Talk Tracks Ep 2: Exploring Animal Telepathy with Ditte Young
I always went to shows very close by. And this time I had to drive for hours to Norway and I kind of panicked a little that I had to do this with her in order to be a part of the Norwegian team. So I called Ditte and said, I really need your help with this horse.

I thought Ditte was a little bit crazy, but I did, like she told me. And I drove all the way to Norway. And she was standing there like she had never done in her life. And she was like eating and drinking and behaved so nice. And we got a silver medal at the Norwegian championship, which was also our main goal. And I thought that, okay, my horse is cured.

I had to call the vet. to come and sedate her and give her the fluids. So from that day on, I always told her if we were going right or left or whatever. And I had her for five years where I did the same thing and I was always driving her.

Except this one time when my groom was to drive her home from the shows and she was kind of laughing at me for doing this all the time because I always said to her, don't talk to me while driving this horse because I have to focus. And she couldn't load it on the way home before she told the horse, okay, I'm sorry. You won't bump your head. And I will tell you how the journey will be.

So wait, who said the horse, you won't bump your head? When my groom was to drive her home one time, she couldn't load her without saying it. But then she said it and then the horse would get in. Yeah, she just, yeah, then she just went in by herself.

I think it's, if you believe it when you think it, then the horse will do what you say. But if you believe it when you say it out loud, then you need to say it out loud.

Yeah, absolutely. I would never have had a medal if it wasn't for Dita. And I think also to go for the qualifying for the Olympics, if it wasn't for Dita, it wouldn't have happened.

My name is Ellenbegide Farbroth, normally called EB. I am a Norwegian dressage rider. I've been qualified for two Olympic championships. I was the national team champion in Norway three times as a senior rider at Grand Prix level.

The one time that made the most impact, like both on my sporting career and myself as a person, was the one time I had Dita helping me with the Tahinia, the horse that I also was qualified for the Olympics with. We had a lot of issues loading her in the trailer or in the truck. She was a big horse and she had some claustrophobic anxiety when she was in the truck.
