Forastero :
Forastero had been brought to the Club Hipico del Sureste, where I worked, from one of the
outlying “ranchos”. He was very thin, in poor condition and accustomed to inconsiderate,
aggressive treatment. As a result, although he was passive, he was fearful and resistant.
He incurred an abcess on one hoof, which required that his foot be soaked in a bucket of hot
water daily for 15 minutes. This was impossible to do with the vet and the “caballerangos”
aggressive approach. After several tries on their part I told them to leave him alone and I
would soak his foot.
In the first two sessions I tied him loosely in his stall ad did various TTOUCHES all over his
body and stroked his legs with the wand. In the third session I was able to put his foot in the
bucket and continued to do TTEAM on him to keep him standing still for the entire 15
minutes. The soaking needed to continue for 10 days. After the 4th session just a few
minutes of TTEAM was needed in the beginning. Then he would stand quietly for the
remaining time with just an occasional touch or stroke.
During one of these sessions the vet came by and was astonished to see Forastero standing
quietly with his foot in the bucket. He claimed that I must be a witch because I could
“hypnotise” the horses. Even though I had tried to show him and the caballerangos what I
was doing and how to do it, they just could not accept that anyone could get those results.
The cool thing is, any one with a will, and a little patience can do it!
