Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Introduction to Ditte Young and Personal Background

• [01:58] Ditte Young introduces herself as a Copenhagen-based animal telepath and mother of a non-speaking autistic son, Philip. She describes how her telepathic bond with Philip allows her to intuit when he needs help, such as sensing nosebleeds or iPad issues.
  • Quote:
    "He calls for me in my head and when I enter his room he could have a nosebleed or his iPad is malfunctioning and he actually needs my help. So that's my little wonder child." — Ditte Young [01:58]

2. Case Study: Emily Koenig and Her Ponies' Unexplained Behaviors

• [03:14] Emily Koenig (Danish national showjumper) recounts childhood struggles when a champion pony refused water jumps, a problem unresolved by trainers or coaches.
• [05:20] Emily’s Realization: Dita accurately described visions Emily had of the pony seeing the water as "broken glass," sowing the first seeds of belief.
  • Quote:
    "The first time she stood in our stable, Dita told me stuff about me and my horse that only a veterinarian would know." — Emily Koenig [05:20]
• [05:53] Ditte’s Interpretation:
  • The pony telepathically conveyed fear of the reflection on water and a desire for Emily's guidance. When Emily implemented Dita's advice, the issue resolved instantly.
  • Quote:
    "Her pony told me, it's like, I can't. The sun reflects on the water, and I'm afraid that I'm gonna, you know, fall. So I'm actually taking care of Emily." — Ditte Young [05:53]

3. Animal Detecting Illness: Emily’s Horse and Arthritis

• [06:53] A new horse refused jumps, communicating worry over Emily’s inflamed knees—later diagnosed as juvenile arthritis, information that predated medical symptoms or diagnosis.
  • Quote:
    "My horse was telling me that I had warm knees. I couldn't feel it myself that I was hurting, but my horse could feel it for me." — Emily Koenig [07:16]
  • Dita relays the horse’s insights about medications and their effectiveness, with treatments aligning to feedback received from the animal.

4. Solving a Stable-Wide Mystery: 25 Horses with “Water Allergy”

• [09:27] After 20+ horses developed mysterious rashes, veterinarians were stumped. Ditte was called in, telepathically deducing “water allergy” and suggesting a costly bedding change. Tests in Germany confirmed Ditte’s intuition, and the problem resolved overnight.
  • Quote:
    "There was such a bad energy in the stables... it was like a mutual calling back to me, like a tone of a voice in my head saying, we suffer from too much water." — Ditte Young [10:16]

5. Navigating Skepticism in Animal Telepathy

• [14:34] Ditte acknowledges skepticism and the presence of frauds in her field but asserts authenticity is proven by lasting success.
  • Quote:
    "If you are not very talented, you can never get the chance to make a living out of it for more than a week. People's gonna notice it." — Ditte Young [14:34]

6. Elite Equestrian Athletes' Perspective on Telepathy

• [16:26] Helen Bekke Gille Fabot (Norwegian Olympic rider) shares how Dita’s telepathy resolved her horse’s severe trailer anxiety, resulting in championship success.
  • Helen on applying advice:
    "I thought Didi 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 we got a silver medal at the Norwegian championship." — Helen Bekke Gille Fabot [18:49]
  • On belief and effectiveness:
    “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.” — Helen Bekke Gille Fabot [20:31]
• [15:07] Ditte reveals that many elite riders implicitly accept telepathic communication, though social stigma and fear of skepticism keeps them quiet. She’s consulted by royal families, national teams, and military trainers worldwide.

7. A Moving Live Reading: Understanding Rescue Dog Tucker

• [25:03] Ky Dickens recounts struggles to bond with a traumatized, senior rescue dog, Tucker, who seems “shut down” and disconnected despite months of love.
• [25:49] During a live telepathy session, Ditte remotely “reads” Tucker via Zoom:
  • Accurately recounts his playful past and prior owners, his fear of being rehomed, and physical health issues (blindness, itching, possible protein allergy), including details (like two microchips, gender of prior owner, timing of her death) confirmed by the family but not disclosed.
  • Powerful moment:
    "He keeps asking me, am I here to stay, am I here to stay or do I have to get into a new home?" — Ditte Young [29:07]
  • Emotional reactions from Ky and Kaisa as Ditte’s statements match the family’s ongoing doubts about whether Tucker would remain with them.
  • Behavioral advice (predictable routine, verbal reassurances, explaining comings and goings, engaging him outdoors) transforms approach to Tucker.
  • Quote:
    "What he lacks is actually structure and if you can't have that, just tell him, Tucker, today we're bringing in my daughter's friends after school and they're going to stay here for supper and then they're going to go home. Then it's predictable." — Ditte Young [33:43]

8. Aftermath: Changing Beliefs & Daily Routines

• [38:33] Family reflects on the impact: everyone starts intentionally reassuring Tucker about schedules and routines, observing immediate positive changes in his behavior and emotional state.

• [37:28] Kaisa, drawing on her upbringing on a Minnesota farm, notes intuitive communication is natural and expected among animals, reinforcing belief in Ditte’s skills.

  • Quote:
    "I think growing up on a farm, you always know that animals are communicating without talking. I mean, that's just all around us all the time." — Kaisa [37:28]

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• "When you work at that high a level, you need to be totally simultaneously with the horse and that's telepathy... The higher you get...the more people have an opinion...they do use it, otherwise I wouldn't have helped so many as I have." — Ditte Young [15:07]

• "Whether or not someone believes in animal communication doesn't really matter. Many philosophers agree that something is real if it produces an effect or alters the state of the world. Our reading with Dieta changed how we treat Tucker...that's what matters." — Ky Dickens [39:12]
