First I get the horse (named Carlos Vives) to trust me 
Then I gradually distance myself from him … 
… the horse will be surprised to experience that it knows how to swim! 
Excited by his discovery, the horse takes a quick break near shore. 
The second round is much easier 
and we swim to the far end. I discover he can swim much faster than I can. 
Now we try the method with a second horse, El Plomo 
In the end, El Plomo actually pulls me to shore.
