No. 250. Laura Plunkett - The Basics of Animal Communication
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
Laura Plunkett brings 50 years of working with horses and 20 years of intuitive practice to her horse conversations. With passion, commitment and humor, Laura works with owners, veterinarians, barn managers, trainers and equine program managers to help their horses have a voice and be truly understood. Horses get the opportunity to explain their behaviors, describe their histories, answer end-of-life questions, resolve past traumas, express their hopes and dreams, talk about their physical comforts and challenges and sometimes complain about their pasture mates. Clients come away with increased peace of mind, specific steps forward, and a deeper understanding of what their horses have been trying to “say". Laura firmly believes everyone can learn animal communication and incorporates client skill-building into her classes and clinics. She loves being a volunteer and board member at Misty Meadows Equine Learning Center. She resides with her family in Marblehead and West Tisbury, MA.
