Maverick recently has had a complete attitude change/shift. Before he kept telling animal communicators that there was nothing wrong with his legs. With contracted tendons in both front legs, this attitude completely puzzled us. We finally figured out that his mental image of himself was as a cripple. Since he saw himself that way, he saw nothing wrong with his legs.
Once Mom and I figured this out we began using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help change the image. It took about a week once we started the EFT for his attitude to change. We went out on Saturday morning to find him standing up, bracing his left leg against the water tub while trying to straighten his right leg out. He repeatedly picked the leg up and tried to place it back down normally, but could not. You could see his frustration with it. We put the splints on him for all day and he spent at least half the day standing and took himself out to the pasture to graze. He took brief naps of about 5 to 10 minutes, then later finally gave in and took a longer nap.
Unfortunately we were only able to leave the splints on for half the day on Sunday as they are rubbing him raw again. But despite that he’s been standing up for longer periods, being more active, etc.
