How often have horse owners thought, “If only the horse could tell us what the problem is, everything would be so much easier!”

Ditte Young specializes in telepathic communication with animals and has experienced considerable success offering courses that teach people how to “talk” to animals through telepathy.

Imagine if you — or your veterinarian, farrier, or trainer — could learn to communicate with your horse through telepathy.

Suddenly, you could ask the horse where it hurts, why it refuses to enter the trailer, what causes its problems during transitions to higher gaits, or why the water jump is so frightening. Horse owners would probably agree that this kind of clarity could make life easier. Although attitudes toward alternative treatments have changed dramatically over the past decade, many people may still consider the idea to be nonsense. However, participants in Ditte Young’s courses in telepathic communication with animals have a very different perspective. Most say they learned the technique during the very first exercise of their first course module.

Everyone Has the Ability to Communicate Telepathically

As early as the late 1990s, Ridehesten magazine began writing about alternative treatment methods for horses. At that time, the articles covered chiropractic care, acupuncture, and even massage. They often drew sarcastic comments and skepticism. Since then, attitudes have changed completely. Today, most riders and horse owners regularly use one or more treatments once considered alternative. For many people, telepathic communication still belongs to the more unconventional category. However, who knows? Perhaps attitudes will change, and telepathy will eventually become a natural element of horse training, handling, and treatment. That is certainly what Ditte Young believes. She continues to experience considerable demand for her courses in telepathic communication.

“Everyone can communicate telepathically. We have simply become accustomed to communicating verbally and relying exclusively on what we can hear, smell, see, or feel,” Ditte Young explains.

It Is Not a Special Gift — Everyone Can Do It!

Two years ago, Ridehesten’s readers first learned about Ditte Young through the article “Communication with Horses Without Words.” That article portrayed Ditte Young, who has built a career communicating telepathically with animals, especially horses. Ridehesten’s longtime editor, Britt Carlsen, wrote it and, despite initial skepticism, listened to people who maintained that Ditte Young truly possessed an unusual ability.

The belief that certain people are born with special gifts or abilities has existed since ancient times. According to Ditte Young, however, telepathy has nothing to do with possessing a special gift. Instead, she believes everyone has it and that most people can learn to use it through training. Participants in her courses agree.

“It is actually quite easy,” they say.

What Is Telepathy?

Before discussing how people can learn to communicate telepathically with their horses, it is worth asking what telepathy actually is. According to Ditte Young, telepathy involves transferring thoughts, emotions, and images between individuals.

She explains that telepathy is connected to a gland in the brain called the pineal gland, also known as the epiphysis. Ditte Young believes that when people communicate telepathically, they use an ability most people have forgotten or lost because they haven’t maintained or developed it. She also believes that many people communicate with one another and with their animals telepathically without realizing it.

“Horse owners often assign a particular personality to their horses. For example, they tell me that their mare is a real princess, or they say they can sense the horse’s mood. But when I ask where they got that impression, they cannot explain it. That is because they are unconsciously using telepathy,” she explains. Ditte Young practices telepathic communication both when she is physically present with an animal and when she has only a photograph. Her students are trained in both approaches.

Why Offer Courses?

Over the years, Ditte Young has built a business largely based on her work in telepathic communication with animals. It is therefore natural to ask why she wants to teach other people a skill that could potentially make her own services unnecessary.

“For me, the purpose is simply to spread the message and help people realize that none of this is hocus-pocus,” Ditte explains.

She also emphasizes that learning telepathic communication is one thing, but she has an additional advantage because she is a trained therapist. This gives her more tools to process the information she believes she receives through telepathy and to use it constructively.

She points out that asking the right questions is essential and that her experience as a therapist is particularly valuable for conflict management, such as disagreements between horses and their owners.

Courses Consisting of Three Modules

Ditte Young’s animal communication courses are divided into three modules, with a maximum of ten participants in each group.

“It is important that there are no more participants if my feedback and coaching are going to work properly,” Ditte explains.

Module 1

During the first module, participants learn what telepathy is and begin a series of exercises designed to open their senses and the channels through which telepathic communication is believed to take place. On the second exercise of the day, participants receive a sealed envelope containing a photograph of an animal brought by another participant.

“I coach and guide people and give them a structure to work with. In fact, all participants communicate telepathically during the first day of the course,” Ditte explains.

She continues: “What most people find difficult on the first day is understanding and accepting that they are actually performing telepathy.”

Module 2

During the second module, participants focus on learning to distinguish between telepathy and projection. In simple terms, they learn to set aside their own assumptions and avoid unconsciously projecting their personal characteristics and emotions onto the animal.

