and Beth on the right. They has a nice 4th Birthday on Saturday!

Our homemade cat scratcher. This is the most effective couch saver. It has a thin base that goes under the couch foot so when the cats scratch it is solid and does not move which is very important for their enjoyment.

Can you relate?
Every now and then I see one of my animals sleeping and fear they are dead. I stop and hold my breath waiting for a sign of life. I knew Freyja was just sleeping in the snow but I still got a little scared and felt relieved when her ear twitched.

I had a pet rabbit- Clyde- years ago. He used to fall asleep and be unresponsive. I would see him, panic, and fear he was dead. With some jostling he would wake up. It fooled me every time!

I can't remember if I ever introduced this family member before... This is my lemon tree. I planted it from a seed when I was a child. Now nearly 40 years later we still live together. Now the tree even has lemons- it hasn't had many lemons in the past but I started using a citrus fertilizer and it helped.

I was admiring Juliet's princess paws this morning. I love the way her floofy fur comes over her legs.

Faceplant on Dad's legs.

Maybe the mares are in heat. I can tell you there is 90% peace but then in the last few days there are moments of stress. Mocha has been a bit of a tyrant all along but Freyja is sticking up for herself more. (Mocha is brown and white, Freyja is black and white). Volume up for squeals and braying... Burrito is braying because he is upset about their bickering. This footage is from the security camera.

Burrito got a new blanket/coat. He isn't comfortable laying down in it so he got no sleep! He is so tired. I hope I can convince him to sleep in his coat because he shivers when it gets really cold.

Look at baby Beth showing off her big "lobster" paws. She has so many cute baby photos! (She is turning 4 soon.)

25/01/2025

Mocha and I have been doing clicker training together. Yesterday I was on the inside of the arena and she was on the outside of that fence (reverse roundpen concept). We were training with no ropes and a significant distance between us so she was fully free. It felt like she was having lots of fun then suddenly she just walked away. I waited to see if she would come back but she kept walking... to her water! She took a big drink. Looked around. Took another long drink --thirsty! Then she looked back at me and I invited her to train again and she joined me enthusiastically.
Training this way is so special because you end up with an animal that feels comfortable to get their needs met.

23/01/2025

I am on bluesky. I hope you will follow me there- then I can follow you too! This place is full of ads and stress. What do you want to hear more about?
I really miss this family and so does Burrito. His new family isn't the same but he is making the best of it.

Beth has some ideas of how she likes to be held - and it can change depending on the mood. Today she wanted all four paws to be resting on my hand. A paw shelf. And she used to like her tail supported under the bottom hand but now she likes her tail out.

Feel the floof.

A relaxing video showing real life final feeding at 8 PM. Mocha does a great stretch. Burrito does his best imitation of a cat. Calming and boring depending on your preferences!

I wanted to show you Freyja's polar fur! She is so fuzzy! Burrito has a long coat but no undercoat so he is not as warm. Mocha is fuzzy too with a think undercoat but shorter fur so it is hard to show on the video.

Positive developments in the horse relations. They are now all happily sleeping together in the barn! It looks as if this video is capturing Freyja in a dream. Perhaps she is dreaming about eating grass. (I asked but she doesn't remember.)

Barn sounds, volume up... there are tons of birds chirping in the hay loft. Mocha is grumbling and making a growling sound, Burrito is braying. Then when they all start eating the birds get quiet. Also did you know I have a great newsletter with stories about animal communication and practical advice about learning to understand your own animals? Sign up on my website dawnallen.org

Volume up for bray. Doesn't he kind of look like a bad actor in a Shakespeare play pretending to die?

I am working really hard at minimizing food aggression with my horses. They are new to each other so we are all getting to understand the dynamic. This video shows how well my choreography is working. As you can see Mocha must be first. Freyja needs to be last because I have to stand and hold her bowl for her (she insisted). As soon as they are done I quickly get the bowls out of there to avoid any fighting. This is one of the challenges of having a herd free together 24x7. PS. Notice Mocha is perfectly clean- bright white and Burrito and Freyja look like they were mud wrestling! Mocha does not like to get dirty!

Sister boxing with Owen as the "impartial observer". It can be hard to tell if some cats are playing, fighting, or play fighting. Fighting tends to be more intense- loud yowling, growling, real bites and scratches. While the play can include grooming, little breaks in the action, usually very little "voice" involved. Sometimes play gets too rough for one of the cats and they will sometimes getting into a tiff. With these two it rarely escalates.

This video is an awesome example of animals communicating with each other. Burrito is not happy that the horses want to nap and he is pestering Mocha to get up. Watch what she does next! Spoiler - she literally threatens to kick his a$$. The video is taken from my office window so the quality is low due to zoom in but still worth seeing.

Freyja is a gaited horse. Her breed, Icelandic Horses, are famous for their special gait- the tolt. Most horses have 4 gaits, walk, trot, canter, gallop. Here Freyja is showing off her "pace". In this gait the two left legs go together and the two right legs go together. It is a similar rhythm as the trot but the trot uses diagonal legs together (front right, hind left). What was the rush? Grass of course!

Animal Communication

A phone consultation with me is an opportunity to communicate directly with your animal companions by way of telepathy. You can get questions answered about their viewpoints on environment, behaviors, food, health, and how they think. A consultation is an opportunity for you and your animal to better understand each other, creating a deeper bond or better partnership.
