Yes they do. Very often an animal will come to us to help us learn a lesson we have chosen for our Soul journey on the Earth Plane through the vehicle known as the human body “the mortal flesh” In the case of horses they are often sold several times in a life time, the new owner buying an animal that has had experiences before their partnerhsip occurred sometimes finds the animal has habits that test the owner to the very limit of their perception of who and what they are emotionally. i.e. they have been drawn together for a reason - for the horse to learn something from the new owner and vice versa. I think the majority of human beings find it easier to give unconditional love to an animal - after all animals are the best teachers of what these two words actually mean - how often have you seen the dog in the dogs home having been beaten by human beings starved or other atrocities lick the hand of the human rescuer displaying unconditional love for a stranger who has the same shape and appearance “human” as the perpetrator of its abuse. I know from my experiences with my own animals and their passing that horses do pass over and have a group energy they can go back to or if they have evolved they can choose where they go. I say this only in light of actual situations which have taken place in my life and had it not been for clients coming to me for healing reporting being transported in their mind to a planet full of horses or dogs, after me having silently requested confirmation of the existence of such places I would never have believed it. I always seek confirmation not because I do not trust but because I want to know that I know what I know before passing it on.
