Animal telepathy

Isn't it amazing how animals demonstrate their telepathic abilities. I picked up a book earlier, and was reading a short section on cat telepathy, when I stood up and looked out the window.
I spotted a horse bum and tail in the bushes, so went to investigate (cos I'm like that) and lo and behold, it was a big horse.......but he was 'standing guard' over a little mini horse who had come to talk to him on the other side of the fence, and got her mane caught in the barbed wire. Did I pick up the call for help? Were the two of them talking to each other whilst they waited for me to 'get the message''?
I think so.
What do you think?