The second module also becomes more spiritual as participants attempt to communicate with deceased animals. They also practice communicating telepathically in front of other people to learn how to handle distractions.

Module 3

During the third and final module, Ditte draws particularly on her background as a therapist. Participants receive training in coaching techniques and how to ask questions. As Ditte explains, asking animals questions in the right way is extremely important. Otherwise, it may take a long time to get the information they seek, and misunderstandings may occur.

“It is often not until the final module that people begin to trust their own abilities and understand that what they are doing is telepathy,” Ditte says.

The modules are about a month apart, and participants receive homework, exercises, and practical training assignments between sessions.

What the Students Say

So far, Ditte Young has conducted 14 courses, most of them on Zealand. She has also organized courses on Funen and recently completed another series of courses in Northern Jutland. Ridehesten spoke with several students who had completed all three modules to hear about their experiences learning telepathic communication with animals.

Gitte Kamp, 48 — Registered Veterinary Nurse, Veterinary Nutrition Advisor

Regarding Ditte Young’s courses, Gitte says: “She offered a course that seemed to provide not only the tools—or perhaps more accurately, the guidance on how to use them—but also a structure that I had been missing. With that expectation, I signed up. On the very first day of Ditte Young’s course, I was given a picture of a horse. Somewhat hesitantly, I began following Ditte’s instructions, and the experience turned out to be far more intense and conscious than anything I had encountered before. The horse’s emotions, its psyche—indeed, its entire being—filled my body with sensations. Like a close, trusted friend, it explained how it was feeling and what it needed. Its sorrow overwhelmed me to such an extent that tears streamed down my face when I had to share the message I had received.”

More Than Just Flights of Fancy

And so it continued, exercise after exercise. Information—things I could not possibly have known—was revealed; sometimes shown, sometimes felt. The animals’ owners could provide feedback, confirming much of what emerged. This gave me the assurance that these were not merely flights of fancy conjured by my imagination. It instilled confidence in the entire process and sparked enthusiasm for the possibilities telepathic communication with animals can open up.

Anyone Can Learn It

Today, I am even more aware of my own abilities. I know these skills aren’t unique to me; anyone can learn to master them. It simply requires the right tools, a structured approach, and practice—just like anything else one wishes to become proficient in. Today, I use what I have learned to unravel complex issues or determine how to diagnose a potential problem.

It is a highly practical tool

I apply these now-structured skills when selecting nutrition and supplements, and consistently in my interactions with the animal in front of me. It is almost like a language: I gain useful information that I can translate, while the animal feels understood by someone who speaks its own language. This fosters trust and cooperation.

A fantastic gift—an incredibly useful tool that benefits the relationship between the animal and its owner.

PARTICIPANTS FROM NORTHERN JUTLAND

The four participants from Northern Jutland whom Ridehesten interviewed—one man and three women—all shared that their motivation for signing up was a general interest in animals and animal communication. Several had heard of Ditte Young and found her work intriguing. As one participant put it: “There is more between heaven and earth than one might expect!”

It Is Actually Easy

All four participants found that they were able to communicate telepathically after just a few exercises during the first course module. “The most incredible moment was actually one of the first exercises, involving an image inside a sealed envelope; that’s when I realized I could actually do it,” recalls Mette, one of the four participants. All four shared the same realization: that telepathy is actually quite easy to learn. “It’s simpler than you’d imagine—there’s no hocus-pocus involved,” one of them explains. Another participant says: “Sometimes it can be hard to believe that you’re actually capable of it, but it really is true—you just have to trust that.”

What Does Telepathy Feel like?

The participants’ experiences of telepathy vary; several have noted that the telepathic communication becomes more detailed as they gain greater mastery of the techniques.

Louise describes her experience of telepathy as a blend of sensations and images, adding that she can often sense the state of mind of the individual she is communicating with. “When you sit down with a piece of paper, it just flows—it’s best not to overthink it,” Louise explains. Helle mentions that, initially, she often perceived various colors and images, but now she communicates using both full sentences and images. Tage—the only man in the group, who hails from Northern Jutland and serves as the chairman of a local riding club—describes experiencing telepathy partly as emotions and partly as a kind of internal film. He has also experienced the transfer of physical sensations, such as pain, from the animal he was communicating with.

What Will You Use It For?

The participants intend to use their new skills in different ways: one hopes to turn it into a full-time or part-time profession, while another uses it solely for personal purposes—communicating with their own animals. Overall, however, the four participants agree that the course in telepathic communication has provided them with an entirely new perspective on being an animal owner. “You develop a different relationship with your own animals; it’s as if they gain a more distinct personality, and you end up treating them differently,” one of the participants explains.
